I like Zookoda, allow me to elaborate.

Zookoda makes things super simple, and by simple I mean a kid could do this. Head over to Zookoda.com to follow along.

You just sign up, and enter the pertinent information for your blog. Let zookoda know when and how often to send a newsletter comprised of your rss/atom feeds to your subscribers. Readers subscribe via a little registration box made fo code zookoda supplies to you. Easy right?

Its quite apparent that sending blog summaries to your readers will boost your site traffic. It reminds your readers that your blog is active and shows them what current content looks like.

I thought I would need to make a second account for a different blog, but I was wrong! Zookoda allows me to have multiple blogs and contains settings for each blog I add. Did I mention Zookoda is free? Yeah, its free and it works!

I am boggled by the length of time it took to get a service liek this to the blogging community, but now that its here I cant imagine not having it. I am pleased I have a way to reach my readers, especially those that may not understand how to use a rss aggregator. Now I can send them my posts at regular intervals. This is email marketing simplified!

Are you getting calls from a lot of different telemarketers and tired of it?  Here’s your solution! Simply register online at the do not call Registry. business phones, home phones, and  even cell phones can register to do not call Registry. You will still get some calls.  It takes about 30 days for it to take effect.  If you get anybody call during that period, write on a pad who called inform them that you are on do not call Registry, and you’ll find that they get off the phone rather quickly.  Give this log to your phone company when you send in your phone bill.  This is effective way of dealing with the solicitors,  tell your phone company that you told the callers that you are in the do not call Registry and they’ve been alerted to that. in about 30 days,  you will know the peace of no telemarketers.

Will putting batteries in a refrigerator increase in life expectancy? The answer is yes, but it depends on the type of battery were talking about.  For example, alkaline batteries storing in refrigerator will extend the life by little less than 5%.  However, if you store them at room temperature.  It will retain about 90% of their power.  You can’t use cold batteries, that is right away, they have to return room temperature, so it’s like storing alkaline batteries in refrigerator doesn’t make sense for example, if you need them.  But if there’s a power failure and you want to put them in your flash light it right away it would render them unusable

However, for nickel cadmium batteries refrigerating them is far more useful, when you store a nickel cadmium battery at room temperature and they lose their charge after just a few days.  However refrigerated they retain 90% of their charge

Theres  a bunch a things we can do as individuals that when examined on a broader scale will make a definate dent in the global warming issue. Unplugging electronics that are not being used, will save electricity.  I encourage everyone to get energy efficient lightbulbs. Another method to this would be to change your current appliances to energystar appliances.

A dramatic change might be to use propane in place of electricity wherever possible. And yet another instance would be to  install rooftop solar panels. Motion detectors  to monitor the lights would be a further conservation.Only use climate controls when you must and find other ways to keep cool/warm.

As a society we should be looking into furthering the development of alternative energy, like wind, and solar power. Improving our battery technology would be a boon to saving power as well.

I used to be really afraid of flying. Days before a trip I would get so stressed i would be sick, and i would stay sick.
I had to get meds from my doctor just so i could calm down some.

Over time i did get over my phobia. Now i can fall asleep during takeoff. Heres my strategy:

Try to sit in view of the attendants. This is routine for them, and they done it a million times, its just another day to them, and perhaps you will find that comforting.

If you cant feel the vibrations of the aircraft, it makes the flight seem a bit less real, and you can imagine you are simply in a a movie theatre. Try putting your feet on your luggage, or use the bar from chair in front of you.

Its a blessing when the pilots announce prior to trubalence that the chance is likely that the plane will see some. Its nice to be prepared, and its nice ot know that the pilots are prepared as well.

Bring a book, or a crossward  puzzle.  Anything that can hold your attention and  shift your focus. A good magazine is excellent.
In  the end, after you do this enough, it will become a second nature to you, and you will find yourself increasingly more comfortable with air travel.

The first important step is to choose the stain, or perhaps not to stain at all. If you have a “pure” type of wood such as cherry, or oak, perhaps mahogany, it might be that you  choose to pass on the stain. Bear in mind that sealing the wood will significantly darken it. Staining isnt mandatory, its just customary, and is based on the human need to color code things, such as matching the wood of furniture.

Assmuning you want to stain anyways, choose the type of stain. It may be applied by using a cloth or a brush, either way is efficient. The beauty of using a cloth is that it eliminates a need to clean the brush. If you want a lighter color than the stain is providing then simply wipe some off with a second cloth. On the other hand if you want a darker color simply apply a second coat, after the first has dried.

The next part of the process would be to seal the wood. Stain ends up looking blah, sealer rescues it by providing a nice shine along with protecting the wood.  Be sure to stick with the level of sheen you choose in your sealer, “satin” is highly shiny, whereas semi-gloss is only mildly so. If you  put one coat of polyurethane after 2 coats of varnish… well it will be a tragic mess.

Use Knowledge to Overcome Violence…study  the situation at hand and look for a  peaceful  solution. Violence stems from wanting  to recover what a person believes was taken. Maybe this was valuables, property, pride, etc—violence is only a short term fix to try to recover these lost items and calm, enlightened methods to repair yourself give the best results.

Use Understanding to Overcome Anger…stop, listen and understand and comprehend what the anger is saying. Rage  is frustration and when its not heeded it becomes more loud. Many times anger can be reduced drastically when given a calm audience. You dont have to agree with the thought of the argument to be supportive to the person behind it.

Use Love to Overcome Hate…hate is cancerous. Every person has qualities that are wonderful and some that are less than so. Demonstrating love slows down the chance you will get hate in return.  Hating the hate breeds more hate, but answering hate with love weakens the hate..

Up until recently I would make jokes regarding “extra virgin olive oil” . Yeah, insert numerous jokes here.

Out of curiosity i looked it up. I thought i owuld hare what i learned.

Extra Virgin olive oil is the oil that comes from the original pressing of the olives. As a result, it is nearly perfect, next ot no impurities, nearly zero processing. No other methods were used to obtain the oil, no heat, etc, just pressing.

Odd, yet fascinating

Encourage him to read books that will open his heart, and free his mind. Noone does that anymore, noone  has an open mind, it seems to be presumed archaic. If you learn about many cultures, its more like you will be accepting of them. From Homer to Shakespeare to Dahl, minds have been shaped that have improved civilization.

  Encourage the development of imagination, if he can visualize the change, if he can imagine the strength in him, than he can make the change occur. He will imagine the answers. All books have authors, and every author has a lesson to teach.

Dont keep him from the negative, the heartaches. These are important for growth too.  Trial and error is a great educator, but some lessons are painful. Any knowledge can be used to benefit society, avoid over protecting him.

One of the best lessons an entreprenuer can demonstrate is dedication, dedication couple with hard work is a very potent combination. Entreprenuers by and large have a desire to achieve, and they will, because they will not be told otherwise. They push and struggle to overcome problems, and through that work create a successful business.

Most are overachievers and workaholics. Many will take charge of a business and live with it night and day until its standing on its own, they have almost a paternal quality in this manner. They are held by themselves to be fully responsible for anything they assume within the venture, including that entity as well. Many work not for money, but for respect, or title.

 Entrepreneurs tend to be optimistic, pessimism is generally not found  in this breed. they belive that they can make the impossible possible. This breed leans towards excellence and strive to outdo themselves. Organization skills are second nature, some tend to have a vast social network they can tap.

The bottom line is profit, perhaps not a liquid one, but one with which to measure the success of their efforts.
