Meet Skyler, Canine Community Reporter

Meet Skyler, Canine Community Reporter, a photo by Kathy Tarochione on Flickr.

Canine Reporting sure is a "Riskie Business". But I'm never scared because I'm like the postman. . .come rain or shine, I deliver the NEWS you want to know about what's happening in our community.

You're welcome (I knew you were thinking "oh thank goodness for that wonder Skyler). I got the message.

A Memorial Collage

This is a difficult time for you and your family and going through boxes of photos will seem overwhelming. However, it can become a healing experience bringing your family together with both  laughter and tears. Often children and grandchildren have never seen the photos of older members of the family from their younger days. Photos packed away in boxes or in albums come to life as memories long forgotten.  These are different styles of Memorial Collages. 

And even your pets. . .

Memorial verse and poems are a valued addition to a photo collage.   You are welcome to use a poem, prayer, lyrics of a favorite song or verse within your collage.  

Packages begin at $49.00 Contact LifeStory Designer, Kathy Tarochione at PICTURE A MOMENT PRODUCTIONS 870-743-3980 or email

17 Places to Find PodSafe Music

Considering LifeStory Designers will soon be opening our own LifeStory Radio Show, we thought it would be great to share with any Designer that would like to start Podcasting. This is one of our first resources.

From Blog Talk Radio:

One question we’re asked a lot here at BlogTalkRadio is where to find royalty-free or podsafe music to download (and upload) for BlogTalkRadio shows. Many of our hosts enjoy playing music for their listeners, but don’t want to violate any laws. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to find royalty free and podsafe music.

What follows are some places to find PodSafe music for your BlogTalkRadio shows. Before downloading any music, please be sure to read the website’s terms of use thoroughly, and to obtain any and all necessary permissions. Also, many of these places charge per download.

Behold:

1. MySpace: Nikki Starr recommends using MySpace to find Indy bands who would be happy for the airplay. Many of them haven’t signed over the rights to their music but would love to be heard. All you need is for them to send you an MP3 and a letter granting you permission to play their tunes.
2. PodSafe Audio – A popular place for musicians and music lovers to share tunes.
3. Stock Music - Offers cutting edge music for podcasts, but you’ll have to pay.
4. Royalty Free Music - A diverse collection of podcastable music.
5. PodSafe Music Network – Allows you to purchase music for your podcast.
6. Magnatune – A record company that wants you to podcast their music!
7. Creative Commons – There’s plenty of music on the Creative Commons, though maybe not so much in your favorite genre.
8. CC Mixter – Features remixes licensed under the Creative Commons.
9. GarageBand – Featuring some awesome independent music.
10. LoopSound – More royalty free music.
11. SoundClick – A variety of music available from both signed and unsigned bands.
12. Royalty Free Classical Music – Offers a nice selection of classical music for podcasts.
13. Music Track Library – Costs about $15 per.
14. Opuzz - Buy background and intro and outro music here.
15. Music Buggy – A place for the people who make music and the people who play music to connect.
16. Ioda Alliance – An online Independent music distributor.
17. The BeatSuite - Royalty free and podsafe music.
