Blaze Media Pro All in one audio and video converter

by

Have you ever wished that you had software that could meet all your audio and video editing needs? Well I’ve just been introduced to Blaze Media Pro software and I think you’ll find that it not only meets all of your needs, and has so many features that you’ll never want to use another piece of software to edit your videos or audio files.

Blaze Media Pro allows you to edit your videos and audio files in all of the popular formats such as MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, WMV, iPod, PSP, 3GP and many more. The software includes a full audio and video converter, burner, video capture, audio recorder, data CD/DVD burner, add special effects (there’s a list of 30 special effects that you can use), create and manage playlists and more all in one software application.

I think this software would be great for any bloggers that are thinking of or who already do video or audio podcasts on their sites. Think about it – instead of using two or more programs to edit your video or audio creations you can use just one piece of software. Just imagine how much time you’ll save.

Some of the features that I really like are the ability to extract and save sound files, add audio to video, extract frames to image files in batch mode and the fact that you can create videos from still frame images or by piecing together parts of other videos to create your own awesome movie.

If you want to try out this software you can download a free trial version of Blaze Media Pro. Try it. I’m sure you’ll like it.





I’m being gassed out of my home by a farting dog!

by

Ok, I’ve always thought that my Labrador Retriever puppy might be part goat due to the way she eats grass, but now I’m starting to think that my supposedly purebred lab might have a little Bulldog in her too.

Why? Well this weeks she’s been a farting machine!

She’s never been one to pass much gas. Oh occasionally when she’s squatted to do a movement we’ll hear a little phwtttt, but that’s about it.

She was just lying on the floor sleeping near me a few minutes ago and I actually heard her fart five or six times! Stinky ones too!

We haven’t changed her diet (well other than to eliminate Nutro Natural Choice Large breed puppy food about a month ago due to concerns as several dogs have fallen severely ill or died after eating it lately!) or anything else. The only big change for her is that she went into heat a week ago Wednesday or Thursday (10 or 11 days ago). I’m really starting to think that hormonal changes might be causing her gas.

I wonder if her gas is causing my headache? There’s a little more methane in the air these days – in my home at least! Yes – I still have a headache/migraine – it seems to change in severity so I’m calling it a combo. I’ve had this headache since sometime Monday … about the time Midnights farts really started up. See … there might be a connection.

I wonder if you can give dogs Beano? If you can maybe I could add a few drops to her meals for a day and see if it helped? 😉

This cat must be very tolerant!

Keep your enemies close

I’d bet that having mice crawling all over your head would be a little creepy … even more so if you are a cat who wants to eat the mice!

This cat must have a lot of patience and tolerance!

Dog Farts – Stinky stinky dog farts

by

Over the last few days our Labrador Retriever, Midnight, has had more gas than usual. Stinky gas that produces stinky farts. Ughh!

I have no idea why she’s more gassy than usual. We haven’t changed her diet – well other than to eliminate Nutro Natural Choice a couple of weeks ago (rumors that it’s making a lot of dogs sick!), but she’s on her other regular food so that shouldn’t have made a big difference.

 

Curious Midnight

Midnight says “What do you mean? My farts don’t smell!”

She did go into heat on Thursday. Yeah, we haven’t had her spayed yet. We were going to at the end of August when Chris is on vacation but I guess we’ll have to wait until mid to late September now. I wonder if the change in her hormones might have made her more gassy?

She must have been full of gas the other evening. Chris came home from work, fed her, her dinner and then took her for a walk and when he came back he said that she was farting as she walked. Not only was she farting but she was wiggling her bum around as she walked, I presume to help get the farts out. LOL I wished I’d seen that. It sounds like it was a funny sight and her farts were fairly loud so much so that Chris was looking around to see if anyone was nearby to hear them! I guess he was afraid that someone would have thought it was him.

A little while ago she was lying near me on the floor and she was passing gas in her sleep. You know – those silent but deadly ones? I had to wake her up so that she’d move away from me!

I guess I’m glad we don’t have a bull dog (they fart all the time!). At least Midnight only has gas every once in a while, maybe less than my husband does!

Now other than the farts, if they’d stop running those darn acne products commercials repeatedly all day I’d be happy. I think I can probably recite two or three of them word for word by now.

Just about ready to go to the Canadian Open and concert

by

Well in a little while Chris and I will be off to the Glen Abbey golf course to watch some of the Canadian Open semi-finals and then to go to the Tom Cochrane and Red Rider concert.

We just called the info line at the Canadian Open to find out about parking and the shuttle service that they are offering and we found out that there’s already a delay in play on the course.

I have a feeling there will be lots of delays today because we are under a severe thunder storm watch. We’re expecting severe winds and large hail. Great eh? Maybe Chris and I should wear our swimsuits when we go because I’m certain we’re going to get wet!

Apparently yesterdays concert didn’t start until 9 pm because of delays. Golf play is expected to end between 6 and 7 pm and the concerts start up right at the end of play but because of all the delays the concert started late too.

The main attraction for us is the concert so we are holding off going to Glen Abbey until about 4 or perhaps even 5 pm. We’re also delaying because we don’t have anyone to watch our dog and we don’t want to leave her alone for too long.

I’m almost always home so Midnight hasn’t spent a lot of time alone. of course there’s been times when we’ve been out for two to four hours without her but that’s the longest she’s been left alone. So it looks like this afternoon and evening will be her longest stretch on her own. She’ll be in her crate with her favorite toys so I think she’ll do ok. Luckily she’s not a barker!
