Politics has been one my main interests since I was pretty young and I have been a little active in a political party called the Greens. I think it is important to take part in political discussions so one are somewhat a part of the democracy, as voting every second or fourth year, in my opinion, is not enough.

A website that lets you take part in discussing politics is Actual Politics. This is a mainly American website where registered users write political articles from their point of view. The website itself is neither liberal nor conservative, but let all voices be heard and it realize that writers never are subjective.
The way it works is that you register at their site (the registration process is very simple and worked flawlessly) and then you can start publishing articles. The editors has to approve your article before it ends up on the site.
As a reader you can rate the different articles by what kind of slant it has, the quality and if you agree or not with the content of the article. You can easily discuss each article as they are a linked to a forum that Actual Politics is running. In the forum you can connect with other people that are interested in discussing politics.

Actual Politics seems like a great site if you are interested in American politics and you want to read articles from all sides of the political spectrum.

After I moved into my new home I have been sleeping on a cheap and thin mattress. Because of the lousy mattress my back has been hurting quite a bit. So now I have decided to invest in a quality mattress to fix this problem. After all, we spend a lot of time sleeping on a mattress so why not make it pleasurable. I am also worried that later in life I will get serious back problems if I sleep on a bad mattress.

A company selling some interesting mattresses is Sleep-Comfort.com. They are selling something called sleep comfort bed. It is basically adjustable mattresses that are made to best fit your body. With the help of wireless control you can simply adjust the mattress in what position you want it to be in. Some mattresses from Sleep-Comfort.com also include a massaging system that sound very good for your back. Their mattresses come in many different sizes from a single bed to enormous king sized beds where you can sleep like a king.

With the mattress you get a lifetime warranty so one should not worry about the quality of the mattresses. You also get a 90 days to find out if you are really happy with the mattress. If you are not, you can simply return it within 90 days or swap it for another model.

A few years ago I used to rock climb several times a week and my body was in a pretty good shape, but then I moved away from all my rock climbing friends and I worked out less and less. The lack of training combined with a lot of time in front of my PC have deteriorated my body.
Recently I have started to run, do push ups and sit ups, to get my body back into a better shape again. This training seem to be helping quite a bit, especially my ability to run longer and longer. I am having a bit more trouble with the sit ups and push ups as I often forget to do them. A thing that could help me with this problem is getting some kind of training system or machine.

A device called Flex Belt can help you with training your stomach muscles. They way it works that is that you put the device belt around your stomach. The flex belt uses something called EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) to strengthen your stomach muscles. You only have to use it 30 minutes every day and it works on all muscles in the abdomen. The cool thing is that the belt can be used when doing other stuff so in theory you can actually watch TV and train your stomach at the same time.
The device is cleared by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration in USA) so it seems safe to use.

A device like this might be the solution I have been looking for instead of doing countless sit ups every day.

My new house were totally empty when we moved into it about a month ago. We have still not completely filled our home with furniture as we care about how the end design will look. One option we are looking into is making the whole interior design look very modern and stylistic. Then we have to shop a lot of new furniture because what we own now look pretty outdated.

A place selling modern furniture is ModernLineFurniture.com. They sell a wide variety of different modern furniture and accessories, from beds to sofas to living rooms to pillows. You can easily browse their different types of furniture in a sidebar that gives you a good oversight over all the different products they have to offer.
They also offer customized sectional sofas that will fit perfectly into any home. Within each section you can browse their stock by price or style.

This means they are able to ship your order very fast. They also offer a fixed shipping price so you can save a good deal of money on shipping if you have a big order.

In my new home in southern Norway we are thinking about doing some refurbishing because the house looks a bit old and could use a new and more modern interior design. A new design would both make our home look better and improve the value of the house.
One nice item that would fit our home is a Copper Sink. I like the designs on them with their pretty unique color and the way the metal looks.
We could have some nice hand hammered Copper Sinks in both our bathroom and kitchen as the copper look would fit good with the rest of the interior design in our home.

A company selling copper sinks is Copper Sinks Online (coppersinksonline.com). They have a lot of different sinks of high quality at wholesale prices. Since they are selling the sinks directly they have very competitive prices. Their products include Copper Kitchen Sinks, bathroom sinks, bar sinks and much more. They also sell other accessories like tubs, bathroom furniture, vessels, mirrors and tubs.

They even have a section on their website where you can give them feedback to improve their website and their services.

I have been thinking about putting up some kind of presentation for my knitted and crafted works as a way of promoting my art. There are several ways of making such presentations from a simple PowerPoint to a video done by a professional studio. It all depends on your budget and what kind of audience you are targeting.

A company called Richter Studios can help with different types of presentations. They are a Chicago Video Production company that specialize in producing videos, interactive presentations and other presentation services.
One example of the services they are offering is professional video recording that they can do at any location or in a studio. They can help you with everything from actors to lighting. After the video is shot they can add special effects in many formats like 2D and 3D. They can even add these special effects if you already have a video. Special effects can often add a magic touch to your video and make it look extra special for your audience.

Other services that Richter Studios offer are upgrading websites to more modern standards, making CD’s and DVD’s, programming in different languages like PHP, HTML, SQL, XML and much more.

As this company has over 10 years of experience in the business and has helped their customers in getting one million dollar in new sales, it sounds like a safe and experienced company to deal with.

As I have mentioned before on this blog I really want to get myself a GPS (Global Positioning System) device. A GPS will make it more convenient for me when I am out tracking in the forest, out fishing with my boat (it would be great to know the exact spots where there are tons of fish) or want to find a specific location in cities that I am not so familiar with.

There are many different options when you want to shop for a GPS. A company called Land Air Sea sells a device that is used for GPS Vehicle Tracking. The device is very small and can be easily connected to cars with a strong magnet. It can even be placed under the car as the device is water resistant.
This kind of GPS Tracking is very accurate as the system is able to track every movement within 2.5 meters every second. Another great feature with this device is that it is compatible with Google Earth and since it is equipped with USB you can just connect the tracking device to your computer. Then you can upload the data to Google Earth and look in great detail at every movement that the car has done.

This device sounds like an excellent solution if you want to track where your vehicle has been, but it should of course not be abused with illegal tracking.
