Website Review: Downelink

Downelink
this is an online social networking site for the LGBT community and even straights, too! Like any other networking sites, people can look, browse and find friends here. With the use of the site's search filter you can narrow down your searches based on your preferences. There are a lots of types of people here for the rainbow family, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders or even straights but you can digg up and investigate their stories or unravel their dark backgrounds, hehehe... there is also a community where members can discuss any topics that they want to talk about and even a chat room where one can see a prospect hmm or shall i say a potential date on a cosy restaurant or even in the dark shadowy room. Its a friendly site and LGBT answer to Facebook. I gave the site 3 and a half star. *** ^

Website Review: Neopets

Neopets


This classic online pet games (it originates from its predecessor, Japan's Tamaguchi) is a hit for kids ages 6-11 and even young at heart or people of all ages sick of role playing games can divert their attention to these virtual pets who were desperately seeking attention from loving and caring owners. They can be feed, taught, put to sleep, and even bring to discover and travel places and even fight with other pets for top prizes in battle dome. However, to earn neopoints or neocash to purchase items for and and by your pets, you need to play games and discover places because there are hidden treasure behind. Worth your time and effort if you are to train to own a real pet in the future. I give three stars. ***

What is the other free online converter for videos into different format?

aside from vixy who convert youtube videos, I want to know what other online converter that are free to use to convert videos from other video streaming site into different format..

I recommend this leawo free flv converter, with which you can convert flv files to all kinds of video formats including AVI, wmv, mpeg, MP4, mp3, etc,
http://snipr.com/flv-converter/


Try EasyMovieConverter.com . Once you tried it, you won't want to bother with vixy.net again.

1. Grab the link/website address to the Youtube video to convert.
2. Go to http://www.EasyMovieConverter.com and enter the url on the text box on the main page.
3. Choose the type to convert it to.
4. Hit the download button. When it is converted, a button to proceed to the download page appears.
5. Download it, and enjoy.

Have you tried media converter? I'm not entirely sure what the site is, but maybe mediaconverter.com... you'd have to confirm that. I use it fairly often- I have it bookmarked which is why don't know the address- and it's been fairly reliable. You don't have to create an account, which I really like, and you don't have to download any software, which is also great. The only bad thing about it is that it has a fairly restricted maximum size you can convert without paying, so depending on what you're converting to, it might not always work. It's always worked for me for online video to mp3.

Hope that helps you :D

How does single parents raise their children?

I wonder if single parents can still pamper themselves, enjoy the things they want to do, do their favorite hobbies/ activities, travel around the world and other things even if they have kids to raise.


One single parent with one child, that’s a family. In society, just about everything is blamed on single parents and broken homes, and it’s really sad because it’s just not true. The most important thing is not the number of parents in the home, but the parenting. We always ask people, ‘Don’t you know single parents who have raised great kids?’ So instead of thinking, “We are a broken home,” say, “We are a single-parent home”— it’s just a different kind of family. I think a lot of being a successful single parent lies in your perception. By that, I mean single parents often think it’s more difficult for them. It’s so easy to think the grass is greener on the other side, and yet when you have a two-parent family, your spouse might not be that supportive: There’s usually one parent that prefers to be more strict and one that’s more lenient, and then they fight about who is right. A big part of changing your perceptions about single parenthood is if you see your situation differently. Try to see your family’s situation as an opportunity rather than a negative. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there aren’t any difficulties in being a single mom or dad, but there are advantages to keep in mind as well.


I think you can still enjoy yourself as a single parent, but no parent can travel around the world, with my first daughter i was a single mum for the first 5 years, and my mum would look after her about twice a month and i would go out with the girls let my hair down, but theres still that responsibility that i know i can't get completly drunk as i'll have to wake up at 6am the next morning. With a hubby its alot easier he'll take the girls away to the park on a saturday morning and i can have the morning to myself to get away from things, do a bit of shopping and things.


Personally, I wouldn't wish is upon my worst enemy. Even with a husband at home it can be hard, especially those long lonely nights up with breast or bottle feeding and a sick or grumpy child. The financial side if you were a single parent I imagine would be a huge challenge.
I have a couple of friends doing it alone, and they don't really get much time for themselves - they do find time, but it is not easy - having support from other family members would be crucial or a huge help in that situation.
It depends on the person, I guess some single parents handle it all really well, and others just fall apart.
If it is a situation where you need to get away from a bad relationship with the father, then I would leave and bring the child up on your own.

But if you just want a child for the sake of having a child - then I would not recommend it at all.


One of my friends is a single mum. She lives at home with her parents and while it's not at all easy, she works at her job and school and does what she can for her daughter. The father does help out a lot though. From what I hear, he's a great father, but he and my friend just didn't work out.

Babysitters, daycare, family... they help out. And they can still do things, but they are limited. Any couple with child(ren) are limited. I don't even know a married couple with small children that travel the world or anything like that.

Children are a blessing, but a major responsibility. You've got to sacrifice the life you could have had, in order to truly enjoy the life you are blessed to live with your child.


single parents do everything in the same way conventional parents do yes they still get to pamper themselves sometimes its nice to include the kids in it too tonight me and my 13 year old daughter are having a pamper night baths nails pizza a movie lots of unhealthy food and a night of loving ourselves we also go to the hairdressers together and my 8 year old and we enjoy each others company we travel we recently went to paris you cant be selfish travelling alone but then i find even 2 parent families don't travel alone i love being a single parent


I am 23 have a 2 1/2 year old & have another on the way, I am single. I work 8 am to 5 pm 5-6 days a week. My hair, finger & toe nails are always done. I go to the gym 2-3 time a week. Go on vacations. I pamper my daughter as well. My daughter is happy. I am happy. yes single parents can pamper themselves. they just need to learn how to do it with a baby on your arm


No one with kids travels around the world, unless they have great kids and extreme patience and tolerance. And of course a single parent can still pamper themselves and enjoy the things they want to and do their favorite activities. Its called daycare. Or a babysitter.


I don't know about travel because of financial reasons but the rest yeah. Eventually. But the hardest job is raising the kids as the role of both mom and dad.

Weird Goods and Services Sold At eBay

For a my few months stay and work as a customer service representative for eBay USA never would I imagine that I could encounter such goods and services being sold by Americans online that they were so gross, weird and horrible and I could think it is out of desperation? Gosh... are they really starving and begging for a penny that otherwise we think, powerful and rich? I encountered some of the following items as I work as community watchdog for violators and those law abiding eBayers:



Paris Hilton tears - at the time Paris was controversial for DUI. Driving under the Influence and was brought for trial. The most controversial thing is when she cried at the court room. I cant imagine someone is catching tear drops of this woman with a bottle in the court room.. plain hilarity over the unfated life's twist and turn of this heiress.


soul - i encounter a few people selling their soul when they die. Common sense, how can you earn money when you die and how can you feel your earning when you're already a ghost?



stinky socks - someone sold a stinky socks that even a rat could not even bear to stay close to. His purpose is that the sock is a repellant for all insects and disturbing rodents and unwelcome guests or visitors towards your house.. How desperate and how insane?

What is the best solution for paranoia?

It seems that there are several paranoid people here in the Philippines due to desperate situation and conditions of people and lots of poor has been taken advantage and exploited by the wealthy and they act as if they are paranoid as well to protect their wealth and taken advantage of these poor and usually illiterate people.


For paranoia it is actually a difficult thing to deal with in my opinion. My fiance has paranoia and schizophrenia but that is a different story.

I have found the best way to help someone with paranoia is to keep reassuring that person your not going to do them harm. Though they are not going to warm up to you right away, show them in your own way that your not going to hurt them, take advantage of them, or put them in harms way.

Reassurance is the best way to help someone who acts paranoid.


that doesnt sound paranoid.. it sounds realistic...
There are things that a government must do to free its people , along with the right attitude and responsiblities to make people feel safe, free, and moving forward, etc....
Here is a resource for the feelings

Does blogger allows publishing of ads from third party ad publisher other than AdSense?

YES -- all you have to do is to insert the code in a different spot from your Adsense ads. Or you can use an ad server and serve Adsense + other ads

As long as the ads you choose to run alongside Adsense do not mimic the look and feel of Adsense. Commission Junction http://www.cj.com and Linkshare http://www.linkshare.com both have lot of advertisers that you can run with Adsense

Read Adsense Program Policies https://www.google.com/adsense/support/b…

------------------------------
Competitive Ads and Services
In order to prevent user confusion, publishers may not display Google ads or search boxes on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colours as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure that these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.



No.

Only Google's AdSense program is integrated into your Blogger account. Blogger will also need access to your Adsense account so that they can add the appropriate code to your blooger account and templates and template tools.

You do get to keep 100% of any income made from your Adsense account with your Blogger blog.



of course yes, you need to add code to the blogger,

very easy , you will get the option to add code from where you will get the option to add adsense.

( tried all of them , only adsense makes money or to some extent adbrite, rest all proved to be cheap scams so far.

Yes, blogger allow publishing third party ads others than adsense. I use Kontera, Bidvertiser and adbrite at my blogger blog too

Answers To Common Problems and Situations

By my next entry, I will include some practical tips and seemingly clever questions and their answers by some people. It can be an advice, solution or suggestions and recommendations by individuals all over the world so nothing is conclusive.

How To Open Your Third Eye

This is one way of opening your third eye. I got this from one of the online forums which I'm a member before. If your curiosity grows and won't make you at peace with your senses and brave enough to be haunted by the ghosts then be ready to expose your sixth sense and see dead people.

Anywhere you go there is a mushi (also known as "ghost" ). go in front of a mirror. Turn off all the lights except a candle in your place so that you can still see yourself. Then close your eyes and put your hands on the mirror and be sure that your entire hands feel the mirror. Then listen carefully to the sound at your back. After 5-7 minutes, someone will whisper your name. After hearing your name, whisper back so-u-nen-ba-ti, 5 times. After that you can slowly open your eyes but make sure before you whisper so-u-nen-ba-ti, you already hear someone whispering some ghostly sound. After you open your eyes the ghost should be at your left shoulder, looking at you intently and is white skinned. If what you see is a black skinned mushi watching over your right shoulder.. be ready.. It won't harm you but be ready to be haunted. You can't sleep :) because you will be frequented by the mushi.. 100% effective. If you see a black mushi, it means your sixth sense or third eye is now open and you will always see the mushi.

Website Review : Craigslist

Craigslist


this is one of the coolest and friendly ad posting site that caters to people looking and searching just for anything. Though it is a simple site for posting ads, you can upload pictures and the ads messages or characters are unlimited. There are restrictions like contact numbers are prohibited but email address is allowed. I gave it three stars. ***

Website Review : eBAY

eBAY

this auction site is a haven for small business-minded individuals who were fond of garage sales and who likes selling surplus good and those individuals who have something to sell. They have the options to either bid or directly sell their items in retail or whole sales. Most of the products were surplus though some are brand new. Products and even services up for bids ranges from clothes and toys to travel destinations to fortune telling services. This site is friendly both for sellers and buyers. With its user-friendly interface and Live Chat support agents ready to assist people, bidding and selling has become enjoying and entertaining transactions to earn money. I gave four stars.. ****

Luzon, Philippines Trauma Over Storms and Flooding

The morning of September 27 wakes the people of Luzon provinces & cities in northern Philippines to a terrifying overflow of floodwater & mud due to a heavy storm that ravages the entirety of the islands. The locally named tropical storm "Ondoy" brings a torrential amount of rain andstrong windlashes all places it passes through left several dead bodies and close to a million families affected. What's painful is that a week after a storm left the country and the people has not fully recovered, another strong storm is impending to landfall and may directly hit populated places. Fortunately, the storm changes direction northward to Japan asit gathers strength however, due to its enormous power it pulls back to the country the storm that had left the country causing a worse deluge. Two weeks after the storm left, flood waters has not fully drained and stranded in several provinces and much more, dam overflowing caused some areas to have gauged a high water level and people are no longer safe to live in these areas. Another strong enraging storm is constantly moving in northwest direction towards the Philippines which will cause a mass hysteria due to the trauma brought by the previous storms. This is the first time for Luzon to experience such pandemonium that it caused widespread catastrophe that will take years to recover. The only consolation for this is the unwavering support and an unending downpour of help from the government, private sector, companies & corporations, media outfits, international organizations and even global community extended to the affected families and also their houses and infrastructure that still stands are strong enough to last and endure the test of nature and still inhabitable. Its not that difficult for them to recover fast from the natural phenomenon because of the shining example of unity and solidarity.

This disaster serves us a reminder thatwe should take seriously the reforestation of our mountains that shields us from the tumultous, massive flooding and also alter the adverse effect of global warming. Global warming is to be blamed for the unusual increasing volume of precipitation or rainfall during the rainy season and the worse droughts and intense heat during summer. The country is still ill-prepared for natural phenomenon with laxes in preparations and contingency plans, lack of several facilities & equipment and lack of support and help for Visayas and Mindanao alone when calamities hit these areas. Do we need to sacrifice lives in these places to awaken their senses? When will we have the will to act and do the necessary when it is happening? Lucky Luzon they have all the support and help needed but poor and hapless Mindanao, due to lack of exposure in the news, will be taken for granted and take years for help to come. In these trying times, we should join hands in facing the anger of nature because it is our fault, we never learned, otherwise, it could not be that worse. This is to call the attention ofall that amidst the tragedy, it left us with a big lesson and reminder and its up to us to learn and do the task or play deaf and just ignore.

Website Review: Faceparty

Faceparty

This dating site which originated from UK is both a social networking and dating site. It is good in terms of members and the chat room are nice and entertaining with its animated graphics but recently loses its coolness when the site deleted the accounts of several inactive members. It has nice user interface, user-friendly but the uploading of pictures takes time. Browsing member is nice as well considering their refine search. Not bad though. I gave the site three stars... ***
