http://www.amazon.com/Concept2-Model-Indoor-Rowing-Machine/dp/B008DVF07Q%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIAA4MWUJXHBYFRNQ%26tag%3Dsquid1497328-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB008DVF07Q

I have been always into fitness, I love it, I need it like everyone else but I also don´t have a lot of time in my hands to do it. As you might relate, there is not much time left after jobs and families to take care of.

I participated with my husband in a big rowing competition in Vancouver "The Dragon Boat", and I could see then that rowing was a very complete and exhausting fitness training.

That was what brought me to the idea of researching some alternative to allow me to do exercise at home and I looked into Rowing Machines.

Considering that a rowing machine is a high ticket purchase, it is very important to do your due diligence and analyze very carefully the options before jumping to a big investment like this.

I found Concept 2 rower for sale. The Concept 2 rowing machine has been considered one of the very top brands for this type of exercise equipment. That is the reason why I started my research with this rowing equipment.

One of the first things you should know is that this company has created 2 similar rowing machines, the Concept2 Model D and the Concept2 Model E. The Model E is an upgrade of the Model D. It is important that you understand the differences so you can decide which one will fit better your needs.

Some of the biggest advantages of these rowers are that they are solidly built and can be used for commercial use like gyms, high performance like Athletes or for home. They don´t require much maintenance, and offer a long term durability.

The Concept 2 Company holds a very high reputation providing these rowing machines a very high resale value.

One of the more valuable things that users perceive about this company is the community of people that share the interest of rowing. In their forum they encourage users to achieve their fitness goals by providing prizes for diverse accomplishments.

In general people are very happy with their customer service provided by Concept 2.

Now, it is important to mention that there are lower priced options, and those might be just what you need considering your needs and time you are planning to use your rower, but it is important to see the quality, durability, warranty and support of those machines.

Remember price is not the only factor you should keep in mind while buying a rowing machine or any other big ticket item like this one.

You can read my Concept 2 Rower Review in my lens and check some of the important things you should keep in mind before buying this type of fitness equipment. See for yourself if they are a good choice for you to consider.

Can You Make Money On Squidoo In 2013?

There has been a polemic about the effectiveness and security that Wed 2.0 properties such as Squidoo offer for affiliation marketing.

With all the updates that google has done in the past 2 years (panda, penguin, etc.) a lot of affiliates lost rankings for their websites affecting their earnings.

Ok, let me point this out, the success of selling as an affiliate it is not necessarily about the platform you use (Squidoo, WordPress, etc.), it is about the niches, the keywords and the quality of the content you give.

Google is giving a huge weight to the relevance and quality of the content, and they measure this with these 2 main matrix: "time on site", and "bounce rate".

So the question arose. Can niche sites still work for affiliation marketing, and even more, can free sites like Squidoo still work for affiliation marketing today in 2013?

Is Squidoo a safe platform to build your affiliation business
How well does Squidoo rank in Google
Can you make money using just free strategies as an affiliate
How much money can you make using Squidoo
When is the best time to take your campaigns to the next level by creating your own websites
Main reasons people are not making money

Ok to answer these questions I decided to write the lens Can You Still Make Money On Squidoo. To give you some facts so hopefully you can make your own decisions regarding the incorporation of Squidoo in your tool kit.

LeapFrog LeapPad2 Explorer

Wow! with all the technology available, it is not surprising that the little ones want to take advantage of that as well. I know my little girl (7 yrs old) understands a lot more about my cell phone than my husband does (lol).

LeapFrog has come with a newer version of their learning tablet. The LeapPad2 Explorer.

This device provides entertainment and a learning experience for the youngsters.

Although I definitely do not agree with the idea of allowing your kids to be all day long playing video games, watching TV and things like that, I consider that it is not a bad idea to provide them with cool ways to learn.

Now, like everything else, it is important that you do your due diligence and check out what type of toys and activities you expose your children to.

You can read on my lens some information that could give you a better picture of this learning tablet so you can decide if this is good for you and your kids. (You can check the lens titles below)

Mr Beams Night Light Motion Sensor

It is always nice to be able to see at night without leaving the overhead light on overnight. The night lights have become handy for this purpose, but the question is, what are the best night lights for you?

Well, it is a great option to have lights that are activated by motion detection, so you don't have to turn them on and off. It is also a plus if you don't need to hire an electrician to install them.

The Mr Beams Night Light Motion Sensor, were designed to offer the two features above. So yes there is no wiring required and of course they detect your movement when you enter a room.

I wrote a lens where I go more in detail about these night lights, so you can read the good, the bad and the ugly and see if these could be what you are looking for to illuminate your nights.
