Top Scuba Gear

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Alan Shazan

 

If you are into scuba diving at all, you might be interested in purchasing the Oceanic Worldwide Sport Rebreather.  At one point this kind of clothing was mainly used exclusively by military, scientific and other professional-based divers. But today, even those who like to do a bit of diving for the pure pleasure and fun of it might find some benefit from this purchase.  It makes sense as it is incredibly quiet and has no bubbles.  The way it does this is through recycling the diver’s breathing gas via a scrubber which eliminates carbon dioxide.  This allows for longer bottom times.  As well, there is a pre-packed scrubber cartridge inside so the user does not need to add their own soda lime.  It is operated via Nitrox which is a sophisticated air mixture that should be used for dives of between 100 and 130 feet deep.  Pricing is $5,500 for this unit that weighs around 35 pounds.

Samsung Focus Flash

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Alan Shazan

After all the hype of the iPhone, PC makers tried to come up with a competitor.  It seemed that it was unsuccessful.  The first Windows Phone just didn’t really do it for the consumer.  But now – with the launch of the Samsung Focus Flash – all that might be about to change and there could actually be some real competition to the iPhone that keeps on increasing in popularity. Let’s have a look at what it can do.  

Well, first off, it runs way better on the second generation of WP handsets.  Second, financially it makes a lot of sense as for what it gives out, the price is great.  It also feels good in your hand (not as slim-line as the iPhone line but way less chunky than its predecessor).  It boasts an attractive 3.7 inch vibrant screen with a front-facing camera.  The software comes with an Internet sharing on/off setting.  And the quality of the call is pretty impressive too.

It’s not all perfect though and it seems it has a few issues that still need to be ironed out.    Its touch actions require more accuracy and at times its screen does not register quickly enough. Typing on it can be tough as it is very narrow.  And the camera isn’t exactly anything to shout about vis-à-vis quality. 

But having said all of that, for those looking for a relatively top technological phone with all the bells and whistles at a fraction of the price, the Samsung Focus Flash isn’t a bad choice.

Clean-Up Pomegranate Consumption

Posted on November 15, 2011 by Alan Shazan


Enjoy the “ART”

There have been various discussions on exactly how many seeds exist in a pomegranate.  Truthfully, it is not an exact science as every pomegranate has a different amount. Still, what cannot be disputed is the seeds are indeed numerous.  And getting them out of the pomegranate has never been easy or exactly mess-free.  Well, now, thanks to the Arils Removal Tool (ART), there is a solution.  Developed by the Shoham company, the ART is made up of a collection cup, grate and cover.  Once the pomegranate has been split and de-crowned, one half of it is placed on a grate (which is on top of the collection bowl), covered and the top is taped with a heavy spoon which knocks the arils (the seed and the flesh) free of its pith, enabling them to easily pass through the grate and end up in the collection cup for the consumer’s enjoyment.

Never again get frustrated with a pomegranate – get the ART to the rescue.

Thanksgiving Hostess Gift

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Alan Shazan

What do you get the hostess who seems to have everything and want for nothing?  You and your whole family are descending on friends for the upcoming holiday – staying overnight and probably enjoying a delicious turkey meal with all the trimmings – but you have no idea how to properly thank your host.  Well, the Nigella Lawson Bread Bin and Beech Lid Breadboard just might be the perfect gift.   It is a double gift in one.  First, you get a super stylish bread bin and then you get a chopping board too.  It is available in blue or cream.  And if you want to get even more great stuff for your hostess’ kitchen, check out more of the Nigella Lawson Cookware range. 

It is not just an ordinary bread bin; it happens to be one of the most popular ones on the market with an extremely large capacity to hold a substantial amount of bread.  While it is definitely not the most inexpensive bread bin around (retailing on Amazon for £67.50, but on its website, for £47.99  which is  approximately $110 and  $77 respectively), it is certainly  somewhat costly.

Perfect Thanksgiving Toy

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Alan Shazan

Stuck for something to buy your host for the upcoming holiday?  Going to someone’s house for the big meal but have no idea what to buy the host who has everything?  Check out the USB Cup Warmer currently on special for half price (while stocks last).  So what does this cup warmer do?  It’s pretty obvious really.  It keeps your hot drink warm for as long as you need.  So it’s perfect for young moms rushed off their feet, trying to enjoy that first morning cup of hot steaming tea, when all of a sudden the little one starts crying, they realize they have to put the clothes in the dryer, or the dog’s is attacking the toddler’s shoes as he’s dying to go out for his first walk of the day.  By the time you actually get back to that great cup, it’s more like an ice tea!

Or, the business executive has made himself a strong cup of coffee, but by the time he gets back to his desk after having dealt with all sorts of issues along the way, he finds his drink resembling more of an ice coffee than a steaming hot beverage. 

But now hot drinks are finally entering the 21st century as they can maintain heat through a computer!  Finally it seems the computer can do what we’ve wanted for so long and actually make a cup of tea…well, sort of, at least, an outlet from the computer is able to help keep the steam in the cup for as long as the user desires.
