Recap of some pesky old posts

What's a pesky post? Simply put, it is a post that has led to a drop in page rank while earning short term literary community popularity, increased blog traffic, and minor financial gains for the publisher.

So, while pondering how to correct the anomaly of having some odd blog posts in a supposedly strictly medical blog, I decided to shift a few posts around a bit between some blogs of mine.

Therefore, this post is a compilation of some old posts from elsewhere, shifted here, not as a dump but more like a straight dummy corporation, supported by the import/export feature of Google's Blogger!

By the way, one of the beautiful things about blogging on Blogger is that the posts have their unique and individualized URLs.

That is, as long as the original title is maintained, a post can be relocated elsewhere on Blogger without the publisher losing the ability to retain his/her visitors to that particular post because the Blogger blog post URL remains constant!

So, here goes the compilation of old sponsored posts of mine that may be useful to you as a reference for certain products and services that can be obtained online.

Hopefully, the Google page rank of the original blog will be unbanned or increased once more to at least PR3 - keeping my fingers crossed.

I am also hoping that my former sponsors will also understand my point of view, especially as I have replaced the main content of each post with the redirect message:

[Please see "Recap of some pesky old posts" for the full text of the 'missing' sponsored post, if you are really interested. Thank you.]



Where to get cheap prepaid international calling cards?


When I was still a student at the university, I used to find it quite expensive to call home every week because I was abroad then and could only call my family by long distance telephone service.

The discounts available then on international call rates were usually tied inflexibly to shopping credits or frequent flyer plans by the giant monopolistic telephone companies in operation at the time.

With the deregulation of the telephone carriers and telecommunication companies, there was now a huge market opportunity for other smaller players to enter the industry and to offer more flexible and cheaper rates to their customers.

This emerging plethora of new telephone outfits and businesses, although wonderful in creating cheaper calling rates and communication opportunities, also created a bigger problem for many consumers: choice.

Which company has the best or cheapest rates, deals, and opportunities for international calling with prepaid phone cards? That pesky problem has been solved with a new resource for interested users and consumers.

So, now it is very easy to get a phone card for international and local calls at the best rates possible from various companies.

All you have to do is search through the database of quoted rates and select the most personally appealing prepaid card provider or deal. The choice is all yours.






How bad is your credit rating?


If it is good, good for you; If it is not, then you may need a helping hand.

However, only you can help yourself, especially when it comes to bad credit loans and bad credit credit cards.

So, why not help yourself first by going over and taking a closer look at all the available choices at the free online resource depicted below?








You would certainly be helping your peace of mind, too, in my humble opinion.




Are you still in the market for a mortgage?

Straight off, my humble advice would be for anyone seeking a loan to get a fee-free advice first from any corporate provider.

Next, I would advice any potential mortgage customer or new home buyer to shop around for the best possible Mortgage deals around and not to rush into any new deals because new products are coming onto the market, even as other products are being withdrawn in the face of stiff rates competition and no more interest rate cuts.

I had to give the insights above because there is evidence that up to five per cent of the people who already have fixed rate mortgage loans are getting ill from worrying about what their risk exposure would be once their old deals run out suddenly or at the end of the set full term.

Conversely, over forty per cent of savers in the United Kingdom are spending their savings rather than investing in a new home.



Saint Valentine's Shopping, Anyone?

I never miss St. Valentine's Day. Actually, since 1995, when my first and only niece was born, her birthday always seemed to signal to me, "one week to Valentine's!"

That was certainly enough time to buy all the gifts and stock up on all the romantic stuff, as well as making any special arrangements necessary for another memorable 'lovers' day'.

This time around, I am starting even earlier by shopping online. If you are like me, you would appreciate the following three Coupon Chief bargains.

You can relax on your date and avoid Wesley Snipes’ current headaches and do your tax for free with TurboTax coupons.

Set a romantic mood with some new wine by renewing your love or love interest with these Wine Enthusiast deals.

If you agree that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, these Zales coupon deals would probably be quite agreeable.

Greenville, Rhode Island bakery owned by the Cavanagh family, which uses the plant to produce church communion bread from just water and bread. That business is known to produce about 850 million sacramental wafers annually and to supply 80% of the Holy Communion bread used in American, Australian, Canadian, and British churches. The only middlemen in the supply chain are nuns living in convents! Now they want to expand to West Africa with their Christian sacramental ware for Pentecostal, Catholic, 'New Wave', and Orthodox church offerings. I make reference to the so-called New Wave churches - my term for those churches that broke away from the orthodoxy of the Protestant fold, just as the latter roke off from the Catholic church by virtue of the exploits of Martin Luther centuries ago. Many new-wave and other church goers in the generally undeveloped West African subregion of Africa pay more to religious organizations in monthly tithes and offerings than they do to their government in personal income and value added taxes. Now, that last fact is quite interesting because it is an admission that a bakery in Rhode Island has seen a huge market in the center of Black Africa for small white perfectly laminated and non-crumbly holy wheat bread, reportedly costing "less than a penny" apiece, for the use of both the bible-reading and the bible-believing religious organizations. However, the picture from the Cavanagh's factory floor speaks volumes, in my own opinion, about the need for the company to watch its business ethics and to treat all customers equally irrespective of location, creed, or other discriminatory demographic information or criteria. So, I just hope and pray that the wafers falling off the conveyor belt and by the way side are not destined for West Africa and that the actual wafers delivered will be wheat bread and water, and not just glutamate-free bread and 'pure' water, if you get my point, even if so requested by some shady, greedy, and unethical businessmen over in West Africa.

In the summer of 2007, Pope Benedict XVI (BXVI) encouraged The Church to reach out to young people using new technologies, as he himself learned to send out cellphone text messages to the faithful. So in obedience, a tech savvy evangelizing Catholic priest got some help from a Web designer in order to write all the daily books of prayers into a low-cost computer software application downloadable onto the iPhone. Rev. Paolo Padrini's iTunes prayer book was officially approved by The Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communications in December 2008. Of course, all proceeds from the electronic prayer book venture will go to charity. Speaking of charitable behavior, The Holy See has seen it fit after 400 years to honor Galileo Galilei in 2009 as the "patron" of the non-mutual exclusivity of the faith versus reason dichotomy. That is very appropriate in this age of new technology, even though The Church still smarts from its error of judgment in calling the famous astronomer a heretic after he publicly embarrassed The Church by reporting that his scientific observations in Astronomy with his unique telescope had led him inexorably to believe that the Earth actually revolved around the sun, in direct opposition to the teaching of The Church at the time that Planet Earth was the center of the universe. In seeking to paint the Church in a new light of worldly knowledge by distancing itself from a past of imbibing pure dogma, The Vatican may have ventured to cross the final frontier and boundary between Science and Christianity by acknowledging recently that there could be life on planets other than the Earth!
