Who Offers Mobile Text Messaging And How Can You Get Involved?

Up until recently there were very few ways of “getting into mobile” in terms of using mobile text messaging as a medium for businesses to increase their bottom line. For a start there simply weren’t many companies offering mobile text messaging, and these were really only US based meaning it was not a global opportunity. Of those that did offer a service, the costs incurred in using them were so prohibitively expensive that only large Fortune 500 type companies could really become involved. Anyone smaller simply couldn’t afford it.

Now there are companies in a number of non-US countries that offer mobile text message marketing as well as greater competion in the US itself as more and more companies appear. This has of course meant that prices for using a text messaging companies services have dropped dramatically recently, meaning the little guy who runs a sandwich shop across the street can now afford to take advantage of this fantastic new marketing tool the same as the big dogs.

If you type in say “Mobile Text Marketing” with or without quotes into a google search you will get a plethora of different companies websites returned in the results all offering a range of services that are in some way connected with text message marketing. In its most basic form, each company allows you to sign up to one of their text messaging plans that vary in cost depending on the size of your business and the number of texts you will require sending to your customers each month. Make sure that the company you are interested in using supports bulk SMS messaging in your country.

Once you have established that they do, you can sign up for as little as 100 texts per month right up to 100k+ and the price per text can be as low as a few cents. Once you have signed up you can begin sending out broadcast texts to customers whose cell phone numbers you have stored in a database. This would initially be a message thanking them for joining your text “club” and allowing you to contact them.

If you don’t have a database of past customers to contact you will need to tell your existing ones that you now offer a text messaging service. This means advertising it in as many different ways as possible. But you must give people a reason toopt in to your service, so give away or offer something of value such as a coupon,discount or some kind of incentive that shows them how joining will make life easier for them.

Most companies make the process of getting involved an easy one. You can learn about how to sign up with a text messaging service by going here.

Sole E25 Elliptical

Any Home Gym piece of equipment such as an Elliptical trainer priced under the $2500 mark usually turns out tobe a huge and expensive disappointment. Mostly reasonably priced trainers are clunky and poorly constructed and really not worth the saving you make for the sacrifice on quality. The phrase “you get what you pay for” springs to mind.
However, there is the exception to every rule and where budget trainers are concerned The Sole e25 Elliptical trainer is that exception.

Here is how the manufacturers describe it:-

Reviewed as really the best elliptical you can buy under $1000, the Sole e25 Elliptical is a pretty and highly functional feature-packed entry level machine. It has a user-friendly electronic console with a bright blue back-lit LCD display. You can list to music while you work out with an MP3 connection and built-in speakers.It also comes with a water bottle holder and a cooling fan.

The e25 is a front drive elliptical with oversize pedals that run on railings thus providing a natural, fluid action from the whisper-quiet drive system. This system incorporates a 26lb. flywheel and high gear ratio, not usually found on comparable models. This makes it one of the smoothest elliptical trainers in its price range.

For maximum diversity in your work out the trainer has a power incline feature offering a total of 16 differing levels of resistance. This is achieved by pressing a button to incline the ramp to the desired angle and is fully adjustable from a level position to an angle of 30 degrees. This means you can individually target all the major lower body muscle groups.

The handlebars have built-in pulse sensors for monitoring heart rate and an optional chest strap can be used for accurate heart rate monitoring.

The over-sized foot pedals are uniquely designed for maximum comfort with a 2 degree inward slope which reduce ankle and knee stress that is common in other elliptical machines.The foot beds themselves articulate for optimal user comfort and performance, running on real wheels that ride on heavy duty rails-a feature usually only found on more expensive models.

As with any product, different people will have a differing opinions on it depending on their experience with it. Some will say its great, some its ok and some won’t like it. Apart from the features and benefits described above its useful to weigh up the pros and cons of any product.

Here is our assessment of the Sole e25 Elliptical trainer:-

Pros:

It has a useful selection of 10 different workout programs.
The 20-inch stride length means that the e25 is appropriate for taller users. This is rarely more than 15-18  inches on machines found under  $2000.
The e25 has an “eddy current” braking system usually only ever incorporated into higher end models.
It durability and stability and wide range of features can really only be bettered by the higher end models in Sole’s own range of Ellipticals.
Backed by Sole’s 1-year labor and 3-year parts coverage.

Cons:

May not be suitable for users with very rigorous workout regimes.
Some find that assembly can be a challenge.
Any negatives are mostly  a consequence of comparing it to Sole’s other higher priced machines eg. its display size and functionality.

All things considered the Sole e25 Elliptical is the ideal entry level trainer. There is no more superior product on the market for this price. When you exercise with this machine you will get a complete and safe workout every time you use it. From the comfort of your own home you will be able to get into better shape without any of the common knee injury worries associated with cycling or running.Once you have the Sole e25 Elliptical trainer assembled and ready to go it will be worth every cent.

This superb piece of equipment can be ordered at a discount directly from the manufacturer, Sole, here:-

Square Foot Brighton Gardening | Gardeners Brighton

Al lot of houses in the cehtre of Brighton are small cottage-style properties and tend to have a fairly small back garden. This can make it difficult for a Brighton gardener to grow plants and vegetables in a small space. But there is a solution-Square Foot Gardening.

Square foot gardening offers an ideal solution for Brighton gardeners. It is also perfect for busy people, and those with arthritis or other physical limitations. If you are looking for the easiest way to garden, this method offers real advantages. Square foot gardening can even be done in raised beds, or in containers, to make it easy on your back.

Like wide bed gardening, you get a higher yield because more of the actual garden space is used for the actual vegetable plants.  Since you can water only the actual garden bed, you save on watering costs as well.   After the raised bed is built and the soil put in, the bed is then divided into 1 square foot sections by either tape or twine. Each of these squares can be considered a plot.

Choose a nice, sunny spot to place your garden, and then decide what plants to grow. How many plants you have, and what types, depends on the recommended spacing between plants which you’ll find on the back of the seed packets. Depending on the needs of the specific seedlings, you can plant one, four, nine or even sixteen plants in each square foot.

Square Foot Gardening also makes you see your garden differently. Instead of thinking you need a large, rectangular bed to grow veggies in, you start to notice all the smaller spaces and 1 or 2 foot wide strips where you can squeeze in a lot of vegetables.

Soil mixture for square foot gardening consists of equal thirds of compost, peat moss and coarse vermiculite    Plants are more expensive than seeds, so I now seed most of our garden. Start some inside like tomatoes and peppers and direct sow corn, beans, peas, spinach, carrots and beets. If you buy plants, try to  buy from a local grower,   As plants go to seed, clean out their square and replant with a different variety to cycle the nutrients in the soil.  Once planted, square foot gardening experts say to water with a bucket of sun-warmed water to get the garden started. Use a hose to regularly water after that. Also tend to weeding, which should be easier than for in-ground plants. But only kneel beside the box, never step on the dirt in the box.

This garden can grow a lot by planting early crops, then intermediate crops, then harvesting the early crops and replacing them with late crops.  The plants are so close together weeding is kept to a minimum.  Water is necessary, but if compost is added each season, the soil is kept fertile.  Remember that most vegetables require at least six hours of sun so the location you chose must get that.  Otherwise, you can place a square foot garden almost anywhere!

Here a good post for any Brighton Gardener who wants to make full use of a small plot. Check it out at http://gardenersbrighton.com/square-foot-brighton-gardening/

Several seaside cottages can be found for those who prefer staying near the seafront for an easy stroll along the beach at the end of a busy day.  The Garden apartments in a Period House located in Dublin is such a famous getaway cottage which offer cultural, historical, or vibrant nightlife in just a few walk away.

The holiday rental at the Yeats County offers tourists a scenic view of the Benbulben Mountain contrasted with the serenity of the Atlantic Ocean, also recommends historic drives to W.B. Yeats Grave, Mullaghmore, Lissadell House, and Glencar Waterfall.

The cottage house at Dingle Co. Kerry, Island is located in the heart of the beautiful Dingle Peninsula.  The town thrives around a fishing port which earned its fame as the residence of the bottle nose dolphin “Fungi”. The Dingle Peninsula is also known for its beautiful scenery, perfect beaches and archaeological legacy with many shops and pubs playing with vibrant traditional music.  With all these in store for the traveler, the The Glen Cottage is the ideal destination to enjoy all that the place has to offer.

About five kilometers from Dingle, the Glen Cottage can be found nested in a quiet countryside. Just newly built in 2005 this cottage with its five bedrooms has been equipped to the highest standards for a very convenient and relaxing stay in Ireland.

The County Wicklow, known as the “Garden of Ireland”, offers a family-owned horse riding holiday for the group, the couple or for the individual tourist.  In here, one can find pleasure in riding good-bred horses amongst the mountains and the forest.

The household cottage, located in Glenealy in Co. Wicklow, is a privately owned 10 acre property along the hilltop overlooking the valley below, against a picturesque mountain backdrop with breathtaking panoramic views. This perfect location provides an easy access to the adjacent forest with its safe mountain treks and ranging paths that provides a perfect  walk around the countryside for the hiker.  Not only that, the are contains a horse yard, including three large fields for the horses, and a sand arena.
