Earn money while you shop
TD FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Black Have you heard about Big Crumbs?
I’ve been using the site for a couple of years when I go shopping at eBay, at Target, shopping for gifts or shoes or clothing.
Big Crumbs allows you to earn the “affiliate” commissions that are paid by each individual company they represent (and there are a LOT of them) every time you buy something!
It might sound too good to be true, especially because it’s free and easy, but I’ve been doing it for quite awhile. I’ve received checks, myself, and it’s based on a sound business model.
Whenever you shop at places you already shop at (such as eBay, Gap, Old Navy, Circuit City, Target and many, many more), you can earn commissions that are set aside by those companies.
Also, whenever anybody you refer shops through Big Crumbs (at any of the vast array of online stores), we get paid too! Isn’t that awesome?
It gets even better: Whenever anyone referred by our referrals shops, we can also get paid. We can actually get paid on referrals up to 5 generations away.
Don’t worry; it’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s just a referral program that lets us take advantage of what some call “viral marketing.” It’s free to join and very easy to use. And it’s based on a real service that helps us save when we shop.
You see, BigCrumbs.com is paid a marketing commission by partner retailers, and they use that to pay cash back and referral commissions to us. Super easy!
So, I’ve told you about this site, you stop by Big Crumbs, then shop just like you normally do, but now you save cash. I also get a little cash for telling you about BigCrumbs.com.
Then, if you tell more people, YOU can get paid when they shop (and so can I) and so on. So, we can actually earn cash each time thousands of people shop (if we keep telling more people about it).
This is a great way to earn a little money every time we shop. In fact, I bought plane tickets through a Big Crumbs retailer and earned a nice commission back. It’s really fun to earn money for buying things for a change!
Do Your Feet Hurt?
Make sure you and your children have the right kind of shoe that will support running, walking, and your weight.
Most people suffer from some kind of foot pain throughout the day. There are many treatments and tips to get rid of serious foot pain relief if you follow expert advice.
Are your feet in agony? From poor fitting shoes, to inherited toe woes, foot pain is no laughing matter. We rarely take care of our feet until the pain has become so severe we can’t ignore it any longer.
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, 84% of women have suffered from at least one painful foot problem.
Do you purchase shoes because they’re cute or fashionable? You wouldn’t think about putting shoes that hurt on your child’s foot! Don’t do it on yours, either!
Here are six of the most common ailments women experience and smart tips to help alleviate their foot pain. Take this advice and you’ll soon feel as though you’re walking on air!
How To Put Your Best Foot Forward:
Disclaimer: These foot ailments are the most common, but for serious foot pain, please consult your podiatrist or a podiatric surgeon.
1. Do you have Plantar Fascitis? This feels like a sharp stabbing pain in your heel and it is worse when you get up in the morning.
· Cause – The plantar fascia is a that thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot from heel to toe and people with all types of insteps (arches) are prone to this irritation. If you wear very flat or really high heels, the problem will get worse.
· A shoe should support the arch. If not, the fascia will stretch and that will cause further inflammation. Does your Achilles tendon feel tight? That is also one of the symptoms.
· Treatment – Choose shoes with some structure. Pairs of shoes that have some arch support and enclose your heel will be much better than flip flops or flats. Avoid going barefoot as much as possible.
· Stretch Your Foot In the Mornings – When you sleep, your plantar fascia is relaxed. It gets a real wake-up call of tension when your first put your weight on it. Before beginning your busy day, wrap a towel around your feet and pull the toes back, gently stretching the tendons.
· Reduce Swelling – Using a plastic bottle filled with water, freeze it, and then roll it under your foot for a few minutes to relieve the pain.
· Consult a podiatrist for custom orthotics – I know you may not think it makes a difference, but these special inserts are molded specifically to your foot’s shape! This will help control foot motion and decrease the daily strain on the plantar fasciae when added to the inside of your shoe.
2. Ingrown Toenails? This feels like a throbbing sensation and is most often located on the side of one of your big toes. Is it swollen and red?
· Cause – When the nail edge grows sideways into the skin of the toe, it forms a toenail that is growing inward instead of straight outward. The pressure on the nail bites into the surrounding skin and can really cause some pain or infection. If your shoes are too tight or narrow around the toe area, you are at risk for getting an ingrown toenail. If you cut your toenails incorrectly, you could also get an ingrown toenail.
· Treatment – Don’t wear pointy toed shoes. If you’re going to be walking a lot, carry your dress shoes and walk in structured walking shoes.
· Use moisture cream on your feet daily – Reduce callus formation by keeping feet well rubbed and moisturized. Before wearing shoes, make sure the lotions and creams are absorbed and your feet are dry. When a callus develops, it causes more pressure on the ingrown nail or other parts of your foot.
· Cut toenails strait across. Don’t file the corners down. If you get pedicures, make sure they follow these procedures, don’t assume they will or know what they’re doing. Choose a reputable salon or go to a podiatrist.
· See a podiatrist if you think you have an infection! Don’t delay! No “self-surgery” as digging around on your toenails or skin can lead to serious infection and deeper injury to the nail or foot.
3. Bursitis – This feels like a painful bump and is located on the back of the heel.
· Cause – This can occur when you have an enlarged heel bone. If you wear stiff-backed shoes, this can worsen the bump further, inflaming the bursa, which is a protective sac of fluid.
· Treatment – Wear shoes with open backs, until the irritation has lessened, or all the time, whichever is necessary.
· Use Dr. Scholl’s Foam Cushions (donut shaped pad) – Place this pad over the bump to alleviate pressure and use ice at the end of the day to soothe the inflammation.
· Consult a Podiatrist – If you have chronic and constant pain in this area of the foot, consult a podiatrist for advice and possible removal of the bump.
4. Stress Fracture? This feels like a tender area, frequently on the front part of the foot, along the 2nd or 3rd metatarsal, the long bones in the top middle of the foot.
· Cause – Any repetitive stress on the bone, like walking and running on hard surfaces and while wearing shoes that are not absorbing enough of the shock.
· Treatment – See a doctor! You will need a surgical shoe while you heal. That shoe has a hard bottom that will keep the affected bones from bending.
· Be Patient – Stress fractures heal in about 4 – 8 weeks, normally. Don’t over stress the foot, no running or long walks.
· Prevent re-injuries – Keep your weight at a healthy level and wear supportive shoes.
5. Bunions – These are sensitive and protruding lumps or bumps at the heads of the big-toe joints and can pull your toe to an angle.
· Cause – These might be hereditary, and can be developed if you have low arches, or your feet tend to roll inward. Your bone actually moves as the bump seems to get larger.
· Pointy toed shoes can make the bunions worsen.
· Treatment – Shoe choice is critical. Best choices are shoes with a wide toe area and a lower heel but not flat.
· Gel Pads – Placing a gel pad over the bunions to cushion them and reduce the pain is helpful.
6. Neuroma – This is a shooting pain in the ball of the foot.
· Cause – This pain is caused by pressure on the nerve in the underside of the foot. Swelling can occur. Narrow, pointed shoes put more pressure on an already irritated nerve so pick shoes with wider toe room.
· Treatment – Wide toe areas, and low heels.
· Use anti-inflammatories. Ibuprofen is good but if you don’t experience relief see a podiatrist.
· Surgery – For chronic neuroma that doesn’t get better, surgery such as cryotreatment can help . Your podiatrist can make that determination.
Take care of your feet, they need to carry you through the rest of your life!
Springer Spaniels Think They Are People
Springer Spaniel is a good breed to consider bringing into the home if you are looking for a dog that is easy to take care of, that has a good temperament, and that has a reputation for enjoying the company of people. The Springer Spaniel is an ideal dog for country or city life. Springers are people pleasers. They love to be around people, and they are energetic, loving companions. Many owner find humor in their energetic and playful animals that bring a smile to their faces. Springers are excellent all around dogs. Good training can bring excellent results in many fields, including agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are wonderful with children and are a perfect choice for families. Adult supervision of children around any breed of dog is necessary to ensure the dog doesn’t become irritated.
Springers are quite friendly, and eager to please their owners. There are people who use the sweet temperament of a Golden Retriever to describe the Springer’s personality. They are happy to just be with their family even if that means just lying around the house. They are very flexible and acclimate easily to various activity levels, as long as they are allowed to be with people as much as possible. Being a long breeder of a variety of puppies, we can attest to their absolute friendliness.
Normally weighing between 35-55 pounds at adulthood this is the English Springer Spaniel breed which is medium in size. Springers can remain in good health most of their lives which can span 10 to 14 years. Springers which are field bred have shorter hair and are generally more active than the show type Springers. Both field bred and show bred Springer Spaniels have docked tails. The difference is, the field bred dogs tail is docked longer. The reason for this is that the tail is an important hunting tool It acts as an alert signal for the hunter.
A purebred English Springer Spaniel has a coat color of either liver and white or black and white. The tri-color coloration of black, liver, and white, is quite rare and will usually occur when the sire and dam are both tri-color. They are also known for having a white blaze on their faces usually down the middle.
Bred to be natural hunter, English Springer Spaniels, have alot of energy so you can expect them to enjoy running aroung, sniffing out “game” and retrieving things for you. Springers love the water and would enjoy spending the entire day outside with their owners as they are not especially affected by weather. Because they are an old breed, they have been a favorite canine for many years. These dogs are the oldest but best hunting breed around.
I hope this explains why springers are a wonderful fit for a variety of situations, lifestyles and families. We certainly believe and have experienced how these loving animals can find a place in anyone’s heart and home.

Whatever Happened To The Stomach Vacuum?
How about a stomach exercise you can do while watching TV or sitting in front of a computer at work. This is an exercise that will tighten your abs in a dramatic way in just a few short weeks. It’s not uncommon for people to lose 2 to 3 inches in that time. The stomach vacuum is just that exercise. It’s a long forgotten stomach flattening exercise that can be done just about at any time and anywhere.
The main muscle that is engaged by this exercise is the transverse abdominal muscle which runs horizontally underneath you oblique muscles. The transverse abdominis muscle is basically what holds everything in, so by doing this one simple exercise you are tightening the abs and shrinking the waistline at the same time. Another reason to strengthen the transverse ab muscle is that it helps to eliminate lower back pain by stabilizing the spine and pelvis areas.
So what is the stomach vacuum? It’s pretty much what it sounds like. If you have ever sucked your stomach in for any reason, then you were basically doing the stomach vacuum. Now to actually do this stomach exercise correctly you need to suck your tummy in and picture pulling your belly button up and to the back toward your spine. Try to pull it in just as far as you can go and remember to breathe. It doesn’t matter if your sitting, kneeling or standing on your head. The stomach vacuum can be done in any position.
To start with try and hold it for 15 seconds then relax for about a minute. Now repeat it 2 more times. Over time you will want to increase the length of time you hold the vacuum position and increase the number of sets you do as well. Another option with this particular tummy flattening exercise is just to do it through out the day. Since you are not noticeably moving around you can sneak a set or two in at any time.
Do these everyday over the next couple of weeks and you will be absolutely amazed by the results.

5 Top Commercial Tanning Beds Features & 6 Tips to Buying at Wholesale
For most salon owners, tanning bed technology advances so quickly that they find themselves behind the curve straining to keep up. Here are five of the hottest features in Level 1 & Level 2 tanning beds and six steps to getting them at the best price.
1. 360° Tanning
Some commercial tanning beds are breaking new ground in tanning bed design. They have eliminated the walls, just beautiful open space. This is the type of bed we’ll be seeing more of in the next decade for sure.
2. Suspended Acrylics
This is another new feature that is usually part of the open design beds mentioned above. The suspended acrylic bed allows for a comfortably curved, ergonomic tanning experience.
3. Integrated Audio
We live in world where personal audio is a must have. It is only natural for tanners to want to listen to their own music while tanning and many beds allow them to plug in their iPod –or mp3 player– and listen without earphones getting in the way.
4. Shoulder Lamps
Only standup tan booths get that “absolutely everywhere” tan but many tanning beds are including shoulder lamps to take the horizontal tan to new areas.
5. All Metal Frame
A steady stream of customers, constant cleaning and regular maintenance sessions can a toll on commercial tanning beds. An all metal structure holds up to the abuse, last longer and makes the tanning bed nearly indestructible.
Buying at the Lowest Price
Now, you want the best price on these features, right? Of course you do. While there is no one “store”, online or offline that has the lowest price –like a Wal-Mart for tanning beds– there are a few purchasing options that will yield you the best deal on tanning beds.
Step 1 – Determine the types of tanning beds your salon needs. Let’s say you have decided that you need one standup tanning booth and one higher-end face lamp bed.
Step 2 – Now, investigate brands and features of those types of tanning systems and compare published prices and special offers. Study well and know your stuff!
Step 3 – Contact 3 sales reps and begin to negotiate. NOTE: The idea here is NOT to pit one sales rep against the other and “force” the lowest offer. Just be up front, let each rep know this is how you make your buying decision and ask them to see what they can do for you.
Step 4 – Don’t rush into a purchase. This method takes time but it will get you the best price or terms on any tanning bed, whether its a commercial bed or for home use.
Step 5 – Be flexible. Sometimes the tanning bed rep can’t meet the price of another distributor but can offer something else, like 0% financing or an extended warranty which, in effect, makes his deal better.
Step 6 – Finally, once you have made your decision, call up that distributor and ask the final killer question: “Is that the best you can do?” You may be surprised at what gets thrown in just before you seal the deal.
Compare Camera Price On Top Models
The rules for buying a good camera go far beyond finding the features that you want. Obviously you will want a camera to fulfil certain criteria, but unless you are a professional photographer, most cameras you look at these days do far more than you could possibly use in a lifetime.
As with most areas of technology, prices for cameras go up and down, but a good one does not necessarily have to cost a fortune. Not getting the absolute top of the range camera is not the end of the world, and quite frankly, a camera with such high specifications will do far more than we will ever need from a camera.
The best thing to do at the outset is to make a list of the essential features that you require. Then you can start your research in earnest, and find out what is available and what is on offer. With the range of cameras available today, you have a great chance of finding what you want at a price that you can afford. And to this end, the Internet is your friend.
And if you cannot find a camera in your budget, take another look at your list of features. Try and see if any of the features you thought were essential are things that you would actually make use of. Things sometimes seem like good ideas, but in the cold light of day, many of the features you think of as essential are more likely to be peripheral, and in some cases, a waster of money.
It is certainly worth bearing in mind that some cameras with fantastic features are not new. Cameras that are a couple of years old will have reduced substantially in price, and by choosing one of these, you can wonderful cameras for a fraction of their original cost. It is also worth bearing in mind that some of these cameras may have only been upgraded in certain areas, areas in which you are not concerned. You need to be aware, therefore, how important it is that you undertake your research carefully.
Here are some great ideas for cameras that do not cost the earth but offer great features, yet still come within a reasonable budget. One of the best travel digital cameras on the market is the Panasonic DMC TZ5 which is light and fits in your pocket, yet features one of the best camera lenses around at the moment. The Nikon D90 price is a great feature rich camera that will take beautiful pictures. Canon produce some of the best digital slr cameras around They are renowned throughout the world not only for quality, but for value. One such camera is the Canon Digital Rebel XSi which ticks all the boxes for quality and for performance.
In addition, you will find some excellent resources to help you compare camera prices at these sites too.

Home Mortgage Refinancing
Homeowners refinance a home mortgage have a few options for doing this. Here are some things to consider.
Fixed vs Adjustable Rates
A typical fixed rate example has a fifteen or thirty year term and a fixed rate. Many homeowners like this home mortgage refinancing option because the consumer knows that his interest rate will not change during the course of the loan. The fifteen-year term is a comfortable timeframe for many customers as well, although a thirty year term can also be the better choice for some. Some consumers are more attracted to an adjustable rate mortgage loan. This option can actually cost less in the long run. However, it is a bit of a gamble. If interest rates increase, so does your home mortgage loan rate. If you can afford it if rates increase, and factor in the possibility of higher rates, then to refinance home loans with an adjustable rate can save money. And if the rates are in your favor, this option can really help with your monthly expenses over the course of time.
Costs To Refinance Your Home Mortgage
Of course, there are charges for a refinance home loan. At times the costs outweigh the benefits. However, oftentimes you can save a significant amount of money throughout the term of the loan. When consumers refinance home loans, they are not simply reducing your payments or changing your interest rates. This process consists of paying off the original loan in full. The refinanced loan is completely new in spite of the fact that you have been making payments for the same property. Since the loan is brand new according to the lender, it is subject to the same fees, points and other fees you paid for your initial mortgage agreement.
There is another significant fee that many homeowners do not consider when they try to get a home mortgage refinancing loan. Pre-payment penalties can be pretty costly, and you should not get a loan that includes them. You can check with your lender and with the regulations in your state to see if the pre-payment penalties apply to your specific loan or not.
The process of finding the right home mortgage refinancing package does require some preparation and homework. However, you can find a great deal that will pay off over time.
