My son’s birthday party is Sunday

My son’s 10th birthday is Sunday and the preparation has begun. He had to decide between an afternoon party for his school friends (we did it last year) or a evening party for the family. He chose the last one, so we are having a family dinner with my son’s two special friends, two neighbor boys and of course my best friend E. that for me is part of the family.

This year I decided to go with him shopping for his birthday present (although his birthday is only Sunday). At the last minute he decided to buy a cellphone. Last year he had a Nokia 5200 but it stopped working and believe me I don’t think he needs one although sometimes I regret not having a way to reach him. So, he chose a simple Samsung once we can not afford an expensive one and I explained to him again that he is a very lucky boy, he got a PSP on Christmas and now a Cellphone.

For now I guess he has enough toys, games and consoles (I’m glad he doesn’t want the xbox 360) so I guess I don’t have to worry about him asking for more stuff.

This month he received a Laptop but that’s part of a school educational program, I’ll post about it soon.

Stay fit with indoor exercise equipment

The weather is getting worse and those that enjoy exercising outdoors are in big trouble because the weather doesn’t offer good conditions and you might get a cold or another worse disease if you dare going outside and practice.

If you are following a weight loss program you shouldn’t stop exercising and

you should continue to follow the established program, if you can’t do it outdoors you do it indoors.

So, what do you need to exercise indoors? You have to look for exercise equipment. Don’t think that you are wasting money when you can have good weather in a few weeks. Imagine those summer days when you want to exercise and it’s too hot outside…you can use your exercise equipment you have inside your fresh house.

Which exercise equipment should you look for? Here are a few examples of the most popular equipments:

Treadmill:
There are different styles of treadmills and prices vary a lot so you have a good range of choice. Some are electric others powered by your walking. I’m sure you can find the right one for you at an affordable price.

Elliptical machine:
Ellipticals are very versatile and usually they combine different types of exercises. Advanced models even let you workout your lower and upper body.

Exercise bike: In my opinion this is the most common exercise equipment we find in our friends houses. There are a lot of models and styles than combine upper and lower body workout. Prices vary a lot depending on what the exercise bike offers to the person that will be using it.

Trampoline:
This is an optional exercise equipment that can used by all family member and depending on the size of the trampoline you can use it indoors or outdoors. Usually they are really affordable and you can have a good time playing with it while you exercise.

If you are looking for cheaper products you can always try other products used for Yoga and Pilate. You can also try resistance bands, exercise balls, weights and other small items that can be useful for your weight loss program or just to keep in shape.

I hope you enjoy your exercise plan indoors, just stay away from outdoors and from the bad weather.

Exercise safely and have a better life!

Affiliate Networks – Why don’t you all pay through PayPal?

27
Tech tipsComputer Tricks

I’ve been reading a lot about Affiliate programs, I’ve subscribed to newsletters, I’ve read free reports, free e-books, watched videos, I’m almost an Affiliate Pro without even being a real affiliate.

I’m European, I live in Europe but my readership comes mainly from United States (also a lot from Canada and Australia) so the products I want to promote must cover those residents. I’ve got no problem in finding affiliate networks my problem is how the commission’s payment is done. I’ve signed up to these three:

Amazon.com

  • I’ve got to pay Amazon a fee to receive by check and to discount the check in my bank account I have to pay more fees. Meaning: it’s not worth (at least for small amounts).
  • I can receive through Gift Certificate that I can use to buy products from Amazon.com. Shipping overseas is expensive and most products can’t be sent to Europe. I’ve got around 25$ to receive now, so I’m going to try to: first exchange the gift by money with an US Blogger friend if possible, otherwise I will try and order some books. Let’s see if I don’t have to pay taxes upon arrival.

CJ – Commission Junction

This is an Affiliate Network I really like. There is a wide variety of companies and products available that I really would enjoy to promote. However:

  • CJ pays through Direct Deposit to some countries including Europe but Portugal is not included, so no chance for me.
  • The only chance I’ve got to receive CJ’s commissions is by bank check and I’m afraid I will pay a lot of taxes at my local bank.

PepperJam Network

I signed up for Pepperjam a few months ago and the excellent option they have is Pepperjam Networkpayment through PayPay. My account is pending for acceptance of this way of payment, and tomorrow I have to fax them back a Form with my PayPal details for approval. This is a new requirement and only after being accepted I can browse the Partners List. If I’m not accepted for Paypal payment, I’ll be in trouble again facing bank check fees.

I want to join other affiliate programs, specially healthy and green living related programs. I’ve checked a few sites directly but some of them are only open to US residents and others pay through bank check.

I’m really trying to promote products that will interest and will be useful to my readers but being an European it’s really tough to enter the US world. Improving my income online and having a better life are also my objective but many obstacles are on my way.

If you know some sites with healthy and green products and with an affiliate program leave me the link so that I can check if I can apply.

How to Choose the Proper Drug/Alcohol Treatment Clinic

A drug and alcohol rehab clinic can be the ideal place to detox from the unhealthy lifestyle that is being lead. It is essential that careful planning be made as to which drug rehab is selected though. There are many programs around the country that can be beneficial. In most cases, they will treat all substance abuse including alcohol addiction, drug abuse and teen drug.

Since you will be spending a good deal of your time at the treatment center that you attend, it should be a place that you feel comfortable to go. While most of the addicts do not want to be there, it should provide you with the necessary program to treat your condition. One important consideration here is for those teens in need of help. Teen Drug Addictions is much different than the drug addiction of an adult and should be handled not alongside an adult but in a separate facility.

In some cases, the program itself should be considered. Often, there is a need for Drug and Alcohol Detox to happen before the program can be started. In this case, finding a drug rehab clinic that allows for aid in detoxifying is necessary for a program that will work. Other things to consider include the method in which the program is taught. Some are much milder in their treatment programs. A drug rehab clinic should provide the highest level of commitment to the addict, no matter what the program is.
