Here are some of the gadgets that you can do to preserve those priceless moments.

Definition: Deal, Coupon, Discount, Promo

noreply@blogger.com (Liberty Fun Pass) — Mon, 11 May 2009 10:43:00 +0000

In these trying times, every penny is important so we make sure that it is well spent. And because of this, most of us take advantage of the many promotions as well as deals and coupons and discounts being offered by many shops. All these terms, when heard will surely delight us and give smile on our face. But did you know that even though they entice us with the very same proposals, they also differ in meaning?

Let's digest the meaning of promotions, coupons, discounts and deals from the online dictionaries.

Promotions – this term is commonly known as “promo”. As a general term, promotion is about all the ways available to make a product and/or service known to and purchased by potential clients or customers.

Coupon – (1) is a detachable printed statement on a bond, specifying the interest due at a given time. Each coupon on a bond is presented for payment at the proper time. (2) A part of a printed advertisement as for use in ordering goods, samples, or literature

Deal - to have to do with; to buy or sell

Discount - A reduction from the full or standard amount of a price or debt. The act or an instance of discounting a bill of exchange, note, or other commercial paper.

Let's not be mistaken with the many terms used by establishments to attract customers. Make sure that you know what you're getting into. =)

They said that budget on food should not be sacrificed. These days, as much as we wanted to add more to our food, the global recession that we’re experiencing right now is limiting us to do so.

Sacrificing the food budget should not always be a burden to our health and stomach.

While we can always cut our food cost, we should still not cut the nutrients that we want to be included in our meal.

April Fool's Day Famous Jokes

April 1 denotes the April Fool’s Day. It is not a holiday but many countries from various parts of the world are observing it. In our lifetime, we might have received one or two practical jokes but did you know that there are thousands of hoaxes that have spread from one generation to another and from one place to another?

Here are some of them:

• Alabama Changes the Value of Pi: The April 1998 newsletter of New Mexicans for Science and Reason contained an article written by physicist Mark Boslough claiming that the Alabama Legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi to the "Biblical value" of 3.0.[citation needed] This claim originally appeared as a news story in the 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

• Spaghetti trees: The BBC television programme Panorama ran a famous hoax in 1957, showing the Swiss harvesting spaghetti from trees. They had claimed that the despised pest, the spaghetti weevil, had been eradicated. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate their own spaghetti trees. It was, in fact filmed in St Albans.

• Left Handed Whoppers: In 1998, Burger King ran an ad in USA Today, saying that people could get a Whopper for left-handed people whose condiments were designed to drip out of the right side. Not only did customers order the new burgers, but some specifically requested the "old", right-handed burger.

• Taco Liberty Bell: In 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times announcing that they had purchased the Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it the "Taco Liberty Bell." When asked about the sale, White House press secretary Mike McCurry replied tongue-in-cheek that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold and would henceforth be known as the Lincoln Mercury Memorial.

• San Serriffe: The Guardian printed a supplement in 1977 praising this fictional resort, its two main islands (Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse), its capital (Bodoni), and its leader (General Pica). Intrigued readers were later disappointed to learn that San Serriffe (sans serif) did not exist except as references to typeface terminology. (This comes from a Jorge Luis Borges story.)

• Metric time: Repeated several times in various countries, this hoax involves claiming that the time system will be changed to one in which units of time are based on powers of 10.

• Smell-o-vision: In 1965, the BBC purported to conduct a trial of a new technology allowing the transmission of odor over the airwaves to all viewers. Many viewers reportedly contacted the BBC to report the trial's success. [12] In 2007, the BBC website repeated an online version of the hoax.

• Tower of Pisa: The Dutch television news reported once in the 1950s that the Tower of Pisa had fallen over. Many shocked people contacted the station.

• Write Only Memory: Signetics advertised Write Only Memory IC databooks in 1972 through the late 1970s.

• The Canadian news site bourque.org announced in 2002 that Finance Minister Paul Martin had resigned "in order to breed prize Charolais cattle and handsome Fawn Runner ducks."
