October Endings

Happy Tuesday everyone.  I am so sad  for all the people on the East coast who are suffering as a result of the Hurricane Sandy.  The news reports are hard to watch.  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.  If you would like to help, here is link to the Salvation Army website.

Here is a useful flight tracking website called Flight Aware.  This website tells where the flight originates which can be very important to know when there is bad weather.  You can better predict delays and cancellations with this information.  Here is a link to their website:

I belong to a couple of online Photography groups that have various themes and challenges for the photos you post.  This has made me realize I need to come up with a better system for storing my photos.  I end up searching through all kinds of disks that I have stored by date.  There are programs you can buy to do this but it seems silly to pay for something that I should be able to do myself.  I think I will create a system based on the subject instead of the date.  I will keep you posted on how well this works.  The photo below is one I uploaded to the Photographers Adventure Club.

I like to try different companies for photography printing to see offers the best quality for the price.  The lastest one I tried is called My Publisher.  I won a gift certificate in Photography competition so it was a no brainer.  I uploaded pictures I took last summer while we were on our RV trip for a photo book as a gift for my husband.  The website was easy to use and you could set up each page the way you wanted it or just upload the pictures and let them decide how to organize them.  You have the option of adding text to each page.  It took about ten days for the book to arrive and I was impressed with the quality of the printing.  They also do greeting cards, calendars and canvas prints.  Right now they are offering 40% off your order with the Promo Code 44V-Q3LJ.  The offer ends November 12th.

Here is the Thought For The Day:
"Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing."  William Butler Yeats courtesy of The Happiness Project.
