Lenovo Enhanced Multimedia Remote with Keyboard

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Lenovo for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Lenovo Enhanced Multimedia Remote with keyboard is a great product to have for your computer hooked up to your multimedia center. The keyboard is no different then using a QWERTY keyboard on a cell phone or the PS3 keyboard you can attach to the PS3 controller. It is easy to hold and there are no problems with the wireless signal. I have used a wireless mouse before, which would cut in and out jumping all over the screen. This is definitely the way to go if you don't want the hassle of a wireless keyboard and laser or roll ball mouse. This product has made getting rid of cable and using all of the online ways to watch my favorite TV shows a breeze.

The Specifics (from the Lenovo website)

•    2.4G wireless keyboard and OFN (optical finger navigation) with Slide Bar
•    Pocket-sized keyboard & mouse in One hand-held device
•    Ultra-small USB receiver - plug and play, no driver install
•    Black-light keyboard with on/off switch to save battery life
•    Up to 3 month Battery life (two AA)
•    Range up to 30 feet
•    Compatible with Windows® 2000 ,XP, Vista® & Windows® 7

The addition of a BACKLIT Keyboard convinced me to get this over the original version which can be found at significant discount. I purchased this device for my wife for her PC viewing usage. She really likes and uses this device a lot. She does most of her TV /Movies viewing on her PC that I set-up for her to watch shows it has a very nice far range.

I recommend this product for anyone who wants to navigate a computer from a distance and doesn't need to do a lot of typing. It is also extremely easy to switch around to use on multiple computers.

Overall, I am very happy I added it to my setup. Plugged in and worked right away. Best alternative to a full-sized keyboard/mouse I've found and for the price it can't be beat.

Online Backup

No matter what your business or the size of your company, your computer data is valuable and your back up data should be stored in a location that is remote and secure. Online backup services work by monitoring your company's computers and making an encrypted off-site copy when new files are created.

The difference between online backup and other forms of back up, such as backing up to CD or flash drive, is that if you have a disaster, your onsite backup product may be destroyed or stolen also. Online backup provides security for your important data.

Backing up important data on your computer is urgent due to risk of loss. Sudden power surges, fire, vandalism or theft may destroy your computer and if so, the data files are lost unless they are backed up. Backing up conventionally, such as to a CD or external hard drive, runs the risk of losing that medium also, since most people keep this backup in the same location. Another issue is remembering to make the backup. Online backup is automatic. Once you purchase online backup service, you simply set it up to automatically back up the files you choose at the time of day you choose. The remote location backs up your files automatically for future retrieval.

The top online backup offers the best of both worlds. In a time when people only had a memory stick storing their whole life, online backup did not seem to be an option, but now everyone is enjoying the benefits of securing files up in the cloud.

I guess I'm just in a widget kind of mood lately!

Whenever anyone visits a website, that website identifies the visitor's Internet connection by a code known as an IP address. Every computer has a unique IP address. What most people don't know is that the IP address itself contains all sorts of information about the visitor such as the physical location of that person's Internet provider (which is usually the same city as the visitor).

copy and paste the code below:

Join at Walgreens Prescription Savings Club Now!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am upset to hear that many of Walgreen’s normal customers that refill their monthly prescriptions are going to have to look for a new pharmacist to refill their medications. I guess for the last year, Walgreens and Express Script have tried to negotiate a new contract and have been unsuccessful. That means people using Express Scripts as their pharmacy benefits manager can pay for their prescriptions with cash at Walgreen pharmacies, but your prescription plan will not be recognized there.

So, if you get your prescriptions filled at Walgreen Co.'s stores, and your prescription plan uses Express Scripts, you likely know by now that you're facing a big change: Walgreen's won't take your Express Scripts card.

Are you or anyone you know affected by this?  I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Many customers, especially those that have established a close relationship with their Walgreen's pharmacist, are being forced to drive farther to get their medications as well as pay more and worry about "banker's hours". Walgreens has more drive-thru and 24hour locations than anyone else. And it is this care for their customers that have prompted Walgreens to offer a significant discount on their Walgreens Prescription Savings Club for the month of January. You can join during their special promotion for only $5. If you have a family, you can sign up the family for only $10. With this membership, you have access to savings on more than 8,000 brand name and all generic medications. Normal yearly fees for the savings club cost $25 per person or $35 per family.

Keep up with the latest news and updates; you can follow Walgreens on Twitter and Walgreens on Facebook.

Ceramic Tiles

Are you looking for an inexpensive way to add a new look to your kitchen? Are you tired of seeing stains on your kitchen walls from food and grease? Installing a ceramic tile backsplash will spruce up walls. It can also easily be cleaned with a little soap and water.

No matter how vigilante you are in your home; moisture from your kitchen and bathrooms will get in to your wallpaper and consequently will cause problems. It is for this reason that most interior designers will recommend Ceramic Tiles, a practical, easy-to-clean alternative which will last the tests of time and still allow for an equally attractive appearance.

Café Well: The Social Network to get Well and Stay Well

This post brought to you by Cafe Well. All opinions are 100% mine.

I believe that today we live in a social networking world.  That being said, I recently became aware of Cafe Well, a social network that offers wellness programs.

 

When signing up at Cafe Well, you can signify specific health problems you are trying to address and/or various topics you are interested in. I was actually happy to see “Alternative Medicine” as one of the options. You can join “Challenges,” “Groups and “Communities” once in the system. You can check out the latest health news. You can use a “Symptom Checker” or “Health Encyclopedia” (I’m thinking I might actually use these for some Eat Drink Better articles). And, of course, you can invite friends!

                                                                                                      

They have a program called Race to the Moon that aims to get members more fit and active by walking or running through offering FREE wireless pedometers which tracks their steps and rewards them for milestones and total steps.  You have to be a member of Health America to be eligible to win the HUGE prizes and score your free pedometer.

Here’s what participants are saying:

“This race has opened my eyes to my second chance. This is where we turn things around. This is where we get off the couch, go outside, and enjoy life. I always say we do puzzles and board games as a family because it's cheap, but taking a walk with my daughter is free. So, starting tomorrow we are going to take a walk after dinner. Then the next day, and the next day, and the next.”

“Because of the Actiped, I walk up and down all the steps at work. Elevator? What is that now?”

“The program has finally gotten me on the treadmill to attempt running; I’m trying!”

It would be fun to participate in a challenge geared toward improving eating habits and I must be more consistent about my walking.

I hope you join and look for me.
