Style on with cool frames!

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 14:05:00 -0400

The optical power in my right eye since 5th grade has been -4.5. So yes, I am one of those kids in school with thick glasses. Of course, as i entered teenage, i was not at all comfortable with the ‘nerd’ tag that came with wearing glasses. So wearing stylish and safe eyewear became an obsession with me. Contact lenses come with their share of problems of maintenance and infection, so, glasses are my preferred choice. Zenni Opticals has brought so many variations of the lens as well as glasses frames that glasses can be pulled off as a style statement these days! My style god in glasses is the irressistable Jhonny depp. So poor vision? Good for you that now you can purchase the best looking pair of prescription eyeglasses direct from Zenni Opticals only at the price of $6.95 (previously $8!) by sitting at the comfort of your home and have them delivered to your door step and from the very next after you get it, its style on.

Ask me the best part of wearing stylish eyeglasses. I, being an active bird watcher would say the best way to put them to use is to wear your best pair of colorful eyeglasses while you step out for Bird Watching!

Shop Smarter

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 13:35:25 -0400

The other day my sister said she needed to do heavy grocery shopping. Then she left home at about 11AM and guess what, she returned home with loads of groceries at about 4PM, without having lunch and the top of it, the grocery bill sky rocketed and she paid every penny from her purse. I was frustrated and being the humble yet advising sibling, I wanted to give her some sound tips of using coupons at the grocery store. I being the “hooked to Internet person” always used to search for coupons before I would shop online because money is a hard thing to come by these days and spending them like water for grocery is a bit too much. The search started and after 2 hours I stumbled at the Grocery game, a website dedicated 100% to providing consumers with grocery coupons and offers in the form of Printable coupons so that they can just print the coupons out and use them at the stores. The only difference that is different between the online coupon codes and the grocery game coupon codes is that the grocery coupons are printed before being used and the online coupons are never printed. But coupons are coupons and thus, the next grocery shopping of my sister’s was accompanied by me and we ended up saving some good amount of cash in hand and were all smiles on leaving the grocery store, fully loaded yet smartly shopped.

Getting your own Website

Sat, 18 Dec 2010 01:31:24 -0500

Yes, that is pretty easy with the registrar companies offering high discounts and offers in domain names which are the first step in building websites. But before you take the plunge, here are some tips to get you through your purchase of a domain name:

Use common sense when choosing a domain name because your domain name, or URL, can have an impact in both the online and offline marketing of your web-site. Long or difficult to spell domain names can make people ignore your web site and it has to be pretty good for them to stick with it. Short domain names register better with people’s memory and are easy to remember.
Obtain a domain name that will help you in your marketing niche and strategy. Like I stated before, you can use your business name as your URL. If your business name is already taken by someone else then get a URL name close to what you are doing. Purchasing a business name domain name isn’t the only way to go, and when a keyword domain name could do just fine.
Use tools that will help you to find available domains of your preference. A domain availability check tool will always help you.
Keep it Short & Memorable – Don’t get a URL that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet.

Remember, your domain name is an extension of your business and your brand of product or service. You will understand why i have the word birds on my domain name, because I blog about birds here.

Talk about Cats!

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 09:31:40 -0500

All the while I have been used to talk about Birds and more Birds wherever I go and to whomever I meet. Birds always have fascinated me about how they look to the minutest detail on what they do all around the year. So, when one such talk was happening with a stranger last week, she interrupted me right in the middle of the talk and asked me a strange question. It was “If not birds, which other species of animals would you have been interested in?”. Now that really got me more interested because Birds always have been my first love as pets and apart from the large number of birds that I have in my house, I also have one cute little pet cat in my house. She runs around my house all through the night and sleeps all through the day. Sometimes things do seem ugly when I wake up in the morning and I catch her silently sipping something in the kitchen.

Talking about cats in general, cats give a good companionship and as shown in many pictures they are not at all used for hunting mice and rodent. There are a lot of breeds available, from the traditional alley cat to the well known Siamese. As far as my pet is concerned, she is a Siamese cat and taking care of her is a real challenge in itself, given the history of where Siamese cats have been nurtured in. In general, it is said that Siamese cats demand a lot of attention, because in their minds, they believe that the world revolves around them. For this very reason, they can tend be quite dependent on their owners.

Here is a cute little picture of a Siamese cat that I adored watching.

They love to play, and crave interaction. If you leave them alone for too long, they won’t like it. They like to get attention, love to play, and hate to be left by themselves.

Attracting Birds to your Garden

Sun, 31 Oct 2010 14:21:22 -0400

Firstly, birds will be attracted by the geographic location of your garden. To find out which birds are at the moment in the geographic area, you will have to consult the specialty magazines and documentations. Maybe even the whether guy can provide some information regarding this aspect although this is not always true. Libraries and book stores have books based on migration, on the roads that some bird species take to get to their summer or winter residence. Also, taking pictures of bird you see around you and confronting them with informative materials that you already have or searching for information related to them can be an option to find out if these bird are going to make a stop in the area you live in. Birds need water. This is highly important. A bath or a pool, no matter the size or the material, would instantly attract many bird families, even wild ducks and gooses. If you could also arrange a place where they could find some food, bird seeds, bread or anything else they might like, that would increase the chances they made an escapade in your garden. You can try, for instance with corn. Seeds of any type also hold an answer to the question related to attracting birds towards your garden. The seeds that almost all birds prefer are sun-flower seeds, extremely easy to find, and cheep also. Anyway, before buying the seeds, you should make a list with all the birds that are in the area and with every bird’s food preferences to assure you can provide food for many types of birds present. These are the first steps that you have to make to attract birds in your garden. The second step is keeping away from the garden all the things that might scare or disturb birds. Animals from the next garden, neighbor’s dogs can scare the birds. Try and ask the neighbors to keep the dogs chained or in the house, because they are mostly scared by dogs. Also, you must know that some birds do not agree with each other, so that a certain species might avoid your garden because there is another species in it. Some can also stay away because of the fact you have children and the noise is too loud, and others can stay away because the place doesn’t look natural enough. So, knowing their nature and customs can be a decisive factor in bringing them in our backyard.

Evey business is going online now thanks to the technological revolution of the 21st century and people’s increasing use and familiarity that has lead to using Internet as a tool to find all they require. web site hosting is of course an important aspect of going online.

But, business should look at E-commerce web hosting rather than just the normal web hosting because of the presence of certain features as shopping cart and most importantly, enables 24hr customer service. Post sales service/ customer support is of course is a given with product in this era of consumerism.

In terms of simplifying navigation through the website as well as improving the consumer experience in the on-line store, e-commerce web hosts provide a definite edge. So if you own a business, first of all, being on-line is absolutely imperative. Using an E-commerce web host would be the next step.

There are a host of options for E-commerce web hosting that you can decide on based on your budget and business requirements. As for my birds, pretty lean season it seems. None seem to be around! Probably because of the BP oil-slick. All the birds are running for cover. What reckless behaviour by an organization of that size. Truly disheartening!

Birds and Internet Marketing!

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 03:06:00 -0400

The BP oil-rig accident is shocking and its enraging to watch the visible damage being caused to lady nature. Especially to pelicans and aquatic species. It breaks my heart honestly to see pictures of crude oil soaked innocent birds. But, I don’t see the media making a fuss about it. Why? Oh wait a minute. Birds cant pay and bird enthusiast are not exactly money spinners. Makes me wonder if like minded people like me should employ the services of an seo company and such. After all, if a presidential election could be won on the strength of internet marketing, maybe justice can be too. At the moment, I can only hope so!

Howard Miller Clocks

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 02:51:00 -0400

There is something absolutely nostalgia invoking about grandfather clocks. Much like bird watching itself! These operate at a subconscious level invoking memories of childhood past. As children we spend much of our time outdoors in union with nature. Birds are part of the background. We watch them as our pets chase them around or simply, in admiration. Every kid wants to be able to soar like the bird. One of the greatest fascinations during childhood is flight. Similarly it is with grandfather clocks. The deep gonging sound and the austere presence fill us with awe as children. Of course howard miller grandfather clocks are a famous association when it comes to grandfather clocks. Childhood Ah!

Birds and bets

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:42:52 -0400

There have been many days when I have patiently waited gaze at the sky for the glimpse of the rarest of birds. During the gazes, I happen to wander away in thoughts in to some other dimension of the universe. On one such occasion, I imagined what will it be like if there are birds in the moon. This could be ridiculous but the fact lies that there will be no air for the birds to be obstructed and they will be able to fly like in a vacuum. This would effortlessly increase the lifespan of these minute creatures cause of lesser efforts being applied on the flight.

The other most interesting thought that came across the mind during one of the earlier gazes is the relationship between birds and betting. The birds as well as betting have a similar relation with respect to a bird watcher like me. The relation goes about that even watching birds is unconditional and so are sport bets. This weird link again came in during one of the gazes. The interesting fact is that both involves money. We invest money in reaching a spot for the bird watching activity and hope that the birds show up. Similarly we invest money on a particular team and hope that the team or individual wins the game.

Cats are to be taken care

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:08:00 -0400

Cats are a bunch of felines and felids which are small domesticated carnivorous animals. These animals prove to be one of the best of the domestic animals that man has ever come to know about. The cats are always considered as dreaded animal if they would not know much about the animal. They are really loving and caring towards the master. This makes them a highly preferred pet animal in many countries. The most important thing lies in understanding the cats like we try to understand the humans. These animals also communicate to us in various ways that would make them a lovable being. The interesting fact about cats that I would like to clarify here is that about the nine lives of cats. Many people have the popular misconception that cats actually have nine lives. The truth is that they actually don’t live for nine lies or something. They have extremely agile and strong legs that would help them jump and land from heights that are unimaginable even for humans. This quality of them actually makes them live longer rather than falling off and breaking the bones. This is why the reference to nine lives has come into existence. The term is used to refer to the long life of the animals. The important aspect in having the cats as pets is in taking care of these cats. The cats are extremely sensitive animals and are in need of care. One should know the correct nuances of taking care of cats.
