- First check out your app that you are currently running. A good way to check is to run an app manager. For those running Android, don't pick the one in the market with the red icon...it is a virus and you will have to factory restart your phone. The app manager will tell you how many apps you are running in the background and similar to Windows Task Manager you can force the app to shut down.
- Always use a bluetooth? Give it a break if you are low on battery life as it is a huge battery drainer.
- WiFi and GPS usage will quickly suck the life out of your battery, if you're not using it turn it off. You might want to make sure that it's not on auto turn on when around a WiFi signal. You can find out in your WiFi setting on the phone. If you have a data plan and have a good signal there's no reason to use your WiFi, you are just draining your battery.
Turn off the vibrate and just let the phone light up to let you know there is a incoming call. It takes a lot of battery life for the phone shake like crazy. You might "enjoy it" but keep this tip in mind if you are running low on battery life.
Is your cell phone dying way to fast or not lasting through the day?

Here's my 12 bottles of Purex that I got for $24 total at Walgreens. Through the end of the month Walgreens has Purex Buy one at 5.99 and get one free. I had a coupon for BOGO FREE for Purex. So I got 3 bottles for $5.99...well, $6.85 with tax.
For those who think I'm crazy (like a certain Brother-in-law) for buying multiple papers...this is the reason, I had four BOGO FREE coupons.Here's my FREE Tylenol PM. They have Tylenol PM for $2.99 on sale, there is a walgreen in store coupon for $1.50 and top it with $2.00 off coupon from Tylenol.com I had a $.50 overage so it took $.50 off one of the Purex purchases.

I came upon this site about six months ago and have been loving it ever since. This site takes boring photo slideshows and puts them on steroids but does all the work for you. It's literally a three steps program.
1. upload your photos/video
2. upload or add music already on the site.
3. Hit Done.
Here's a little video I did for my sister and brother-in-law for their anniversary.
The amount of time you will have to wait for the video to be finished will determine on how many pics and/or videos you have. A 3 mins video will take about 45 mins to render, but the system will email you when it's done.
Keep in mind the videos will only be 5-10 secs, it's meant to highlight a part of the video.
You can do Free Short Video (30 secs) or upgrade to the Full Videos for ($30 a year). I've already completed 20 videos or so in the six months I've been using the program.
Common Questions:
Do I have to pay $5 to download.
---No, only the high resolution videos are $5 which are made for TV. You can download a small version for your computer.
Can I upload my own music.
--Yes, I usually use my own music.
Can I use Itunes...
--There is a disclaimer on the website reference copyrighted music, so check out our post tomorrow on converting music files.
