Go Ahead - Judge a Podcast by its Cover
Yodio Gives Online Users the Ability to Visually Personalize Podcasts

SEATTLE, May 5, 2008 – Yodio introduces podcasters the unique ability to
visually wrap podcasts. Much like an album cover, users can create cover
photos, producing a complete and total podcasting experience, resulting in
podcasts with the ultimate finishing touch. Using any image, photo or
piece of art, users can upload an MP3 recording and attach a full size (up
to a 10 MB) digital photo.

A survey by Storm/Universal McCann reports that 32 percent of respondents
increased their podcast use in the past six months.” Invisible podcasts
are ignored podcasts. Yodio allows online users to elevate podcasts to a
visually rich, personalized online medium. This new visual element
heightens the purpose of any blog or online community-to clearly convey
information to fellow online users.

This free service exclusively from Yodio allows users to embed a Yodio
player into any blog – but unlike other current methods, Yodio offers a
complete and visual package to fully encase the audio podcast. For
podcasters who want to go beyond the cover photo, Yodio can be used to
create illustrated podcasts using multiple JPEG photos or graphics to
attach a graphic to individual audio sections.

“Every picture needs a story; a photo plus audio creates a compelling
story,” comments former Corbis CEO and current ZoomAlbum CEO Doug Rowan.
“Photographs by themselves don’t really tell the stories. You need people
to tell the stories. Yodio is delivering on this need.”

To embed a Yodio player or learn more about Yodio, visit www.yodio.com.

Life is shorter for some

Watch the man on the left walking, crossing the road where there is no car. It is so definite that the coast on the left is clear, and safe to cross. Any person would see it is safe....

Take nothing for granted, not even for a split second!

Be grateful for every living minute.

We seem to take life for granted.... but Tomorrow is Not Promised...

Relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ..

Allow God to be the only person on your mind while you

read this prayer. If we can take the time to read long jokes,

stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer.

Friends, who pray together, stay together.

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day.

I thank You for my being able to see

and to hear this morning. I'm b lessed

because You are a forgiving God and

an understanding God. You have done

so much for me and You keep on

blessing me. Forgive me this day for

everything I have done, said or thought

that was not pleasing to you. I ask now

for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude

and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best

of each and every day to clear my mind so that

I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have

no control over. Let me continue to see sin through

God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I

sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my

wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.

And when this world closes in on me, let me

remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find

a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when

I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when

I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to

use me to do Your will.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to

others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak.

Keep me uplifted that I may have words of

encouragement for others. I pray for those who are

lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who

are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those

who don't know You intimately. I pray for those

who will delete this without sharing it w with

others. I pray for those who don't believe. I thank

you that I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes

things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For

each and every family member in their households.

I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they

are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is

no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than

God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.

I pray that these words be received into the hearts of

every eye that sees them and every mouth that

confesses them willingly..

This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Bad Advertiser at PPP Blacklisted!

Today, I received 3 emails from PPP requesting me to remove the 3 paid posts I posted on my 3 blogs due to the advertiser's questionable transaction to PPP. I wouldn't be dropping names but I have to state the reason why. The advertiser used an unauthorized credit card in paying the ads to PPP but I guess PPP discovered the anomalous transactions.
It is just only FAIR to respect and follow PPP's decision to remove my posts on my blogs. Besides, I am with PPP's side, and I wouldn't tolerate this as well. It was so nice of PPP to pay me from their own funds and they believe I did get the ad and posted it in good faith. That's true. I drained my brain just to promote the advertiser's site, only to know at the end it will become useless. The reason why PPP is still willing to pay me. Thanks a lot Pay per Post! Although I meet some glitches at times when grabbing some opps in the marketplace, I STILL LOVE PAYPERPOST!!! :).

To the Advertiser: You messed up the clean and peaceful flow of the blogging industry. Did you ever think of the outcome you've done? You will be banned not only from bloggers, but other paid blogging sites as well. You took the risk...a bad risk! Do you think your site would gain a good reputation for the mess you've done? Bloggers can be dangerous enemies, mind you! I can be one of them, but I won't be doing it. I am just glad I didn't become a member of that site you are promoting. You should be grateful, I didn't reveal your site's name. I hate name dropping, so that ends the issue.

To All Bloggers: If you happen to receive same emails about a blacklisted advertiser, DELETE your posts immediately. Let's unite bloggers!

To PPP: Thanks fo your generosity and consideration.

Best Online Coupon Codes & Shopping Deals

I am an avid shopper online. Actually, I prefer doing it this way because I can get the exact size that I want. I noticed that it is difficult to find my size in stores because I have petite size :). If ever I find one, I don't like the style or I don't feel comfortable with it.
Now, I even discovered a website which offers thousands of internet coupon codes, special bargain offers, and discount promo deals. The site I am referring to is bestonlinecoupons.com. BestOnlineCoupons are free to use and does not need any registration. You don't even have to pay anything just to use their discount coupons. Isn't that great?
This is really a big help for me to get more savings from my shopping (since I shop a lot!) lol. I got curious looking for Sierra Trading Post free shipping coupons because most of the coupons don't have any expirations. These are good deals because aside from free shipping, you can get at least 35-70% off discounts! It's kinda perfect timing because they got two of my favorite online stores where I shop for my clothings. Chadwick's coupon codes is up to 40% off on any items. I am a regular costumer of Chadwick's because of their stylish apparels. And yes, I can guarantee, they offer huge discounts every time you shop with them. Another favorite o mine is Zappos. This is where I shop for my shoes and bags. In fact, I just received my orders this week using Zappos online deals. I got free shipping too! :) Besides, they have fast deliver. I was impressed.
Next time, I want to try Petite Sophisticate coupon codes. I love their sumer tops and tanks, plus prices are really affordable. Another site has been added to my list. And oh, don't forget to bookmark: bestonlinecoupons.com :).

Busy Weekends

Two days more before our travel, so I had many of the tasks mostly accomplished as I expected. I got a new haircut! :). Then, I had my driving lessons last Saturday, going to the grocery store, and went to the movie. I completely enjoyed the whole Saturday with my husband. Then, Sunday, we missed church because of our traditional dinner at our mom-mom's house. I was telling my husband, how I wish I could just spend longer days with him. Everytime he goes to work, I would be holding his hands so tight that he can't go off bed. I would tease him like that, and he would say how he wish he could have a longer day off. His vacations are being used for his outside work, so he can't take off. But anyway, as long as we can spend time together during the weekend, that's better than nothing. We are still blessed to have a good time such as that in the weekends.
Now, it's busy Monday for me...have to complete the packing just to avoid panics on Wednesday! :)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is next Sunday, the special day for all the wonderful mothers out there. My husband and I always see to it that every time Mother's Day comes, we celebrate it with our "mom-mom". Actually, we hate to say it, but we won't be around with her on that actual day due to travel schedules. But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate that special day with her. We planned to celebrate it a week after the occasion, but she loves flowers, so we will be sending her some on the actual day. Honestly, my hubby uses 1800flowers.com few times before in sending her flowers. (I received ones too!) Well, I guess it's time to visit them again :).
1800fowers has been in the business for more than 30 years, providing its customers around the world fresh flowers and even some of the finest selections of plants, gift baskets, gourmet food, confections and plush stuffed toys perfect for every occasion. I was able to browse on the carefully selected collections of their mothers day gift baskets and they are beautiful...perfect for our mom-mom. I'm sure she will love it. Some of the selections are orchard-fresh fruit baskets and gourmet snacks, luxurious spa delights and more. There are lots to choose from, and prices are reasonable and affordable too. It's worth it!
Well, really a perfect timing. We can avail of their free shipping offer or no service charge offer as an early buyer. Hhhmmm, why not? So, if you are planning to send your mother one, order today at 1800flowers.com and grab the promo offer. This is only good until May 7, so be sure to visit them today!

Ready, set, stuff!

We all have lots of "stuff". It's often either "stuff to save" or "stuff to throw away".

1. Stuff to Save. - The preferred category for those people who never throw anything away because they may be able to use it again.

Recycle: Milk Cartons
Rinse and save milk cartons in a plastic bag. The next time you're gardening, cut off the bottoms and tops of the cartons and place in the ground around young plants to keep away grubs and cutworms.


2. Stuff to Throw Away. - Fall is the new spring for cleaning, especially if you're hosting Thanksgiving or other holidays.

Tip: Clean the attic
Come with plastic bags and a willingness to discard. Which items are really worth keeping?

Page Rank Come and Goes!

My domain PR went nada...(as in "wala na") on my other blog few weeks ago. I was about to give this subdomain up and shift it to a domain name when suddenly it went up from PR2 to PR 4. Well, I suddenly held up the plan for a moment, lol! Since there are offers coming, that should be better for a while. Just in case Google will de-rank it, it's time to implement the plan...not unless it goes up for more! :).
Currently, I am doing a lot of readings about google page rank. I got hooked on the topics about what happens when PR is de-ranked or some know-how's how to avoid PR deranking. It's tough learning it because it involves a lot of terms much deeper than I undertsand. But it is challenging in some ways...I am learning! I would like to try "trial and error" with the techniques as I read them, and see how it goes. But for now, I need to catch the coming offers before my PR becomes nowhere to be found! :).

You Are Cordially Invited...

Wedding Invitations are just the first part of making couples' wedding day catchy and memorable. They say, they reflect about a couple's personality, and the creativity in them. The theme and the design reflects about the couple's outlook of their love together as they face to go on living a married life.
The Wedgewood Blue Fountain Wedding Invitation caught my eyes. I always love the powder blue color, the reason why I chose it as my wedding motiff when I got married. The theme itself is romantic which is to me, it is attractive and the embossed style makes it more elegant looking. The bride and groom design is I think the most ideal design in every wedding invitation because it speaks for the occasion itself. People who receives this type of invitation would automatically get the exact idea of what the invitation is just at a quick glance. Speaking of further customization, I would like the color of the paper to be a powder blue color as well, matching with the wedding's motiff. The couple's family names outside should be on top instead of the first names, just like Smith-Jones Nuptials :) (example only). Then both the first names will be inside (usually on the first fold if it's a 3 fold invitation). And the paper should be scented! :). Very fancy like, but elegant. So, if you are still looking for sources for your wedding invitation needs, try 1st-class-wedding-invitations.com and check their designs and themes. From there, you can easily customize them the way you like it. Cool, isn't it? You have many ways to do it, or if you prefer the design given on the site, that is still fine. So, make that wedding of yours perfect by getting that perfect design for your wedding invitations. They have very attractive designs and styles, which many couples out there would surely love.

Candles for Home Decor

My husband love scented candles, and actually he loves collecting them :). We have at least various types of scented candles at home, and we use it to drive away bad smokes too.
I've also seen some fancy candles at the stores, but whoa! prices are expensive. Now, it is good to know Esque Candles are here, which are really ideal for home decors as well, besides the fact that prices are much cheaper and affordable compared to branded decorated candles which are expensive. And, yes, I agree, these candles are elegant looking. Might be good to buy some few ones for gift giving. For sure, my hubby would love them. He's a candle collector!...he doesn't only collect scented ones, but unscented as well. So, an addition to his collections would be esque candles! :) Joyous candle is really a good site for candle lovers! I like the products too! :).

Cell Phone - need to know

5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO

(Print and put in your car glove box)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an
emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST ~ Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile
network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile
will search any existing network to establish the emergency
number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be
dialed even if the keypad is locked.
Try it out.

SECOND ~ Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in
handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in
the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home
on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have
the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it
near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance
is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach
someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can
unlock the doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD ~ Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the
keys *3370#.
Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument
will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next
time.

FOURTH ~ How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the
following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is
unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service
provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even if the
thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally
useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know
that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people
stealing mobile phones.

And Finally.... FIFTH ~ Free Directory Service for Cells:
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more
for 411 information calls when they don't have to.
Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our
vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem.
When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial(800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any
charge at all.
Program this into your cell phone now.

Spock.com - A Great Search Engine

Are you wondering how you can find a great helper to find people on the web? Well, here comes Spock.com - A Great Place for Search. Spock is considered to be the first editable search engine for people search on the web. It uses a combination of search engine technologies in which user edits them and make it searchable. You can find all kinds of searchable informations whether it's a long lost friend, celebrities, or any interesting people you would like to search. You can as well search photos, videos, blogs and websites of people. One of the best features of Spock is that it gives you current updates on your people search. That means you can track that person you want to by saving a collection of that person's information so you can easily get quick updates everytime you visit. If you prefer other methods of doing it instead of visiting quite often, you can subscribe for email alerts, RSS feeds, or access their informations through your favorite social network.
Another good feature of Spock is you can create community where users can share more informations about people you commonly share interest with. This is one unique feature of Spock that differs it from typical traditional search. People search requires more than technology as well as human input. Spock search is fun because interesting and other relevant informations about people are being added everyday by many users.
Spock started in the year 2006 by Jay and Jaideep. It has grown impressively and now includes scientists and engineers that belong from top schools such as Princeton, Caltech,Stanford and many others.

In Perspective

This is priceless!


All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap;
it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....
You will be really shocked by the last one!!!!
(At least, I was...)


Compared with Gasoline......
Think a gallon of gas is expensive?


This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.


Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon


Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ..........$9.52 per gallon


Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 …. $10.17 per gallon


Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 ......... $10.00 per gallon


Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 ......... $33.60 per gallon


Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ... $178.13 per gallon


Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 … . $123.20 per gallon


Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 …. . $25.42 per gallon


Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 …. .$84.48 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER...


Evian water 9 oz $1.49..........$21.19 per gallon!
$21.19 for WATER
and the buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap?
So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at................
you won't believe it..................
but it is true........................
$5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)

So, the next time you're at the pump,
be glad your car doesn't run on
water, Scope,Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil
or God forbid, Printer Ink.

Forrest Gump goes to Heaven! :)

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at
the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed,

and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest,
it is certainly good t! o see you We have heard a lot about you. I must
tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard.

Life was a big enough test as it was." St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.

First:
What two days of the week begin with the letter T?

Second:
How many seconds are there in a year?

Third:!
What is God's first name?" Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and

says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers"

Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter "T"?

Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow." The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asked St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?

Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about
that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... "

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question.
Can you tell me God's first name"? "Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."

"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.

"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

“I started by making a few slings to carry my son around the city. People were so interested in the pouches that I started making more to sell locally,” said Sara. “The reception was so phenomenal that my husband and I started our Slinglings website and from there, the business just took off.”


All of Slinglings' pouches are sewn by Seattle-based seamstresses and can be ordered in more than 80 fabrics, some of which were designed by Stephen himself. A line of 12 designer prints, 5 of which are exclusive Slinglings’ designs, was just added to their collection.


Another feature that sets Slinglings apart is its interactive sizing tool. By entering height, weight, bra size, measurements, or any combination of these numbers, Slinglings' advanced sizing calculator recommends a sling size based on the feedback of more than 15,000 previous customers.


“From the beginning, we've collected sizing statistics. We're always adding to our database and it's resulted in an incredibly accurate sizing tool,” said Sara. “It takes the guesswork out of ordering pouches.”


Babywearing, an art practiced for centuries, allows parents to resume their usual activities like walking, socializing, cleaning, and cooking while their babies get the incomparable benefit of close contact with their caregivers.


“Wearing my children has been one of the best parenting choices I've made,” said Sara. “I'm so fortunate to be able to bring that same experience to others.”


Slinglings offers competitive pricing—prices start at $36.95-- and welcomes all wholesale inquiries.

"Will you give this to my daddy?"

The title is an eye catching phrase. I am sure most of you would automatically think before you read the story, that this short phrase is coming from an innocent child longing for her daddy...so much powerful and touches your heart. I am always moved by this kind of story. This message was shared to me by a friend. So, I guess I would have to share it to everybody here as well.

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support "Red Fridays."

Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest
acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our
service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran
up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said "hi."

The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy
for her.

The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself,
said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then
suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the
biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was
Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had
been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her
daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all
of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the
other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They
started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to
Courtney, bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he
told me to give this to you." He then hugged this little girl that he
had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying
"your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and
he is coming home very soon."

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young
soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was
standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.

As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people
resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around,
there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in
one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and
thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's
good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to
be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are
voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

We are not organized , boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal
media coverage on TV to reflect our message or our opinions. Many
Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize
that the vast majority of Americans supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity
and respect starts this Friday and continues each and every Friday
until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that. 'Every
red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear
something red.'

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the
bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troop s know the
once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make
things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.
