Future Sound Lab Heavy Bass Earphones

This is a nice pair of earphones for the price point.

The sound quality is decent to good (depending on your preferences.. sound clarity is a very subjective issue), sound isolating, with decent bass.

I especially love the flat, tangle-free cord.

With the 3 different sized silicon tips they will fit any sized ear.

Another bonus is the right-angled jack ... which makes it lie more flush to the device ... a big plus when you want to put your device in a smallish bag or whatever and you don't have room for another 3/4 of an inch of "headroom" where the jack goes into the device.

All in all I really like these as a straight-forward pair of headphones for listening to my music.

they are not built to be super sturdy.... they are made of plastic, not metal. What do you expect for the price?

Yet, for trips, school work, or when your kids have different games/entertainment on their devices, these headphones will do the job just fine. They are adjustable for growing heads, have nice soft earpieces, and come in 4 fun colors. I know my granddaughter is going to LOVE these for her trips with her mommy and her grandparents!

Compatible with iPod, iPhone, iPad, PSP, LeapPad, Nintendo DS and all other electronic devices with a standard headphone jack. The thick cable keeps it from tangling easily and has a 3.5mm jack.

Alpha Griller Cooking Thermometer

My last cooking thermometer was one of the old, dial types, and I certainly wasn't unhappy with it but it finally died recently and I needed a replacement for it. So when I got a chance to review this more modern version, I was delighted.

I have to say I'm really impressed. For one thing, it has a battery protection feature that keeps it from turning on if the probe isn't unlocked from the folded position... which means that it won't be dead when I go to use it because some other utensil managed to press on the "on" button and run it down. I've had other digital devices that have had this happen so I'm glad that this one has this feature.

This thermometer is simple and intuitive to use. There are 3 buttons - C/F Temp, on/off, and a "Hold" button that holds the temp reading on the display so you can remove it to read it ... which is very useful when grilling or in darker situations as well as for those of us who, er, need readers in bad light, LOL. The display is large enough to read easily without my glasses in normal light. 

There's a basic chart of temps for cooking right on the device as well as a more extensive chart that you can keep on your wall for all your cooking needs, which is awesome to me because I'm always having to refer to my cookbooks for the right temps when I cook various types of meat.

I am excited to have this in my utensil drawer.... because I know I will be using it a LOT in the near future!

Ultimate Paracord Survival Kit Bracelet

Available at the link below:
http://bit.ly/ParacordSurvivalBracelet

I live at the end of a dead end road at the foot of the Catskills and I love hiking the local mountains. Those two things have made me aware for the need of a simple but effective back-up system in case something happens. We have ice storms here that could cause me to be stranded, possibly without electricity, in mid-winter and hiking always carries the risk of either becoming lost or injured and unable to get to a safe haven in any kind of weather. So I have been looking for things that are easy to use, and preferably don't take up a lot of room (I live in an apartment) that might be useful in an emergency situation.

This Paracord Bracelet is an excellent addition to my Emergency Stash Pack. Lightweight, compact, and wearable, it's got a large number of items that would make survival easier in an emergency situation.

Below are the contents of the bracelet.... all items are contained in a plastic tube

• 1 x 12' length of nylon paracord cordage
• 1 x Snelled 3/0 offset kale hook with 20" leader line
• 1 x Snelled #2 offset kale hook with 20" leader line
• 2 x 1 1/8 inch line swivels
• 1 x 30 ft length 10lb test fishing line
• 2 x 1/2 inch foam bobbers
• 2 x 3/8 inch egg sinkers
• 1 x 2 1/4 inch ferrocerium fire starter rod
• 1 x 2 inch diameter serrated fire striker
• 1 x Dried grass tinder bundle
• 1 x 9 square inch Alcohol pad
• 2 x 1 3/4 inch safety pins
• 1 x Compass (select models)
Instruction manual included

When I ordered I didn't realize there was a Large and Small (PINK!) option to account for the difference in sizing between men and woman so I ordered the larger one. It's actually far to big for me but I could still just have this attached to a carabiner clip on my pack or stuffed in a pocket. That was my own fault but it's something to be aware of when ordering for a woman or someone with a smaller wrist.

I didn't take anything out of the bracelet but I was able to turn the ring around to strike the serrated flint piece (that doubles as part of the clasp) and I can say it EASILY made sparks. That to me was one of the more important aspects that I wanted this for: emergency fire starter. So that alone is a great thing and I wouldn't even have to undo the bracelet just to make a fire.

I hope I never need to use this, but it's comforting to know I have this ... just in case :)

Two Meows Cat Litter Mat is the Cat's Meow!

I have a 2 cat household (one is a longer haired cat too), and one large litter box for the two of them... ideally I'd have one each but I live in an apartment so there's no place for a second pan. So I have had a lot of litter in that area ... every day I am sweeping up litter at least once a day. One of the cats tends to pee outside the box (right beside the box) about once a week (no matter how clean I keep the litter). So I have to deal with clean-up and disinfecting on a regular basis.


I put this mat in place and my first impression is that it's the perfect size for me and my needs. In my space if it was bigger I'd have to step on it as I entered the bathroom. I quickly noticed that it does slow down the litter tracking pretty substantially. And while it hasn't stopped the cat that pees outside the box, the clean-up is a lot easier as it traps the pee and I can take it outside and rinse it off and spray it with disinfectant ... Just a little while on the fence and it's dry and ready to use again.

No more crying over spilled litter ... this mat is the cat's meow!
