Call for Entries: The Manic Mommies Want Your Digital Holiday Card Outtakes
Boston, Ma. (ContentDesk) December 9, 2005 -- Coordinating outfits. Check. Haircut. Check.
Batteries in camera. Check. Tree up. Lights on. Fire in the fireplace.
Children enter stage left. OK, Mom says. Smile pretty. While it seems like an easy task, experienced parents everywhere know that capturing a single photo for the family holiday cardwhere all children are looking perfectly adorableis no simple feat. Across America, parents have likely spent the last few weeks wavering between bribes and threats, jumping up and down, waving silly toys and contorting their own faces in hopes of making little junior smile. The maternal desire to capture the perfect photo of your children at the holidays is quite remarkable, says Kristin Brandt, a writer and producer of the online web log and audio cast Manic Mommies.
When creating my own holiday card, I realized there must be countless parents out there doing the same thing: deleting dozens of photos where one child is walking away from the camera while the other one has her eyes closed, or worse, a finger up her nose. Kristin and her fellow Manic Mommy, Erin Kane, decided it would be great fun if parents bucked tradition and sent their outtakes as holiday cards this year. Inspired by their own comical experiences, the two working momsalready generally overcommitted and overstretcheddecided to launch a national call for entries on their most recent audio cast Manic Xmas. All digital photos submitted will be posted online in a gallery to remain live through January 2006.Parents interested in sharing their funniest outtakes can send photos in jpeg format (medium resolution recommended). All photos become the property of the Manic Mommies web site owners and cant be returned..
Viva la Venus Rocks Jay Leno and the Tonight Show
If you were watching the Tonight Show on July 11, 2005, you saw a picture of the hot up-and-coming band, Viva la Venus.
Their band photo was featured during the "headlines" segment by Jay Leno. The original article was featured in the Asheville Citizen Times.
Viva la Venus played a show at Fred's Speakeasy.
The show was sponsored by Go-Girls and featured three bands that had between 1 and 3 female members.
The headline read "These Women Rock" referring to the women in all the bands.
Of course, Viva la Venus's picture was large and right next to the headline.
Leno took the opportunity to suggest the long-haired, goatee-wearing male drummer was an unattractive woman.
Members were flattered that Leno found most of the band attractive and hope to prove that the headline is correct.
These women (and one man) really do rock.The photo from the paper was taken outside a club called the Handlebar in SC where the group had...

Teacher creates book "No, George, No! the RE-PARENTING of George W. Bush"
San Jose, CA (ContentDesk) May 10, 2004--The teacher who started a controversy by creating the Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards, which aimed to present an alternative point of view to the "Iraq's Most Wanted" playing cards is back and she has another lesson to teach."Last year, I created the Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards because I had a hard time finding the truth about the war.
After the war was declared officially over, I noticed the devastation that was all around us due to the war and to U. S. Policies. I was walking through Yosemite in October of last year, and the title of a book "No, George, No! The RE-PARENTING of George W.
Bush" came to me.
The story of a young boy named George who is taught important lessons in life by a Truth Fairy flowed easily while I began writing." says Kathy Eder, the creator of Operation Hidden Agenda playing cards and the soon-to-be released "No, George, No! The RE-PARENTING of George W. Bush.""I was turned down...

What's On Your Door, Nuthin'?
Someone once asked me: "How come children get what theywant and adults don't ?"I then usually ask, "Well, what's on ?your' door?"Lots of children, if they have some form of allowing parents,have pictures of horses on their walls and doors, and picturesof other stuff that they like and want. If you'd study this a bit....you may find that the kids have thestuff in their experience that is pasted on their doors and walls.As I write this I have two girlfriends with children who alsohave horses ! When you go to the children's bedrooms, guesswhat's on their walls? Horses!So, what's the catch?Adults think it's childish and messes up the walls and stuff.Therefore, Adults are too "big" to paste their dreams on theirown walls, because, why? Well, it's childish and messes upthe walls!But it gets even more ironic. Many businesses have story orgoal boards in their offices. Car Dealers have them. Movie andTV Producer offices have them.
Have them, what? Walls thathave stuff they want to happen,...

The Importance of Setting Up Your Own Website Online
Copyright ? 2006 Mal Keenan
The importance of a website for any online endeavour cannot be understated.
There are some who claim that you can make money online even without a website.
This is true.
It is possible to earn some income without the benefit of your own site.
I would say that for the little money that it takes to set up your own domain name and hosting you are putting yourself at an disadvantage by not setting up your own storefront online.

Domain names can be registered for as little as $3 per year. When you become a famous online entrepreneur people will have a place to visit:-).
The fact is, a website will make your business a whole lot easier.
Let's look at the distinct advantages of having your own website:
A website is your headquarters in cyberspace.

Seven Ways For Saving Your Digital Images For Ever!
So, you have taken lots of pictures with your new digital camera, the memory card is full, and you are wondering how to store and archive your images.1 Buy another memory cardThe method of storing your images with least effort is to buy a new memory card and keep your images on the first card. Taking into account that memory cards are currently expensive, this seems a costly way of archiving the images. In the longer term, however, there may be some argument for this method as memory card prices fall, which they progressively have. However as time goes by the digital size of images (measured in megapixels) will increases partly offsetting this factor.2 Transfer your images on to your computerMost if not all digital cameras come with a cable for connecting the camera to a personal computer. The manufacturer has probably provided software with that cable so that you can install the software on to your computer, connect the cable and transfer images from your camera onto your PC.
