CRAZY Domain Sale - TLDs at ONLY USD 0.99!

You know how I have always said that I am thinking of getting my own domain name and how I am constantly on a lookout for great domain names deals? Well, guess what? I came across an amazing deal earlier today that is totally out of this world! I initially couldn't believe my eyes but upon reading through all the terms, it is indeed real! If you are thinking of getting your own domain name (just like me), you should definitely check this out.

Starting June 9th (yes, this coming Wednesday!), at 8am (PDT (UTC -07:00), Exabytes.com will be running an Extravaganza Sale for Domain Names. In conjunction with their 9th Anniversary, .com and .net domain names will be going for only US$ 0.99!! Yes, I am not joking. Only $0.99! That's even less than buying a bottle of soda! Here's how it works. The first twenty .com and .net domain names will be sold at $0.99, and the price will increase by $1 for every subsequent 20 domains sold. How awesome is that?!? This is not a joke, there are no gimmicks or hidden charges involved! It's definitely a sale that is too good to miss.

If you are currently using a free website and do not own an identity for your website (domain name), now is the time to grab one before the price goes up! Maybe you are just a reader and don't have your own website yet but is planning to do so in the future. Well, let me tell you this. Now is the time to get one. If you planning to have a website but have not purchased any domain name yet, why pay more when you can have the same thing at a much lower price? Even for those who already own a domain but still feel the need to get another one or several different extension domain names (for example spaxez.com, spaxez.net, spaxes.info) in order to start your new websites or online business, you too should take advantage of their Super Duper Domain Sale!

So, need I say more? Act fast and head over to Exabytes.com to grab your desired domain names before the sale is gone in no time. No coupon code is needed. Just head over to their website on June 9th at 8am and start buying your desired domain names!!! You still think that this deal from Exabytes.com is UNBELIEVABLE? Well, BELIEVE IT! I'll be there come June 9th to get my domain name and you should too.

How much do you know about Organic Meat?

Since I started cooking regularly a few years ago, I have been spending more and more time shopping for groceries each weekend. I also try to shop healthy and read as many labels as possible before buying. In recent times, I've noticed that there is an influx of 'organic' labels on many produce and food products. Among all of the labels, one of the more popular one is 'Organic Meats'. That got me thinking. What exactly is organic meat and is that the same as natural meat? I used to think that sure, I guess it's the same. Well, I recently found out that it's not!
However, many people (consumers, grocery store managers and even federal agencies like the USDA!) still think that they are both the same. As long as the meat is free of growth hormones, antibiotics, food additives and crops free of artificial fertilizers, you can pretty much call it natural or organic. It's the same thing. Well, I got news for you, it's not. Have you ever thought about how the livestock is raised? Livestock raised in a natural lifestyle tend to be happier and healthier, thus yielding higher quality products. Let me give you a quick example. You can raise a pig free of harmful contaminants like growth hormones, antibiotics and unhealthy feed but it's growth will still suffer if it does not receive normal amounts of fresh air, exercise and sunlight on a regular basis. Am I right? Therefore, how can you say that natural and organic is the same thing? It's not.
Another misleading thing about organic labels is that they can sometimes be confused with hormone-free labels. Did you know that as long as 70% of ingredients meet organic standards, it's considered organic? What about the 30% of potentially harmful substance? You are paying good money for organic products but you might still end up eating a product that has harmful substances. To avoid misleading organic labels, you have to look for "100 percent organic" promises or "certified organic" labels which guarantee that ninety-five percent of the ingredients be organic rather than seventy-five percent. So, the next time you are our grocery shopping, take some time to stop and read the labels a little closer. It might not be all that it appears to be, at first glance.

Save money and energy at home today!

Let's face it. It's a fact that everybody tries to save money these days. Every little bit counts. Just a few dollars here and a few dollars there make a whole lot of difference. Let me ask you this? How often do just stand at your mailbox in disbelief when you open up that monthly energy bill that just came in the mail? Well, I know I do. It's just so expensive these days. Well, let me tell you something. There is a way to reduce your home energy usage, hence saving a whole lot of money. Not only will it save you money, but you will be helping in saving our environment too! How awesome is that?

I recently came to know about the Microsoft Hohm website. What's that? Well, Hohm is a free web service that helps you make smarter decisions about saving energy and money. It let's you learn how you can reduce your home energy usage and start saving today. Here's how it works. All you need to do is sign up with Hohm for a FREE account and they will provide you with a home energy report and energy-saving recommendations tailored to your home. Just key is some basic information like your zip code, the size of your home, what type of home it is (single family, apartment, condo...etc), when it was built, who your electric and natural gas provider is and soon you will be on your way to getting your own Hohm Energy Report. With that, you can see a breakdown of energy cost and usage, a summary of potential savings as well as some customized recommendations of how you can save energy.

From my customized report, I sure learnt a lot of things. Looks like a major chunk of energy usage is from my home appliances. Computer monitors and other electronics account for about 20 percent of an average home's electricity bills. Just by setting my computer monitor to use low-power or sleep mode when idle will save me $98 a year! Not only that, if I set my computer to hibernate or use sleep mode when idle, I get to save another $75! Another way to save money and energy is to replace incandescent light bulbs with higher efficiency bulbs. Just by doing that, it will save me about $185 a year. There are just so many ways to save energy from my customized report, I just cannot begin to list them all down.

So, what else is interesting in the Microsoft Hohm website? Well, apart from generating your own Energy Report, you can also pick up some Energy saving tips from the website.
