Streaming audio playing slow with clicks - Forum - Main Forums : PC ...

Sample rate mis-match would be my guess. Do you have a sound interface that locks to an
external clock source?

Is there a manual setting for clock speed on your interface within the mixer software? Is this set?

Generally this only happens if you have Windows thinking it needs to convert the sample rate to 96kHz or similar, when the card is in fact running at 48kHz or similar.

FitMamaEats - Home - Gearing Up for Harvard Pilgrim's Well ...

What have I gotten myself into? I'm usually a wuss when it comes to challenges so I surprised myself by agreeing to participate in Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's Well Together Challenge, which pairs health bloggers who encourage each other to try something new for one month. I've enjoyed reading the other blogger teams' experiences as they braved new fitness classes, cooked with unusual ingredients, meditated, or trialed quick and easy family recipes. Check out Harvard Pilgrim's Facebook page to read those posts and get other great wellness tips.

Well, my turn has come (1st post next week)! My blogger in crime is Michele from A Yummy Mummy, a seriously cool mom with three beautiful young daughters. I was instantly inspired and felt my blood pressure drop when looking at her blissful photography and absorbing the laid-back feel of her blog. Lately my job(s) have become more demanding, which on the one hand is rewarding because my work involves helping people but I've also recognized that when I don't do things that nourish my inner being, I'm a little?lot crankier and feel the boundaries of my world shrinking. So I've come up with two personal weekly challenges inspired by Michele to help change up my routine: 1) Learn hula hooping and 2) Express gratitude for little things during the day that make me smile.

I recall briefly having a hula hoop when I was about 10 years old and could even do it around my knees. But wow has hooping evolved. Some gyms offer weighted hoops as part of a fitness class that strengthens the core, and if you search on YouTube you'll discover that it has become a sport. It's probably bigger in Europe than here as most of the instructors in the videos have European or Australian accents. This one video blew me away (no it's not on fast forward!) and wondered if I could achieve even 30 seconds of what this hooper accomplishes here:

Thankfully, Michele created a great video of tricks for me that feels more manageable.

I'm excited to get started...

5th Annual Phalen Park Light Display Helps Local Charities ? CBS ...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) ? A holiday tradition that benefits local charities gets underway Tuesday night in St. Paul.

It?s the fifth year for drive through light display ?Holiday Lights in the Park? at Phalen Park. It?s great entertainment to look at, but more importantly it provides assistance to local charities.

Organizers with the project said a majority of the displays are new this year, including a finale with an under sea adventure that includes a sunken pirate ship, scuba divers and Santa Claus scuba diving.

It?s also a Minnesota-themed display with the parks and recreation, featuring the biggest display they?ve ever had with all the options people have when they visit the state?s parks. That includes displays for fishing, rock climbing, skiing.

The display costs $10 on weekends and $8 on weekdays to see, and the proceeds go towards four local charities. Those include the Union Gospel Mission, Second Harvest Heartland, a youth program called ?Under Construction? and the St. Paul Parks Conservancy. Entry fees go to those charities, which have partnered with event organizers for the last five years.

The display features hundreds of thousands of LED light bulbs which are energy efficient, running at about one-third the power of a normal light bulb. There are more than 60 light displays for people to take in, and the display goes through Jan. 1, 2013.

There?s a CD soundtrack for sale at Kowalski?s Markets around the Twin Cities, and that purchase gets people a free pass to the display.

Snooki, Jionni LaValle Talk Son Lorenzo And Their Lives As New ...

Partying is nothing compared to motherhood.

At least that's how Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi feels.

The "Jersey Shore" star, 24, is "obsessed" with 2-month-old son Lorenzo and can't wait to celebrate the holidays with her little meatball.

"Motherhood is perfect!" Snooki told HuffPost Celebrity at MTV's Restore the Shore special on Nov. 15. "I always wanted to be a young mom and I thought [at] 26, and I?m going to be 25, so I kind of did it right. And it just changes your life," she continued. "I don?t care about partying anymore. I haven?t had a drink in, like, a year! Well, not that long, but I don?t think about that stuff anymore. It?s just about family and my business really."

And Snooki's fiance, Jionni LaValle, vouches for her lifestyle change, saying, "she's an unbelievable mother."

"She?s obsessed with him, I'm obsessed ... it?s two months already. It?s crazy," LaValle told HuffPost Celebrity. "It?s a lot of fun, but we?re both very tired. We?re always up taking turns, who?s sleeping, who?s feeding ... but it?s what you got to do."

Although they're not sure whom Lorenzo takes after in the personality department, LaValle knows one thing for certain: "He looks just like Nicole. I mean to the T. It?s crazy."

The happy family is looking forward to being together during the holiday season and already had a great time on Halloween.

"Halloween was canceled because of Sandy, so we just dressed up," Snooki explained. "We just put the costumes on and took a picture so we had a memory and we're going to tell Lorenzo there was a hurricane and you didn't have a first Halloween."

"We were superheroes," LaValle added. "He was Superman, I was Captain America and she was Wonder Woman."

As for Thanksgiving and Christmas, Snooki revealed they're going to spend the holidays in Jersey with LaValle's family.

"It?s a first for everything," LaValle gushed. "Christmas, we can?t wait for, Halloween we couldn?t wait to dress him up. It?s just you can?t wait for everything to come up with him. Now it?s, 'When is he going to walk? When is he going to talk?,' We?re excited."

Snooki and Jionni plan on tying the knot in "a year, a year and a half."

Normal Biology: Neglected Collections

After my college graduation last May, I've been using my free time to go back through the bug collections I did while still an undergraduate. I had a lot of material left over--both dry specimens and ethanol specimens, along with photographs and lists to organize. I never quite had the time to do it while taking classes (or at least, that's what I tell myself), so I'm very glad I can take care of it now.

I've had this blog post about respecting your specimens gnawing at me since I read it during the summer, and felt a bit guilty. I had some pretty crappy labels with my specimens, or even worse, no labels at all! For some, I could remember exactly where I was standing when I collected them, so it wasn't a huge problem. But for others...well, those just had to be thrown out as useless.

Some of my specimens were new to the collection and represented unique information, so I wanted to make sure they were properly labeled and taken care of. With that mission in mind, I've devoted myself over the past month to slogging through my material that's been languishing for months (in a few cases, years). And now, I'm beginning to see results!

This box only has six empty spots now.

I've prepared labels for 90 specimens and put many of them under the microscope to identify them as close to species level as I could. This was difficult for a number of them, especially the centipedes, due to lack of practice by me and the lack of recent references, but it's been a fun challenge. I've also found some interesting animals (such as the centipede Theatops, the subject of my previous blog post) and experienced some great memories. Most of my millipedes were collected for a Field Techniques class with the help of two good friends, who spent their evening sampling through leaf litter with me. A scorpion was collected during a summer class in the New Mexican desert, where I learned about arthropod UV fluorescence for the first time.

Now I'm at the point where I can do something with all my collected specimens. Some of what I'm working on includes:

  • A guide to Ohio centipedes, which will be accessible online and will have pictures of certain identification characteristics to make up for the paucity of reference material online.
  • A publication of my assassin bug research
  • A publication/guide of local millipede species

It's exciting to put together what I've been working on for the past few years, and to find new projects. I'm hopeful that what I'm doing will be useful for others interested in these groups in Ohio. There definitely hasn't been much done with centipedes and millipedes, which is a barrier to anyone wanting to learn more about them or do their own research, so maybe this can be a springboard for future studies.

My to-do list: keeping me going. That "hola" has been there for a while, so I couldn't bring myself to erase it.
