Caring for Aging Pet Birds


Caring for Aging Pet Birds

 
When you have any kinds of animals at home, you know that you want to take care of them for as long as they belong to you. For many people this is going to mean that as their pets get older, they have to figure out how to care for them. Caring for a pet as they get older is always very important, because not only is it your pet that you are caring for, it is a way to keep your pet comfortable and in your life for longer. No one wants to know that their pet isn’t comfortable, and so as your pet bird ages, it is  important that you do all that you can to take care of them.

Pet birds live for various amounts of time. There are many pet birds that will live for a couple of years, but there are also pet birds that can live much, much longer. That means that in order to properly care for your aging pet bird, the first thing that you need to do is to figure out how long they are going to live for. Most birds don’t really change their appearance, as they get older, so you want to be sure that you know when your pet is going to be an old bird, so that you can prepare for this.

There isn’t much that changes in birds as they age. If your pet bird spends most of his time in his cage, you are probably going to find that he appears to be the same, day after day. However, in most cases, your bird is going through changes that you simply can’t see as he gets older. So, to make sure that you are able to properly care for him, a good thing to do is to take careful notice of him and what he does when he is a young bird. You might want to take notice of the things that he does – how far he hops or flies, and what kind of action he has during the day. This way, as he starts to get older, you can see if he is changing anything about the way he acts.
 

 

The Subservient Chicken

The Subservient Chicken

From www.ebookbaazar.com

Created for Miami Advertising Agency Crispin Porter and Bogusky by The Barbarian Group, the Subservient Chicken is a viral  marketing  promotion of Burger King’s line of chicken sandwiches.
The campaign is based on a web site that features a person in a chicken costume. The actor performs a wide range of actions based on a user’s input, showing pre-recorded footage and appearing like an interactive webcam. The takes literally the advertising slogan “Get chicken just the way you like it”.
There are more than a hundred commands the chicken will respond to, including:
· Michael Jackson dance moves such as moonwalk
· River dance
· The elephant
· Lay an egg
· Walk like an Egyptian
· Yoga
· Rage
· Spank
· Taco Bell
· Fight

When told to do anything the Subservient Chicken thinks is offensive, like perform sex acts or take off his mask, the chicken walks up to the camera and shakes a scolding chicken finger in disappointment. If he is told to east food from rival fast food places like McDonald’s he approaches the camera and places his finger down his throat but when told to eat Burger King he has a more positive response. The chicken responds to the command “smoke crack” by smoking but when told to “smoke a bong” he waggles his finger scoldingly.
Burger King’s Chicken Fights campaign was recently introduced. The two cockfighting chicken characters are modeled off this chicken.
There seems to be no end to the variations on the theme from Burger King. There has also been a lot of criticism leveled at the chain about the Subservient Chicken but for now it looks like Burger Kind is crying all the way to the bank.

successful  viral campaign isn’t always in good taste… maybe that’s what makes them so tasty.

Tips for Blind Dating

Tips for Blind Dating

In many ways blind dating is no different than any other type of dating.  The basic elements of dating still exist but you do need to exercise more caution in a blind date.  Like any other date you want a blind date to go well so that you can ensure yourself a second date.  However, while it is important to exercise caution in all types of dating it’s even more important in blind dating.  Another factor unique to blind dating is getting set up with a great date.  While this may not always be in your hands there are some ways that you can take some initiative in this area. 
Like any date the key to a blind date is setting yourself up for a second date.  Arranging a fun date and being interesting to your date are two keys to achieving a second date.  In making conversation on a blind date, it is important to take an interest in what your date has to say.  Doing this will let them know that you are interested in getting to know them better.  Also, try speaking about subjects that you really enjoy.  This will make you not only sound more natural but will also make you sound more interesting. 
Dressing to impress  is also critical to a blind date.  In meeting someone for the first time you will want to ensure that you make a good first impression.  You don’t always know how much a blind date already knows about you but it doesn’t hurt to show up for the date looking as though you have put a great deal of effort into your appearance.  You’re date will appreciate the effort and be flattered by your going out of your way to impress them. 

A Man’s Guide to Re-Entering the Single’s Scene

A Man’s Guide to Re-Entering the Single’s Scene

If you are just getting out of a committed relationship you may need a few tips for re-entering the single’s scene.  While the single’s scene may not have changed tremendously during your relationship, you probably have.  Being in a committed relationship is much different from being involved in the single’s scene and you may need a few tips before re-entering the dating world.  You’ll need to relearn previously mastered skills that may have been forgotten such as making yourself appear attractive, asking out someone and planning a date and reading the signals of other singles.  Additionally, if online dating sites didn’t exist when you were courting your previous partner you may need to learn a little about this before re-entering the single’s scene.  It may take some time to get back into the single’s scenes but these tips will help to ease the transition. 
The key to attracting potential partners is to make yourself appear as attractive as possible.  This may not be as simple as it sounds.  You may look in the mirror and see yourself as attractive physically, mentally and emotionally but your opinion is not what is most important in the dating scene.  What you believe is attractive may not be perceived that way by other singles so it is important to have a good understanding about what your potential partners may identify as attractive.  Try using your previous relationship as a guideline for making yourself appear as attractive as possible.  Think back to what it was about you that attracted your previous partner and try to emphasize that feature or characteristic.  For example if your previous partner frequently complimented you on your broad shoulders and your thoughtfulness, you may want to wear clothes that accentuate your shoulders and take care to treat new acquaintances thoughtfully.  Understanding what potential partners may find attractive and emphasizing these features are essential to a man
who is ready to re-enter the single’s scene. 

Viral Marketing

 Viral Marketing

Here are six ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:
1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral E-book. Allow people to give away your free E-book to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet.
2. If you have the ability to set up a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.
3. Do you have a knack for web design? Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. Then, allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site. Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact.
4. Write an E-book. Allow people to place an  advertisement  in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers.
5. Write articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.
6. You can easily find products on the Internet that will sell you a license allowing you to distribute the product free of charge to other people. Look for those products that provide "branding rights". That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact  information .


 

Your 5 minutes daily program to Stress management

 Your 5 minutes daily program to Stress management
We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn't bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress. Ever been stressed even when you're well relaxed and bored? I know I have.
Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say-- every minute counts.
Managing time
 Time Management  skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.
To improve your time management:
· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself.
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time.
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities that are important and meaningful to you.
· Manage your commitments by not over- or undercommitting. Don't commit to what is not important to you.
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines.
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like.
Build healthy coping strategies

It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction, and how you cope in a stress journal. With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your  life  .

Dating Married Men ...Is It Right Or Wrong For You?

Dating Married Men Is It Right Or Wrong For You
Are you considering dating married men because you are having trouble finding a serious, long term relationship with someone who isn't already attached? Let us say that you are a single female, and you have everything in the world that you need or want, except for a man. There could be many reasons for why this is.

For example, it may be because of your own choice, or it may be because you are simply a difficult person to be with or to deal with. We could spend the time going over all of the available reasons, but that really is not what this article is all about. Instead, let's talk about why single women turn to dating married men.

We have all heard it before: Some single women say that dating married men is their preferred way to go is because not only is it easy for them, but also because it is a guaranteed no-commitment relationship, which is ideal when they are not looking for commitment. If you are not looking for commitment, however, why would you intentionally shack up with someone who is supposed to be committed for life because they are married? Why not choose a single guy who isn't looking for commitment instead?

Dating married men may seem like a walk in the park when you are single and looking, but once you get into such a relationship it can have much different results all together. There is no real way that you can say that dating married men is something you do from time to time, because there are feelings that get factored into these equations in some way or another. Something drew you to the married man in the first place, you didn't just choose him because you thought dating married men would be easy.

So when it comes to dating married men, you make think that you can just see him from time to time without getting any emotions involved, or without allowing yourself to be hurt. However, seeing someone only from time to time actually does involve a lot of things, such as trying to find time for one another without the wife finding out about you. You may be very busy, or you may have plenty of free time, but either way, trying to find time to see someone who is in a marriage can be very difficult no matter which way you go.

If you are free all day and just want to spend time with the person you are in a relationship with, you still have his obligations, including his wife, to contend with. Why put so much time and effort into simply working around his schedule? It sounds like a lot of work just to see someone who is already quite clearly in an attached relationship. Instead, you should try and find someone that has time for you because you are the only relationship he is in.

What is it that really drives you into the arms of a married man, with or without a family? Is it the danger and the excitement of living on the edge? You should know dating married men can leave you with emotional scars that will last a life time.
