Everyone likes pets. Not everyone likes every kind of pet, of course – there are dog people, cat people, horse people, even iguana people… and they don’t always mix. but if you own a pet, and a lot of people do, than you know what I mean when I say: everyone likes pets. That might even be an understatement, especially considering how endearing a lab puppy can be, or considering how much time the cat lady spends with her feline friends. It might be more accurate to say that everyone, at least everyone who owns one, loves pets.

But while this may be true – that pet owners love their pets – no one loves an untrained pet. For instance, it’s so much fun to play with a kitten as he unravels a ball of yarn. But it’s significantly less fun when that same kitten unravels the corner of your $1000 couch. By the same token, it’s fun to hear your new puppy yelp as she plays with her new squeeze toy. It’s significantly less fun to hear her bark as every car rolls by your house. In other words, pets are great to have around… so much fun. But, they’re more fun when they’re trained. If you want the best experience with your pet, you need to train them.

There are plenty of resources to help you train your pet. There are nearly endless amounts of books, classes, products. and professionals devoted to that very subject or specialty. Whatever your pet, and whatever your problem, different solutions may suit you best. You will need to do some research, and need to determine which route to take.

However, in the interest of saving you some time, it’s probably worth highlighting one such product here: the Tattle Tale Vibration Pet Trainer. The idea behind this revolutionary new product is a self-detecting training mechanism to help you train your pets, and help you have the bet possible experience with your pets.

How the Tattle Tale Vibration Pet Trainer works is that you place, put or hang it in an area you’d like to work on with your pet. For instance, if your new dog jumps up on the couch when you’re not looking (a behavior you’d like to train them out of), you would place your Vibration Pet Trainer somewhere on the couch. Then the Vibration Pet Trainer goes to work, picking up on any vibration disturbance, such as the one from your dog jumping up on the couch. When the Vibration Pet Trainer picks up on this disturbance, it sounds a distinct 3-second alarm, letting your pet know they’ve “been caught.” combine this with some clear communication about the rules (like no getting up on the couch), and you have an extremely effective training tool. Plus, best of all, it’s one that works when you need it most – when you’re out of the house, or at night, when you’re asleep. It’s 24-7 training for your pet, and 24/7 peace of mind for you.

The Tattle Tale Vibration Pet Trainer comes with a single 9V battery, ensuring long-life continuous operation, and works in any position. Hang it, set it, or place it anywhere! Best of all, the Tattle Tale Vibration Pet Trainer is on sale now at http://www.petpetsupplies.com, marked down to 19.99. If you want the best behaved pet, and the most fun with that pet, head on over there, and pick up one risk-free.

Good Luck!

EVERYONE likes sno-cones, and everyone has a sno-cone memory. It might have been the county fair. It might have been in the school cafeteria (you know, sharing it with that cute guy/girl – the everlasting love for that week). For me, it was… well, nevermind. Story or not, the point stands: sno-cones are a welcome part of our lives, if not of our culture as a whole.

Given the stance, our global stance, on the delicious summer treat, it’s no wonder that sno-cones are for more than stories – they’re a profitable business. Just think about it… if everyone likes them, you better believe a lot of people will buy them. Whether you’re at a county fair, in a school cafeteria, or just on the local street corner, you’ll be the life of the party if you have a sno-cone machine. And of course you’ll make a few bucks. More the hot dog stand or the newstand, I’ll tell you that much.

Sound good? of course it does. But where do you get started? With the best machine on the market, of course. The Paragon Artic Blast Sno-Cone Machine. sweet. This baby is an essential for anyone trying to make it in the sno-cone business. It’s industrial strength, and efficiently produces some of the best sno-cones around. It comes with Tinted High-Imapct Polycarbonate side panels to make sure your profits aren’t derailed by overanxious kids, and comes with a back-lit sign guaranteed to draw attention to you.

The Paragon Artic Blast Sno-Cone Machine is made with a sturdy stainless steel and aluminum base (which means it’s solid and easy to clean), and comes standard with a heavy-duty, top-quality motor - 1/3 horsepower with 1725 rpm. Plus it has a manual safety reset, so it’s one of the safest on the market. It also comes with an attractive powdercoat paint finish (to make it the nicest one in town), and comes with cool features like a slanted drain deck to make clean-up easier.

For the techies, here are the specs:

Volts: 120
Watts: 635
Amps: 5.3

Best of all, the Paragon Artic Blast Sno-Cone Machine comes with a three-year manufacturers warranty. That means that not only are sno-cones wicked fun, a good money-maker, but now with this machine, they’re risk-free. I mean, how cool is that? If you’re still not sure, what are you waiting for? Go get one of these puppies, go have some fun, and go make some money.

I think most people like dogs. They can be friendly companions, fluffy lap-sitters, even fierce protectors. However, every once and awhile, especially for people who fear dogs, they can become unlikeable. At these times, considering the breed of the dog, how well it’s trained, and what the situation is, it can be downright dangerous. Need confirmation? Just ask a jogger who has been bitten, a bike rider who has been chased, a mail carrier who has been harassed, a salesman who has been turned away, or the human characters in Cujo.

Though that movie certainly will, I don’t mean to scare you, and I don’t think it’s right to go mistrusting and fearing all dogs. I think it’s unnecessary, and contrary to the point here – dogs can be a lot of fun. But, in the case where they turn violent or attacking, I also think it’s smart to be prepared. I think it’s smart to be able to fend off an attack, and go on with your activity… whether that be walking, jogging, delivering mail, selling vacuum cleaners, or even just strolling around the park.

There are a couple products and techniques you can use, but unfortunately, most are either too harsh, or too weak (and thus ineffective). For example, a gun works, but not without legal consequences (in other words, don’t try that at home, kids). Pepper spray works, but at harm to the dog. On the other side of the spectrum, a heavy branch can sometimes work, but it sometimes doesn’t. same goes with shouting and waving your arms.

So, if you want a solution that works reliably, that neither puts you in jail or in the hospital, the Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent may be just the thing. The idea behind this revolutionary product is a high-frequency ultrasonic sound that wards off aggressive dogs without hurting them. Easy to carry in your hand, the Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent emits the high-frequency sound at a press of a button, not bothering humans (who can not perceive such a high-frequency sound), but deterring dogs just the same. It doesn’t use chemicals, or other harmful methods. And it works every time. If you want to protect yourself in the safest and best way possible, consider the Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent.

The Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent works on dogs up to 20 feet away, and comes with a 9V high-energy Alkaline battery. It’s covered by a manufacturers warranty, and now, at http://www.petpetsupplies.com it’s covered under a lowest-price guarantee. That means if you buy it now, for an already reduced price of 25.99, and then find it at a lower price anywhere else, http://www.petpetsupplies.com will refund you the difference back. Basically, it’s a helpful and risk-free purchase.

So… Protect Yourself. Get the Dazer II Ultrasonic Dog Deterrent

Nope, it’s not a secret agent. Just a fan. But more than that, a really good fan. A great one even. The best on the market. It’s the Propello Designer Desktop Table Fan from Black + Blum. It’s designed to look sleek and modern, with a thin, yet sturdy base. And even cooler, it has soft natural rubber blades that move plenty of air, but do it safely (even if you get something caught in there). In other words, they won’t chop your fingers off. That allows for a cool, open-air design without the ugly protective screen like with other fans (which have a great talent for collecting dirt). The Propello has a lighter design, and adds depth and airiness to your desk, rather than clutter. Plus, it comes with the highest-available quality motor, which ensures it runs silently (which is how it got the secret agent designation in the first place). That means you get more work done. The math is simple: better design + better atmosphere = better desk = better work. Plus it has a cooler name than any other fan. Propello. It’s a winner, for sure.

The Propello Designer Desktop Table Fan has a Pressure cast zinc alloy/aluminum body, a top-quality Johnson Electric motor, and soft rubber blades. It comes in a modern white/gray and it’s dimensions are H27cm W26cm D18cm. Small enough to fit on any desk or table, but big enough to make a presence there (both as furniture and as a fan). It sells for $130-140 most other places, but is available now for $98.99 at MyPopcornMachine.com. You can go directly to the page by following this link: http://www.mypopcornmachine.com/blblprdedeta.html.

Admittedly, $98.99 is a fair bit for a fan. But you’ve got to think of quality here. You’ll love this fan. It makes all the difference on a desk or a table. It’s one of those pieces that isn’t presupposing, but that combines to make a room. Something you see each time you sit down to work or to read, and something you’re glad you have each of those times. You get the type of gratification you only get when you buy the best, top-quality products. And that’s priceless.

So get you one. Again, check out the Propello Fan by Black & Blum. You’re welcome.

For new mothers and fathers, nothing is more precious than your new baby. As soon as they’re born, all reality changes - it stops revolving around you and your relationship, and starts revolving around them… what they’re doing, and how they’re feeling. Nothing is more important than their safety and their comfort. It’s just how things work.

But just as much, you need to still have your life – you still need to go the grocery store, take walks, even just get out of the house for some social time. In other words, you still need to be on-the-go, but of course, you need to ensure your newly-born child is safe and comfortable in the process.

Surprisingly, given the urgency of this need, there are still some improvements to be made in how you take the kids out on the town. Strollers work fine, but with them, you’re a far way away from the child, and don’t have a lot of control over where they go (and how they’re doing on a second-to-second basis). Baby carriers are a good idea (because you get to keep them closer), but most are too rigid, too bulky, or too uncomfortable for the kid, and too much of a hassle for you to navigate. Given these two options, more and more parents are using a wrap-carrier… a cloth wrapped around their body that cradles the kid close – safe and comfortable. It’s a good option – both the baby and the parent get to stay close and connected, but at least up until now, it’s not perfect. With some, there are buckles, snaps or fasteners, and with others, there’s a slim strap that sits only on one shoulder… meaning that the one shoulder has to bear the brunt of the child’s weight (and has to be the only supporter of their safety).

That’s why the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier Sling is such a cool product. It’s a new baby carrier that not only does what others do – keeps your baby close, safe, and comfortable while on-the-go, but it does it with a better design. You see, the Moby Wrap goes across your whole back, and comes over both of your shoulders. That means it distributes the kids’ weight better, keeping you more comfortable, and keeping the kid safer. It also means the design is simpler, and your life (with a child) is simpler. It’s a win-win.

Plus, the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier Sling is versatile… is allows you to hold your baby in numerous different positions, depending on your mood, and most often, theirs (i.e. sitting up and looking around vs. lying down and taking a nap). The Carrier Sling comes in 10 different colors, and you can check each of them out (plus see the different positions you can carry your baby in) at babygiftsunique.com. They’re for sale at Baby Gifts Unique for 34.95, marked down from nearly $50.

If you have a new-born baby, or you’re expecting, go take a look. You might be (pleasantly surprised) at what you find.

We all know it by now; swimming is great exercise. It might be the best full-body, no-impact workout anywhere. I think it is. But, I also think it’s boring. All that time staring down into blue water, watching the black line go by. All that work to get nowhere (except to the other end of the pool and back). No scenery, no stimulation, just boredom. It’s good exercise, sure, but it’s hard to get. It’s hard to get myself psyched about it, and hard to get myself to do it as much as I’d like (and as much as I should).

Well, some smart (and probably fit people) thought of a pretty good solution for swimming-induced boredom: an MP3 player (like an ipod) that you can wear underwater, and wear while swimming. It’s cleverly called the SwiMP3, and it’s genius. Now, you can swim laps (or go surfing/play at the beach/hang out at the pool) and still blast your tunes. You can listen to music doing your favorite wet activities, and as a result, you can have more fun doing them.

The SwiMP3 (available at http://www.mypopcornmachine.com/swimp3player.html) comes with a formidable 256 MB of storage space (plenty enough for your music), and weighs in at only 2 ounces. It’s compatible with your Mac or your PC, and its’ portable battery is recharged through a USB port – the same way you add music to the player.

Coolest of all, the SwiMP3 uses a cool new technology – bone conduction – to provide great sound. The idea is that other underwater electronics transfer the sound through the water. Inevitably, some of it is lost in the transition (and the sound suffers). The SwiMP3 is different – it conducts the sound from the player through your skull bones, and directly to your ear. Very little sound is lost in the process, and as a result, the sound you hear is top-quality.

The player is not only cool and helpful, but it’s good. It gives you good functionality, good sound, and most importantly, it gives you the motivation to get that workout in. It gets you to the pool, and gets you through your workout (whether you’re trying to swim 100 yards or 3000 yards). That makes you more fit and more healthy, and it makes the SwiMP3 a great piece of technology. It’s that simple.

Check out this YouTube video about the SwiMP3:

I don’t think everyone likes roller coasters. But I do think everyone gets a thrill from them. It’s exciting climbing to the top (waiting in anticipation), it’s crazy plummeting from the peak (and around the track), and if you’re stupid enough to go on one with huge banks and loops, it’s dizzying and nausea-inducing. But again, like I said, it’s thrilling. Better than a cup of coffee, and exactly what the doctor ordered if you need a “I’m actually alive” reminder.

But, even at their best, roller coasters are hard to get too. For most people, the closest amusement park can be an hour drive or more. Once you get there (especially if you go there on a nice weekend day), you have to contend with (i.e. fight with) tons of other people – you have to wait on line for tickets, wait on line for food, and then wait on line for the actual ride. All the while, you’re shelling out lots of money and losing patience for all the screaming kids. It’s a decent trip if you’re into it, but more than often, it’s not worth the hassle.

Now if you could just capture the thrill of the roller coaster, and make it more accessible (and more pleasant), that would be great, right? Like watching the football game in High Def without actually having to push yourself into the stadium? Sounds good to me.

Well now you can… that’s where the buzzball comes in. It’s a new product from some whacked-out dudes in New Zealand (a company called Evento). The idea is that you sit in a chair in the middle of a big plastic ball. You hold triggers in both hands, which control driving wheels on both sides of the ball (which again, you’re sitting in the middle of). Then, you roll the ball around a field, and your chair rotates around in the middle of it (according to your control). You can just tool around, or you can create a sweet ride; take yourself on wicked banks, and super loop-de-loops. In effect, you can create your own roller coaster ride… right in your back yard. No long lines. No screaming kids. Just adrenaline and fun.

This is cool, no doubt. But questions still abound. Like… what happens if you roll this baby down a hill? And a follow-up question… this thing got any brakes? And another follow up question… no? Well then, does it come with a life-insurance policy?

Maybe these questions will be answered when this gadget actually comes out (and is available to the public). In the meantime though, you can go check it out at: http://www.buzzball.net/buzzball and form your own.

Golf is hard. It’s hard to drive long and straight. It’s hard to put long irons right on the pin. It’s hard to hit 90-yard pitch shots, and it’s very hard to putt well. We can’t help you with the play off the tee, and we can’t help you with putting (at least not today), but we can help you with your iron shots. That is, we can help you by showing you the Whippy TempoMaster Iron.

The Whippy TempoMaster Iron is a swing tool, and a good one. The idea is that it has a flex shaft. You swing the club, and try to swing it in the proper tempo. If your fling your hands back too fast, and off-axis, the club will flex too much (up to 4 inches). It’ll highlight your swing flaws, and make them plainly simple (so you can fix them). Same thing with the downswing – you fling your hands too fast through the ball, and the club will flex, and send the ball flying wayward. It’s instant feedback, and an instant opportunity to fix your swing flaws.

The best part is that as you get better – as you learn your flaws and you learn how to fix them, you can continue to use the Whippy as feedback. As you form a better swing (even a ‘perfect’ one), you’ll start to hit better balls with it. You’ll stay in rhythm, use your hips and big muscles properly, and let your hands come through with good timing. As that happens, the Whippy TempoMaster Iron will flex less, and be in better position to hit like a real iron. You’ll start to hit good shots with it, and when you switch back to your regular shots, you’ll be an ace.

And that’s the point. It’s a training advice that works on its’ own. You practice with it, and you get better. You switch back to your regular clubs, and play regular golf, and you’re better. You’ll start hitting straighter shots. Powerful shots that take less effort. You’ll find your natural swing, and find your natural game. You’ll start having more fun playing, and you’ll start scoring better.

In the end, isn’t that what it’s about? Playing well, scoring well, and enjoying yourself? Yep… I’d say so. Well, as you know, practice comes first. But don’t just practice. Practice smart. Practice with The Whippy TempoMaster Iron.

As some of you undoubtedly know, being rich can be nice. There’s the ski trips to Austria, and the yacht trips to Antigua. There’s good drink, good food, and lots of good times. But, being rich can also be tough. Sure, you have money, but there are a lot of people trying to take it away. It’s cool you can afford that diamond bracelet, but can you afford the security to keep it safe? Now, you need walls, gates, video camera’s, and safes. Especially safes.

But in this era, any old safe won’t do. Criminals are smart, and they have smart tools… they can find that safe behind the painting, and they can break the code too. You certainly have to try better than that. What you need is a disguised (nearly impenetrable) safe. What you need is an Iceberg Lettuce Safe.

Yep, that’s right. There’s a new player in the security market - a safe that’s disguised as a head of lettuce. It looks like a fresh vegetable, but its’ bottom swings open to reveal a compartment big enough for extra cash, jewelry or other small valuables. Just put your expensive stuff in it, close it up, and put it in your fridge (with the other produce).

In the odd chance you get some hungry criminals that root around your fridge, they probably won’t go for your vegetables. They’ll never know that your salad makings hold what they’re looking for, and they’ll never get at it. With the lettuce safe, you can outsmart even the quickest criminals, and keep yourself safe.

You’ll keep yourself safe, and keep all your valuables. That means you’ll still be rich (which is a good thing), and you’ll still be able to take that ski trip. Or that sailing trip. Or that skydiving trip (if that’s your thing).

Plus, you’ll feel smart. That’s good too. So, go get one. You can find them here: http://bimbambanana.com/index.php?p=iceberg&side=visProd&prod_id=328

The perfect chaser to the killer shot? An elusive prospect, to say the least. But not anymore. Not with the Quaffer shot glass at least.

It puts an end to more than a few problems. Sick of ending another round of shots with liquor and/or soda dribbling down your chin en-route to your freshly pressed dress shirt? Tired of having the bubbles come in, not out, after a misjudged swig from the 2 liter? I think we all are. We need a new (and unique) way to bring our shots and our chasers into harmony. We need a solution!

That’s what the Quaffer is. The Quaffer combines the shot and the chaser in one easy-to-use tumbler. You see, it puts a traditional 1.5 oz shot on top and 2.5 oz of your favorite chaser on the bottom. Due to a great design, the two don’t mix (at least until you tip it over). I’m no physics genius, but it works because different drinks have different densities (and thus can be kept apart). Watch this video to see more:

With the Quaffer, you get more than a way to keep your shot and your chaser separate… you get a better drinking experience. You get to avoid the pitfalls of spilling Red Bull all over yourself after you take down the Yager (for example), but you also get to have a fun time doing it. It’s an easy equation: more alcohol + less mess = more fun. That’s not to mention: alcohol + cool new gadget = whiz bang fun. Simple.

Plus, the Quaffer is reasonably priced, and it’s made of tough plastic (not glass). Great functionality, without worrying about it breaking all the time. This one’s made for a party, which is more than you can say for other frilly drinking glasses. Whether you’re pre-gaming with a group of friends in your Friday night best; working in a bar, and looking to cut your dishwashing in half; or looking for an interesting party item to break the ice… the Quaffer is the ticket.

So, go get yourself one, and start drinking better today. Keep your shirt clean, impress your friends, and of course, have a good time. A very good time.

You can find the Quaffer at: http://www.mypopcornmachine.com/quaffer.html. You can get them in groups of 1,2,4,8, and 25.
