Jolie breast-feeding picture @ W Magazine

Breast-feeding is still best for babies. Now that the China milk scare is still a hot global issue, various government agencies are paving ways not to allow the damage to extend. Aside from various testing of milk and milk-based products plus banning of China products, melamine scare brought again the importance and advantages of breast-feeding towards babies.

Speaking of breast-feeding, Angelina Jolie has a magazine cover photo on W Magazine for its November issue breast-feeding one of her newborn twins. A role model for new mothers out there indeed. The photo, taken by Jolie's partner Brad Pitt, will adorn the November issue of W magazine. Other family pictures taken by Pitt in the weeks after the birth in July of twins Vivienne Marcheline and Leon Knox will appear inside.

Kind of fabulous isn’t it? Seeing a superstar actress like Jolie doing that is really a perfect model to encourage women to make a choice that is best for their baby.Want a peek of Jolie's W Magazine cover shot?

WWW or NON-WWW on preferred domain name

Together with my blogger friends, HBP and Orgl, we are trying to comprehend how can we make our traffic goes into our preferred domain. In my case, I did index Housewife @ Work with WWW like this, http://www.housewifeatwork.blogspot.com. On the other hand, my blogger account link is http://housewifeatwork.blogspot.com. Not knowing the effect of this coz I am not really a computer geek, I thought it would be fine until I came across a site where my blog’s statistics showed up 2 diagnostics.

Imagine, my traffic including the inbound links broke into 2 between Housewife @ Work with WWW and with NON-WWW. Based on some articles I read, it did affects the page rank of a certain blog and even in my Google Webmaster Tool info indicates that it might have read my blog as 2 separate links.

It is really kind of shocked that this WWW will give me trouble now. So since my blogger account has NON-WWW, I patterned my blog index with it and hoping that next time Google makes it crawling task my blog will be updated and cached in my preferred domain, the NON-WWW Housewife @ Work. Other thing that I keep on searching for is that would it be possible to have 301 redirect inside my blogger account.

Any help, advice, suggestion or clarification on this concern is very much welcome. I just need to maximize my traffic by directing all of it to my preferred NON-WWW domain.

Enclume pot racks

Kitchen is my private place in the house. During my teenage years, I really don’t cook coz I have my great uncle to cook for the family. But things do change so when I got married I started to learn how to cook so that hubby will not bring me back to my parents. At first, it was really kind of tough but now I am used to it. I do want to experiment on different kinds of recipes especially for the kids coz they are a bit picky.

Currently my kitchen looks like an ordinary one. I am planning for some improvements like putting something similar I saw in the net, an enclume pot racks. Also, I think the family needs additional cabinets for the kids’ stuff, you know snacks and the likes. Going back to enclume potracks, its interest me since I usually put the pots inside the cabinets. In that way my cooking partners will have great time to inhale and exhale and to free them from cabinet insects like cockroach. I have seen several designs of enclume pot rack, there are hanging and lighted ones. Those designs are big help in planning my improvements for the kitchen so it will have a new, spacious and contemporary look.

Business Loans

The effect of the global financial crisis is being felt gradually in the prices of basic commodities, the weakening value of Peso and worst the possibility of having our beloved OFWs’ return to Philippines because of retrenchment.

Experts’ advice OFWs to establish businesses to at least have a source of income upon return here in the Philippines. Even after long years of hard work, not all OFWs have the enough capital to start with. Among the available options are loans from established banks like Citibank, BPI, SCB, PSBank, Chinatrust, China Bank, RCBC, Metrobank, BDO, East West Bank, UCPB, Planters Bank, Premiere Bank, Sterling Bank, GE, and more. Likewise, there are also small micro-financing corporations who are in the rescue to lend individuals who find a hard time getting a loan from banks, and there are also cooperatives.

Establishing a business is not that easy but creating small businesses will help the Philippines to surpass the current global financial crisis, in a way. I just hope that banks, cooperatives and other lending institutions will make their own ways to extend helping hands to entrepreneurs who are in need of capital to help the country in good shape financially.
