free music




iTunes is known by just about everyone in the world.  But to get songs and albums off iTunes you have to pay money.  No one wants to pay money for one song so a solution for that is a number of sources.  Some people use lime wire or frost wire, but an even easier way to download music is to go on a website by the name of http://www.youtube-mp3.org/.  
       This is a easy and free website that I use for mostly all my music. YouTube-mp3.org is the easiest online service for converting videos to mp3. You do not need an account, the only thing you need is a YouTube URL. What it allows you to do is copy the url from a you tube video and paste it to the website and it converts it to an MP3.  So for example if I go on you tube and listen to "Never gonna give you up" and want it on my iPhone I just copy and paste the link to the website and it converts it to an MP3 and goes to my iTunes library.  You can use this on any device even on an iPhone.
     I use this simply because its such an easy process and the best part about it is that its free.  If i used the iTunes store to buy my songs I would of spent about $1,500 just on songs.  Whats the point of that? So im glad I found this site it works really well and had no problems with it at all.  I recommend this to anyone that loves listening to music.

If you don't have the ability to use a grill, you don't necessarily have to stop enjoying the great taste of a grilled chicken or a steak.  Mostly for those of us at school, sometimes we miss the ability to throw some chicken on the grill and make a nice grilled chicken sandwich.  Fortunately, the George Foreman grill is allowed at school, and is extremely easy to use.  For a fairly inexpensive price, you can buy a portable grill that can easily fit on any desk in your dorm room. The video below shows a fast and easy way to use the George Foreman grill to grill a chicken.

Not only is the Foreman Grill a fast way to cook, it is also a healthy alternative to the normal dorm food.  Yes, I know that pizza rolls are delicious, and that they only take a couple of minutes to cook in the microwave, but mostly for athletes the Foreman is for you.  The grill actually burns all of the fat off of the meat while it is cooking!  The grill is angled so that while you cook, all of the extra fat slides down into a separate container.  This way, you can eat quickly while still being healthy.  

Lastly, the grill is easier to clean than any other.  By simply removing the plates, you can put them in the wash machine, or easily clean them by hand.  Being in a dorm, I know that cleaning up can be a burden, but this way of grilling makes the cleanup just as easy as if you had to wash off a plate after microwaving some pizza rolls.  

I hope that you all take advantage of being able to use a Foreman Grill.  Its size and ease of use make it the perfect tool to use while living on your own at a college campus.

Whitening your teeth




                                                   Blog # 3

WHITENING YOUR TEETH
EASIER, CHEAPER AND FASTER!!

Your teeth are the first thing that most people notice, so of course you want a nice bright smile. Whitening your teeth can be costly, inconvenient and sometimes painful. I am here to give you tips on an inexpensive, painless, at home remedy that will help whiten your teeth within just a few weeks.
Forget visiting Brittleness Salons. Not only will you spend 500.00 dollars but you will also have to sit for 30 minutes with uncomfortable goo all over your teeth.
Sometimes you even have soreness from the gel that is used .
The easiest and cheapest way to whiten your teeth is probably right in your own medicine cabinet at home. I rinse daily with hydrogen peroxide. Yes, the same stuff that you put on scrapes and cuts! I put one tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide in my mouth and swish around for a minute or two. After spitting out, I follow with a water rinse. The results may take a little bit longer than a few office visits, but your wallet will be a whole lot happier. For some, straight hydrogen peroxide may cause some sensitivity. In that case you can start with swishing equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water mixed. Eventually you will build up a tolerance like myself and rinse undiluted. Some say, using hydrogen peroxide can destroy the tooth enamel, but that is not true per the Journal of the American Dental Association (April 2010, Vol 141:4 ,pp 449-454). According to the article, researchers from the University of Trieste found that using 38 percent of hydrogen peroxide used in office visits does not alter enamel surface even in multiple applications. This is why I am not concerned with my method. There are other cheap methods of helping your smile be brighter. Dr Oz claims good dental hygiene and brushing with pure baking soda also helps with whiter teeth!
Visit www.doctoroz.com for some of his other tips on keeping your smile bright.
I hope my blog will help someone out there whowants a brighter whiter smile without having to break the bank!

Blog three Cell Phones

Cell Phones
In our society today Mobile phones have because an ever more impressive and important part of everyday life. Before the days of mobile phone it was much harder to get in contact with other people. Now you brother or sister is just a phone call away if you would like to get in contact with them. the invention of the mobile phone has revolutionized the way people live there life. Can you imagine today without your cell phone or mobile device? Before cell phone it was much harder to contact almost anyone and the cell phone might be one of the most important inventions in the twenty first century. The cell phone has developed into a mainstream thing for people now-a-days in wealthier countries.            
In addition to mobile device , modern mobile phones also  have an other array of uses like text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless, gaming and photography.
The first hand-held mobile phone was  shown by  John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing about  2.2 pounds. From 1990 to 2011, worldwide cell phone contributions rose from 12.4 million to over 6 billion.
As for today cell phones have made life so much easier for people today. With a cell phone you are able to do everything form play a game to read an article to even do online banking. The convenience of a cell phone has become so mundane that almost everyone has one. It is not unusual to see a to see a child ages under twelve to have a cell phone of their own.  Also increasingly there has been an up rise in global cell phone use. More and more people across the world are gaining cell phone access.
To go along with the cell phone there has been an evolution of instant messaging through text messaging and black berry messaging along with many others.  This has made communicating with other even more adaptable and fast.
There has been a movement across the country of the United States to make texting and driving illegal because of the dangers of the driving implications. This is the only fault I have found with mobile phones.






sertinos cafe




My favorite place to go when I am home for a long weekend or vacation, is to go Sertinos Café. I do not only go there because I work there, I love the food and atmosphere. The employees are trained to cater to the needs of the customers, and ensure that every customer leaves satisfied. Every time I go to a restaurant I am always stuck between two different meals, but when I go to Sertinos Café I never have that problem. Sertinos offers a pair any two, which allows you to pair any two items on the menu. You can get half of any sandwich and pair it with a cup of soup or a half salad for just 8.49. The pair any two dose not come alone; every pair comes with chips, pickles and a small drink. Everything you can ask for is included in the price. I always hate being stuck between two different meals, and I hate if you get something you don’t like and you wish you had gotten something else. But with pairing your meals, you never have that problem. You have two different meals to try and enjoy.  It not only great for getting two different choices to enjoy, but its great for saving money. You don’t need to buy two different meals just so you can get a salad or soup with your meal. I love saving money and hate wasting food. I never seem to waste food with pairing my meal. I think the reason I love going to this café is because there is always something going on inside, from comedy night to live entertainment. I would recommend this café to everyone. The menu is a good size, not to big that you are overwhelmed when ordering but not too small that you can’t find anything you like. I guarantee that anyone can find something they like on the menu. If you are every in Smithtown, New York I recommended you to stop by Sertinos café and get a quick bite to eat, at a great price. You wont regret it; trust me! 


Tips


Many people fear public speaking. However, there are some ways to make it easier and become more effective.  Probably the most important thing is to know your material.  If you can add humor or a personal story, it can make a big difference.  Another useful technique is to rehearse over and over again.  If you have a certain time requirement, use a timer while rehearsing.  Also, it helps to know your audience and know your room.  If you are not familiar with the room, get there early so you can get familiar with it before your speech.  Although this is hard for some people, it is important to relax.  It helps to visualize yourself giving the speech.  Also, realize that your audience wants your speech to be good. They’re not rooting against you.  Try not to apologize for any problems during the speech. There is a good chance nobody even noticed it.  Another helpful technique is to stay focused on your topic, not on your audience.  If you can, try to find a way to make your speech represent you.  The more experience you are the better you will become.  Try to always be confident when speaking in front of people.  It is also important to have good nonverbal communication skills as well.  Using had gestures along with having good posture are two very important parts of nonverbal communication.  Find a natural, comfortable position to stand in and maintain it throughout your speech.  Make sure you are making good eye contact with your audience and not staring in one place or at your notes.  Try to look friendly also.  The audience will connect with you more if you appear friendly.  There are many sites and videos that have tips on how to make public speaking easier.  http://www.toastmasters.org/tips.asp .  http://web.mit.edu/urop/resources/speaking.html . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykYRO5d_lI .  In conclusion just try to relax and be yourself.  Have fun with it.     

Wanelo by kassandra rheaume

For any teenager that has online shopped, its always difficult to find exactly what your looking for. If you see a trend in a magazine, its hard to find them on online stores. A new discovery I made, made it a lot easier to do so! its called Wanelo . Its a lot like pinterest, a site where you can view photos of clothing, art, homes and all different things. The difference is though that when you click on one of the pictures on Wanelo, it links you to the exact site where you can buy the item from. It has millions and millions of products that stores and people post to sell. Anything from a one dollar ring to a 1,000 couch for your living room. People can put their items from eBay on, or from high end stores too. Its easy to find looks out of a magazine on Wanelo too, searching by categories. You can create an " epic wishlist " and put items in, like a shopping cart on a clothing website. Anyone can view your wishlist, which comes in handy for parents or friends to buy you Christmas and birthday gifts. You can also look up categories like " gifts for my boyfriend" or " funny finds" and view them like that. I started looking a week or so ago at the sight and have already sent my mom my Christmas list of things and found gifts for my friends and family too! My first look at Wanelo I was more than pleased with. I found a bunch of items that I could never find on other websites and it was a much more enjoyable online shopping trip.  its a great and easy site to do shopping or to just browse. Wanelo has also had great reviews from sites like etsy and appsmenow . people have said the site is a great way for people that aren't well know creators, to get their products out there for sale. People can direct ship their products to Wanelo account holders for easy shipping. All in all, I would recommend Wanelo to anyone who loves online shopping but hates to spend too much time on it!

How to earn good grades


Tips to earn good grades
            Here are some general tips to earn good grades without finding so many difficulties. First of all, make sure you organize yourself and manage to write down a goal you want to achieve for the semester or the year. Second, you have to learn how to manage time between academies, extra curricular activities, and social life in college and this is achieve by making your own schedule and writing down when are all your classes and at what time you are going to do homework, making sure you have a reasonable time to do your homework and papers and then go hang our with your friends. Third, you must have a notebook to write down all your future assignments at the end of class, just in case you forget because in college you will have a lot of work to do. Then, I am pretty sure everyone knows that they have to study for tests in order to get good grades but I will remind you that you MUST study for tests because college is not like high school where you can get low grades in your tests and still bump it up with a bunch of homework. Also, I would highly recommend freshmen to take a quiz provided by PDS instructors where you will be able to see which kind of student you are, a listener or visualizer. It actually gave me tips like using notecards and writing all my notes again, which helped me earn better grades in my tests. Other tip that will help you raise your grades are making sure you don’t wait for the last day to complete your assignments and this is because first; you may run out of time, second; there are possibilities of encountering a problem and not being able to fix it in one day, and third; if you accumulate a lot of homework in one day, by the time you are done with some of it you will start feeling exhausted for the next one and chances are you will not get them done or you will get a poor grade in it due to your tiredness.
            In conclusion, there are many tips you can use to raise your grades. Just make sure you know what are your priorities before making choices. In other words; if you have a big project to do or a test to study for, make sure your work is done before making plans.

hi there future dog owners, like every person that wants to own a dog thinks is that having a dog is just feeding it and give it a place to sleep, i will be explaining what you have to provide your dog with and what you have to provide in and out your house to keep your dog safe.

Dog proof your room, as all of us know dogs are known to chew on shoes, toys couches and etc, because of this every room in the house could be dangerous for a dog.
Lets take the kitchen room as an example, some dangerous objects that are located in that room could be sharp cooking and cleaning utensils, poisonous detergents, sharp aluminum cans, chicken bones, plastic bags and the list goes on. Some tips to solve this problem; lock cabinets where detergents and plastic bags are stored, hide your garbage back our of sight, be vigilant about cleaning up messes. Another way to prevent this i to teach your dog to enter the room on commands so that the dog would know when he/she could enter the room. You should apply this to all the rooms to keep your dog safe and your house to prevent this.


When you let your dog out in your backyard, make sure you have a fence to keep passersby safe from your dog and your dog safe from them. Apply fences that are tell enough so the dog would not jump over it plus make sure it has a lock on it. Make sure your dog wears a collar with and I.D incase your dog would manage to escape when you let she/he out.



Because dogs need constantly care, they need to be brushed daily. They are different types of brushes for example we have the bristle brush; they are used for nay type of coat, longer widely spaced bristles are better for dogs with longer coats. Another brush that works well on dogs with medium long hair is the wire pin brush. The slicker brush is used to take out mats and tangles and to smooth your dogs coat. To rake the undercoat of your dog you should use the undercoat rake. The dog comb is useful for combining out hair after detangling or to create that final feather look in long haired dogs. While you are brushing your dog you are actually making a stronger bond with your dog.
Next to brushing your dog you also need to wash your dog with the required shampoo one time a month.

Feeding your dog is one of the most important things to do keep our dogs healthy and happy. But be aware that over feeding your dog could make your dog become overweight and lazy. Thats why you need to feed your dog the healthy kind of food and the required diet to keep him/she active and happy.
Not only does it keep the dog active and happy it gives the dog a healthy skin.

Chelsey Mahoney Online Shopping


Get the Best Online Shopping Deals
Shopping online is sometimes addicting to a lot of people, in a lot of cases females. Shopping online is so convent for people; you don’t need to drive to the mall, you can find a lot more online then in the stores, and it’s something to do when you get bored. The flaws about online shopping is you can spend a lot more money then you want, maybe with the additional cost for shipping, or how you can’t try on the clothing so the clothes might not fit. When it comes to online shopping you want to look for good deals, and sometimes this mean you have to wait to order things. You could always wait for the item to go on sale, but that might take a while and what usually happens is most sizes run out for that item when it goes on clearance.  Smart things to do it give the store your email, so they can email you deals information on their clothes, and free shipping opportunities for their online stores. Getting updates on these can really save you a lot of money. Also sometimes you can find deals on websites like http://www.amazon.com/, or http:/ /www.ebay.com/.  If you can’t find what you’re looking for on websites like Amazon, or Ebay you can also look for promo codes for stores like GoJane, PacSun, American Eagle, etc. Steps to get these promo codes




1.      Go to www.google.com

2.      Type in stores name then promo codes “Go Jane promo codes”

3.      It will give you a list of different website try to pick the first one  http://www.retailmenot.com/view/gojane.com

4.      Copy and waste the promo code while ordering on the stores online website

5.      Press apply, and the code should work

Sometimes the downfall to this is the promo code might be expired, or the website might not take it.  If you keep playing with it then you will usually find a deal along the way. If not I would wait until you get an email for a deal going from the store.  So as annoying as it is when you do buy things in stores, and they ask for your Email give it to them, because you really do get good deals from their emails.
