If you like to watch the birds when you go outside or make trips on your nature trails, be sure you carry a good pair of bird watching binoculars. This will bring in all the live action of nature right to your eyes. It will be as if you were right there by the birds or any other animals you might see out in the wild; when you’re actually hundreds of feet away. Another way to bring the birds closer to you is by getting a bird feeder. If you have something that will interest the birds like food, you can be sure they will find it. It seems like birds are like bloodhounds when it comes to food and their keen eyesight helps them to locate food from very far away.

Buytelescopes.com is an excellent place to find bird watching equipment for the eyes and bird feeders to help attract them. They provide items for the astronomy lover and the bird watcher too! They carry some of the more popular brands of telescopes and binoculars like Celestron, Bushnell and Meade. It’s definitely a place you want to check out before you make your next bird watch outing.

Here is a little video to help you get in the Christmas mood. I was amazed when I saw this video. It must have took a lot of hard work to get the lights to do what they do in this video.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Frank Sinatra

Is that amazing or what? How did they do that?

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how they did this, please let me know. I guess you could have someone near the light switch or near the place you plug in the lights and set them off that way. You would have to be a musician to know when all the right notes were going to get played or just know that Frank Sinatra song really well. The last time I was this amazed at Christmas lights on a house, is when Chevy Chase was plugging up all those lights in Christmas Vacation. I really think that Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase is one of the better Christmas movies that is out there.

Whoever made this video did a great job! According to the description at YouTube it was the Macrina Family.

There use to be a man that would go through diners, laudromats, bus stations, shelters and thrift stores giving away $100 dollar bills. He would say it was his way of giving back for Christmas, since he had been so blessed in his lifetime. That man went unknown for a long time and later it was discovered that his name was Larry Stewart.

Now recently a woman that was homeless and trying to find a way back to her home in Minneapolis ran across a stranger on a December afternoon. She had sat and talked with this stranger that had a red coat and red hat. After talking for a bit, the man quietly got up and slipped her a $100 bill and told the poor woman that it was a tribute to Larry Stewart. So now a new Santa or “Larry Stewart” has emerged and leaves one wondering where this gesture might lead. Maybe the man in the red coat will continue the legacy of Larry Stewart and start passing out $100 bills. Perhaps it was just a really sad story that the woman told and the man felt the need for this generosity one time. I would expect others to hear about this and wouldn’t be surprised to see the Secret Santa continue to live on.

Larry Stewart passed away earlier this year at the age of 58.

Do you believe intentions can change the world? Do intentions and positive thinking have powers beyond the way we think today? That is what best selling author Lynne McTaggart is trying to find out and asks “Can intention change the world?”. Shift In Action is a program trying to find out more about the powers of intentions and how it affects our daily lives.

Can Intention Change the World?

So what did you think?

I think that’s some pretty deep stuff and very interesting at the same time. There might be something to this and maybe we can control things with our minds more than we thought we could. They aren’t just trying to prove this with theories and examples and they’re trying to go at this in a scientific manner. A non-profit and education institute is trying to lend some assistance to this process too. The Institute of Noetic Sciences that started in 1973 and was created by Captain Edgar Mitchell (astronaut) is dedicated to advancing the science of consciousness and human experience to serve individual and collective transformation. The “One Minute Shift” is aimed at placing small pieces of wisdom with music and sound to expand your mind, open your heart and shift your daily life. I think this could just be the tip of the iceberg to uncovering more things that our minds have the power to do. So the question still remains “Can Intention Change the World?”.

I got an interesting email today and it was talking about SEO (search engine optimization) and how to improve your search engine rankings with Google. One of the suggestions was to use longer trails for your anchor text. So if you have a blog and make a post that you want a high ranking for; try to use longer anchor text. The email used the example for apple pies. I’m sure apple pies is a popular keyword and gets used for anchor text a lot. Some of the suggestions were: “delicious apple pie”, “homemade apple pie”, “baking apple pies”, etc…

So if you have a keyword that is popular, you might want to try and add a longer trail to it. You need something that makes your keyword or anchor text more unique than the next person’s. SEO is all about being different, so when someone uses a little extra on their search, you can be sure they see your website come up as one of the choices. Search engines are the lifeblood of the internet and its the way most of us navigate around from one website to another. There’s always something you can be doing to get your website in a better placement on the search engines. Getting the most one way links to your website as possible and a lot of daily traffic can get your website ranked really high on Google or any of the other search engines.
