EPAY debit cards – shop, make payments, and send money worldwide

September 16, 2007 by Tricia

I keep hearing about EPAY. Have you heard of it yet?

EPAY is a service similar in some ways to another popular service that many of us use called paypal. Similarities aside it appears to me that EPAY has a lot more services available worldwide. In fact if EPAY takes off it could become one of the most highly trafficked internet payment gateways in the world.

You’ll likely come across more and more online merchants who are using the services of EPAY to allow their clients to pay for goods or services. If you are not yet a member of EPAY you can still use the service to make a payment to the merchants EPAY account in order to buy a product, but in the long run it might be a great idea to go ahead and open a free EPAY account.

When you register with EPAY you’ll be able to transfer USD or EUR funds in a number of ways. You can use your EPAY account to pay for goods and services, accept money transfers or make your own bank wire transfers.

Members can sign up for debit cards which can be used virtually anywhere in the world where you would use ATM or credit cards on and offline.

Think about it. If you were away on holiday somewhere and you had funds in your EPAY account you’d be able to access cash using your EPAY debit card 24 hours a day. It works just like an e-wallet allowing you to access cash from anywhere in the world.

You could even use your EPAY debit card to send money to friends or relatives anywhere in the world too.

So how do you get money to your EPAY account? Simple. You can transfer it from your bank account, via egold or pecunix. Easy. Another feature of the EPAY service is the ability to make and receive payments using SMS on your mobile phone or by email. EPAY services certainly sound convenient don’t they?

I haven’t signed up for an account yet, but I expect that I will in the near future. Have you tried EPAY and or their debit cards yet?

Cool Parents Buy Bedding by VisionBedding

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

visionbedding.jpg

This is the time of year when many of us start to think about gifts for the holidays. Not only that, since we are indoors more often many of us begin to think of ways to redecorate our homes too.

If you are a parent you might be thinking of ways to change the style of one of your kids rooms. Perhaps you want to redecorate the baby room in a style more appropriate for your young child, or maybe you have a pre-teen and you’d like to give their room a more mature look? Certainly replacing the bedding will give a room a new fresh look.

Whenever I decide to give one of our bedrooms a new look I start with the bedding. I pick out a bedspread, or duvet with a lovely design and then I pick out accessories and even the wall color, if I’m repainting, using colors that I’ve picked from the new bedding. That way everything is beautifully co-ordinated.

One great place to visit when looking for bedding for teens is VisionBedding. They have a wide variety of unique designs from which to chose.

queencoralflower.jpg The bedding designs at VisionBedding are unique because it’s photo bedding. That’s right – photo bedding. There are several pre-made designs to chose from like the coral bedding included on the right, or you can personalize bedspreads, duvet covers, throw pillows, pillow shams and blankets with your own favorite photograph.

Wouldn’t you just be the coolest parent if you re-did your teenagers bedroom with some of the fantastic pre-made Teen Bedding designs from VisionBedding that reflected your teens favorite things such as sports, hobbies, animals or something else they really enjoy?

largequeenraceison.jpg Some of the pre-made teen bedding designs include car, BMX, basketball, butterfly, Asian, artistic, flower, race car, football, surfer, heart, horse, landscape, and teen girls bedding plus many more great styles.

If the pre-made bedding designs aren’t enough to chose from you can always upload a high quality digital photo or photos and have VisionBedding create custom bedding for you. You might choose from a collage of photos or one single photo to create a beautiful design on a bedspread, duvet or sham or pillow cover.

VisionBedding states that they strive to offer designs to fit anyones’ hobby, personality or style. With the ability to create your very own designs that statement has got to be true.

VisionBedding ships throughout the USA and yes even Canada. Since many of their products are custom design they are made one at a time as the orders come in so you can be assured of the quality.

So what are you waiting for? Go visit VisionBedding. Don’t you want to be one of the coolest parents around?

Camping? Keep your batteries charged with Brunton’s Solarroll

September 13, 2007 by Tricia

I’m sure you realize by now that I love the great outdoors. I certainly talk about gardening, my love of canoeing and the various road trips that we go on often enough. I don’t however talk much about camping.

This is mainly because I haven’t actually been camping for a number of years. My husband is not really the camping type. He wouldn’t mind roughing it in a tent or trailer on the outside of town, but the idea of a trip deep into the woods isn’t his thing. I’ll get him camping at some point though or I’ll go with some friends as I miss the experience a great deal.

I do know that some of you that read this blog are avid outdoors men and women. Camping, hiking and so on, on your vacations and during the weekends.

Whether you are an adventurer who enjoys camping in the wilderness for two to four weeks at a time like our friend who goes to Labrador every year, or a weekend camper, I’ll bet that you find it hard to give up all of life’s modern conveniences while in the wilderness.

When you go camping or hiking do you bring a camera, video camera, radio, ipod or another type of multimedia player along with you? I actually know of one camper who brings a small television with her when she goes off on a trip with her luxury trailer! Perhaps you carry your cellphone or a satellite phone when you go camping just in case something happens?

Have the batteries ever run dry on any of these items when you’ve been camping? Perhaps leaving you in a dangerous position due to your sudden lack of ability to contact others? Maybe the vehicle you drove to your camping site battery died leaving you unable to start your car or truck?

If any of these things have happened to you in the past, or you don’t like the idea of them happening on future camping excursions, you should consider purchasing the Brunton Solarroll 9. It’s a flexible solar module that will allow you to run or keep the batteries charged for many of the items that I’ve mentioned above.

bruntonsolarroll.gif The Brunton Solarroll 9 is a 9 watt solar module that only weighs 10.6 ounces. When you consider how heavy batteries are, especially if you would need to bring several with you to keep various electrical items running, 10.6 ounces sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Especially if you’re backpacking! The 12″ by 40″ module rolls up and can easily be stored with your camping equipment in it’s convenient storage tube.

The solar module is waterproof, UV transparent and is extremely durable as it’s made with Tefzel Fluoropolymer. Not only has the Brunton Solarroll been made to withstand harsh conditions, but it’s composed of amorphous solar cells which are effective in low light conditions. Perfect if it ends up raining or if it’s very cloudy during your camping trip.

The solarroll includes a vehicle outlet cable and a multi-linking cable which can be used to link multiple units together for even greater output. It even has reverse flow protection.

The max output for a single unit is 9 watts (15.4 volts) making it ideal for either charging digital and video cameras or cell phone batteries or running them directly via the solar module.

This is actually Brunton’s most popular product, and as a result of it’s popularity and remarkable performance Brunton will be expanding their line of flexible solar modules this year to include alternative sizes and outputs.

Did you know that Ed Viesturs will be using the Brunton Solarroll 9 when he attempts to complete his Endeavor 8000 on his final summit, Annapurna next Spring? You certainly can’t get a better endorsement of a product than that! If this experienced mountaineer is assured of the Solarroll’s reliability then it must be a good product.

I know that the next time I’m going camping I’ll most likely have one or two of my digital cameras with me, our HD video camera, a cell phone, flashlights and some form of multimedia player. It would certainly be handy to have a solar charger with me. Heck, if I had a Brunton Solarroll I’d even take it out with me whenever I went on my photo expeditions and on road trips.

If you want to learn more about Bruntons Solarroll 9 or shop for great deals on Camping Equipment visit the FunDeals4U.com website. They have a great selection of tools, boating, electronics and outdoor products to chose from and they are all well priced.

I can’t believe that Halloween is just around the corner

September 11, 2007 by Tricia

Can you believe it’s already almost mid-September? The kids are back to school, summers almost over and it’s getting cooler. Well, it’s getting a bit cooler here! The leaves on the trees will soon turn red, orange and yellow, lovely in their glorious flaming colors, then they will fall to the ground right around Halloween.

Yes, Halloween. It’ll soon be here, and if you enjoy celebrating the holiday it’s time to begin thinking about what kind of halloween costumes you and your friends or family might want to dress up in.

The last couple of years I haven’t done much for Halloween. Oh, we decorate our house. Some years we decorate more than others, but there’s always some decorations. We buy candy and treats to give out to the kids and occasionally we’ll dress up for Halloween.

I get a kick out of some of the kids Halloween costumes. They are so cute when they come to our door, often in groups of two to twelve! Yes, they do roam the streets in little packs, often with a parent or two in tow. Some kids are really shy and others quite bold. All seem to be quite pleased with themselves if you compliment them on their costumes.

I’ve noticed that some of the parents coming around with their children occasionally have infants with them. A few collect candy for their infants – which I don’t really understand since their babies are too young for most of the treats that are given out. Often when a parent has an infant with them on Halloween, usually while walking with an older child of course, their babies are dressed in infant Halloween costumes. I think those are the most adorable costumes of all. I’m certain that I’ve seen some babies dressed up as lady bugs and sunflowers. I love those costumes.

So what are you planning to dress up as this Halloween? Have you purchased costumes for your kids yet? Are you getting excited?
