uv-monitoring-watch Minox Suntimer UV Radiation Monitoring Watch
This Minox Suntimer watch just might save your life. Summer’s here and the days are hot and it’s nice to get out in the sun. But watch out for those UV rays! Stay out too long and you will not only end up with a nasty sunburn- you could be putting your life in danger! Skin damage is no joke people. With the Minox Suntimer, UV Radiation Monitor, Watch & Stopwatch All-in-1 Combo you can easily monitor your solar exposure to keep the damage to a minimum.

The Suntimer estimates the maximum amount of safe exposure time to sunlight by using special sensors that measure the amount of ultraviolet radiation in the sunlight based on it’s intensity. You can program in a profile that the watch will remember, detailing your skin type and SPF of the sunscreen you typically use. The watch will then determine your optimum time to stay in the sun. An alarm will sound when it’s time to get out of the sun.

The Suntimer will adjust your amount of exposure time dynamically based on the sunlight it receives. If you go inside for a while or into the shade, it adds on time. If the sun gets stronger, the time allotted decreases. The watch is also water resistant to 33 feet. This makes the Suntimer ideal for many outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, fishing, biking, skiing or just being a spectator.

Celebrity Designed Sanitary Napkins

celeb-sanitary-napkins Celebrity Designed Sanitary Napkins
Uhmmmm…. from Japan.

“We are used to seeing celebrity designers for products that owners are proud to show off and call their own, like mobile phones and MP3 players, so it is entertaining (though not necessarily trendsetting) to see a popular TV talent decorating a product that is, err, not really a talking point.”

Ok, enough said on that.

Ottoman Converts to Self Contained Exercise Bench

Posted on Friday 13 June 2008

ottoman-exercise Ottoman Converts to Self Contained Exercise Bench
The ottoman that converts into an exercise bench is an interesting concept designed for anyone who doesn’t have the space to dedicate to an exercise room or even an area. It would be ideal for apartment dwellers. The whole thing packs up into a normal sized and pretty nice looking ottoman but it unfolds in a few different ways to become an entire self contained gym. Best of all, it’s already positioned right in front of your TV for an entertaining workout.

Even the weights are contained within the ottoman. Which probably means it’s extremely heavy and difficult to move. But that shouldn’t be a problem since you’ll be working out frequently with your in-home exercise equipment. Well, except for the first few months while you’re still a puny girlie man. Until then, have your burly mover guys set it up in the right spot unless you want to take out each individual weight to move it. On second thought, maybe this isn’t such a good idea.
