Clip-On Mosquito Repeller

This is so bought for this summer. If I hate something is getting sucked dry by mosquitoes! This device clips unobtrusively to a belt and repels mosquitoes within a 15′ radius wherever you go. Eliminating the need to apply chemical-based sprays, the device automatically emits the subtle floral scent of geraniol, a plant-derived essential oil that naturally repels mosquitoes, ticks, and no see-ums

Bell Canada Remotely Kills, Recalls MiFi Routers

If your Bell-supplied Mi-Fi cellular Wi-Fi modem died yesterday, here’s why: The batteries in some MiFi 2372 units are swelling and causing malfunctions. Bell Canada is recalling units (an envelope is likely already on its way to you) to replace both battery and battery cover. This will take from six to eight weeks, so in the meantime you’ll be given a Novatel U998 Turbo Stick – a USB 3G dongle – to tide you over (not so good if you’re using the MiFi with a non-USB equipped gadget, like an iPad or iPod Touch)

Band : Sennheiser Model : PX 100 Product Features : – Collapsible open air headphones – Warm natural sound for all types of music – High energy driver system for max performance – Rugged collapsible headphone with case – Super lightweight design Sennheiser PX 100 Collapsible Headphones > > Great non earbud iphone/ipod headphones I purchased these because I was looking for some quality non earbud headphones that would work with my iphone/ipod without having to use the iphone adapter I have had good luck with Sennheiser in the past so I went with these I have been happy with the sound quality The frequency range seems pretty good and I can understand spoken words well when there is moderate background noise The low frequencies are not as good as more high end headphones but definitely better than earbuds I have used I keep them stored in the supplied hard case as they don t seem like they would last long in my backpack unprotected Overall I am very happy with this purchase > > Good quality headphones I am quite picky about my audio products and even when I buy items for my daughter I like to make sure they are not only functional but sound good as well The sound part was very good for open headphones and they are light enough and have a sturdy case for my daughter to keep them in her backpack without worrying about them being broken Learning to fold these up takes some work however once you get the hang of it there isn t really a problem I like the fact they are open headphones as that lets my daughter be better aware of her surroundings and hear us when we say something and we can monitor what volume level she is listening to her music I would recommend these to someone looking for a nice portable pair of headphones that are more comfortable than most earbuds at least for me > > Great sound slightly poor build quality I ve had the PX 100 s for a year and a half and I m very satisfied with the sound quality and comfort My only concern is the durability It seems every time I fold them up to store in their case and unfold them they become just slightly more weak/wobbly than before Also the area where the wire goes into the headphone plug is flimsy and not well insulated My cable has started to split barely exposing a bit of the wire right next to the jacket of the headphone plug but with a broken toothpick and some electrical tape I ve rigged a splint so it should hold up for awhile If Sennheiser would have used a right angle plug instead of a straight plug it would have solved the problem completely When my pair breaks I m either getting a pair of the Sennheiser PX 100 II Supra Aural Mini Headphones Black IF they have a right angle plug or the Grado Prestige Series SR 60i Padded Headphones which have a very sturdy cord

Quintaxial Tripod Heads Twist Five Ways

Tripod-maker Induro has tried to combine the quick-adjusting ball-head and the slow-but-accurate pan-tilt head into the new PHQ-series of tripod heads. While these two new heads don’t quite manage this feat, they pack in enough smart gimmicks and features to make your old head look positively primitive. The idea of these pan heads (there are two, identical in features but different in size) is to get your camera level, fast, and then let you pan smoothly or shoot panoramas.
