Child Audio Books

Do you have to do a very long trip by car with kids ? One of the main questions you should be asking yourself is : How will we entertain them during most of the duration of the journey ?

Child Audio Books can be an excellent answer for that. They can be a perfect way to spend time as they can make your children develop their imagination being very happy. In addition, listening to a different voice, that they don't know, can be useful to get the children attention.

The age of the children is not an issue. There are different categories of child audio books, for very little ones, for not so little and also for teenagers. Perhaps you can play a child audio book for the youngest in the car's radio and let the older ones listen to another one in a portable MP3 player.

Titles like Bob the Builder, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are titles that can be played to the little ones, under ten year old. And perhaps for older ones, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Maybe you can join the children and also listen your favourite audio book, too !

The duration of most child audio books is over forty minutes, so with a few of them you can keep your children attention during most of the trip, and letting them spend a very good time. And not less important : Let you spend a good and peaceful journey.

The Easi-Reader Bookstand

The Easi-Reader Bookstand
Holds reading material in a comfortable position for hands-free reading. Made of chrome-plated steel, this item folds away easily for storage.

Customer Review: Great for hardbacks, textbooks

Very simple and cheap, but not much is needed from a book stand. Some reviewers complain that it doesn't hold paperbacks, but one can easily see from looking at it that it wouldn't be good for that, so I didn't knock it.



I use this stand to hold my textbooks up while I'm reading and taking notes, which is really nice to keep from having to hunch over a book to read it flat on a table. Also it allows the book to take up less desk space, which is nice when reading and using a computer at the same time. Since it's light and collapsable, it's also very useful to take along to classes and have the same benefits in the classroom as well.

Customer Review: Grandmom says, Wonderful gadget!

This stand proved to be better that I expected. It holds large, heavy (read coffee table) books easily and is so portable as to be a pleasure. Folds very thin and can slip in the smallest tote or brief case. Also great for the morning paper (don't want to gump up your paper while you're buttering your bagel!); but if you are only a paperback reader, I'd give this one a pass. For the price, what's not to like!

Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1990-1997 (Haynes Manuals)

Mazda MX-5 Miata, 1990-1997 (Haynes Manuals)
Manuals for the Do-it-yourselfer. All Haynes manuals explain how to carry out routine maintenance, restoration and servicing of cars and motorcycles, and are aimed primarily at the Do-it-yourselfer

Customer Review: mazda mx5, 90-97 (Hyayes Manuals)

Generally good but missing some basic instructions on removing some parts before completing the desired task.

Customer Review: Only as a last resort!

This book was purchased along with other "I just bought a used car" items (plugs, belts, you know the routine) at the parts store. Because I'd had good experience with Haynes manuals before, it seemed like a Good Idea At The Time.

If I'd known then what I know now...

If Haynes was interested in releasing repair manuals for Miatae, they would've released two for the NA (1990 - 1997) series, because the 1990-93 was a 1.6L engine and the 1994-97 was 1.8L. There are enough differences between the engines to merit two different volumes, and Haynes doesn't do a great job of pointing out the differences between the two. The illustration about spark plug firing order, to name one example, is awkward enough to make you set your tools down and ponder before proceeding. Information in a repair manual should be succinct, not confusing.

If you want good reference material for your Miata (why else would you be reading this?), use the following resources BEFORE cracking open the Haynes:
- www . miata . net - specifically, the FAQ and garage sections.
- Mazda's shop manual for your specific year, available from many online vendors. This is invaluable and will pay for itself over time.
- Rod Grainger's "Enthusiast's Manual" by for your flavor, 1.6L or 1.8L, also available from many online vendors (including Amazon.com!).
- Your local Miata club, also found at www . miata . net

The Rabbit Corkscrew

The Rabbit Corkscrew
Bid crumbling corks adieu. Award-winning design meets everyday convenience with this fast-as-lightning yet incredibly smooth-pulling corkscrew. Metrokane's Rabbit corkscrew opens any size wine bottle in just three seconds, and then automatically releases the cork. Features a user-friendly ergonomic design. Also includes a foil cutter. Handsomely packaged in a convenient storage case. Ten-year warranty.

Customer Review: How to use the Metrokane Rabbit

From a design standpoint, this is a very good product. But the documentation is pathetic, and was clearly never tested with new / real users. There is no explanation of how it's supposed to work. That understanding is very helpful: with it, you'll never have trouble, and will marvel at the clever design. Let's get started.



Have a bottle of wine handy on which you've already used the supplied (and very good) little foil cutter to remove the foil over the cork.



Take the unit in your hand and look at the movable parts. The overhead lever that swings outward / downward and then is reversed / brought back over the top - moves the spiral corkscrew up and down. To see this, operate the overhead lever with one hand while holding the clamping "side handles" with the other. When you move the overhead handle the corkscrew rotates.



Why is the corkscrew turning? Because it's forced to do that as it goes through a "guide" (the metal collar with gray plastic center). The gray plastic piece has an internal spiral track that forces the corkscrew to rotate as it passes through.



Here's the critical point: as long as the guide mechanism is locked in place and can't move up or down, the guide forces the corkscrew to rotate when going through.



What if this guide were locked in place on the `down-stroke,' but could move vertically on the `up-stroke'? Then the guide would force the corkscrew to rotate on the way down (so the corkscrew would penetrate the cork), but the guide would stay attached to (and _not_ rotate) the corkscrew on the way up - thus pulling the cork.



When the unit is operated correctly this is exactly what happens. But how?



Look more closely: Before using the Rabbit's `side-handles' to hold the wine bottle neck, the guide is locked in place by two protruding spring-loaded latches and can't move vertically. Try it: it won't budge. (You can actually see these small latches projecting over the top of the guide and keeping it from moving - by looking in the area above and to the far rear of the guide, near the smooth rod.)



On the other hand, when the clamping handles are squeezed onto the neck of a bottle, these latches above the guide _retract_, releasing their hold on the guide so it can move upward.



Do this now: Take your bottle of wine and, with the overhead lever rotated to its fully outward / downward position, place the guide directly over the cork and grip the neck of the bottle _firmly_ with the clamping side handles.



Look at the latches described above: they have retracted, and no longer restrain the guide from moving upward. This has no effect during the down-stroke / cork penetration phase, since the guide is already as low as it can go. Because the guide can't move, it forces the corkscrew to rotate when you operate the overhead lever - thus penetrating the cork. Perform this down-stroke.



Now watch what happens when the overhead lever is pulled back to withdraw the cork (while you at the same time continue to grip the bottle neck firmly with the side levers). Because the guide can now move vertically with the corkscrew, it imposes no rotation on the corkscrew. The corkscrew stays inside the cork as the overhead lever is moved outward / downward, and the cork is extracted. Do it. You now have the cork out of the bottle, suspended above the bottle neck, and are still gripping the side handles around the bottle neck.



Release your hold on the side handles and move the Rabbit away from the bottle. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew. Re-grip the side handles with one hand and once again operate the overhead lever, bringing it all the way back to its fully closed position again (as if you were on the original down-stroke into the cork).



As you get to the very end of the stroke, you will feel resistance and will hear a click: the latches have snapped back into place over the top of the guide, locking it in place. The guide is once again `captured' - and cannot move vertically. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew.



Finally, move the overhead lever back yet again to its fully open position (as if pulling the cork from the bottle). This time the latches _don't_ retract (because you're not using the side handles to grip the bottle neck) - so the latches again keep the guide from moving, and this forces the corkscrew to rotate `in reverse' as it passes upward through the guide. The corkscrew backs out of the cork and the cork drops off. It takes all of a few seconds once you get the hang of it.



Understanding the operating principles should help. None of this is well explained (or, indeed, explained at all) in the almost non-existent documentation.

Customer Review: Directrions?

Great packaging and well built. It works fine and as advertised but the directions are less than adaquate. Even a mechanical minded-friend had to fool around with it before he got it to work and could show me. I've always been a dunce at this kind of stuff.

Customer Review: Good Idea BUT. . .

This is a good idea but you can only get a few uses out of it before the non-stick coating starts coming off in the cooking/washing. It's also too light weight, not constructed well and flimsy. The lid locking design is hit or miss at best. Stay far away from this one.

Customer Review: Pasta Pot

These pasta pots are great because they are two products in one. First you cook the food in the pot and then drain off the water through the holes in the lid. Great for saving space in the kitchen. They are handy for camping trips and are easy to use.

Se Sex and the City crea un bestseller

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:32:10 -0700
Era prevedibile. Non c’è niente da stupirsi se, negli ultimi mesi, il libro delle “Lettere d’amore degli uomini illustri” diventerà, anche in Italia, un best seller. Il titolo non vi dice niente? Vuol dire che non avete visto il film Sex and the city, e quella scena in Carrie ne legge un brano a mr Big. Poco male. Poco male se non vi piace Sex and the city. Poco male da dove nasca la voglia di un libro. La cosa curiosa è che le copie residue di questo libro sono state prese d’assalto già su
