Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT is not just a shoe in the ordinary sense – it is a revolutionary fitness aid from SwissMasai. This product will not only change the way you use your muscles, but will improve the use of your joints and spine. The uniquely designed sole, combined with correct training, achieves a more active and healthy posture and walk.

What are the benefits?
Strengthens & tones muscles in the feet, legs, buttocks, stomach and back
Increases muscle activity & circulation which may help reduce cellulite and varicose veins
Relieves muscular tension, back and joint problems
Leads to a relaxed upright posture and gait


How does it work?
Through its unique design of its multilayered sole, MBT transforms flat, hard, artificial surfaces into natural uneven surfaces, simulating the walking action of our barefoot ancestors.

Unlike most conventional training shoes that support and cushion your feet, the unique construction of MBT challenges the sole, and the muscles used to form your posture, to be more active.

This reactive, more supportive muscle action increases shock absorption for joints and discs.

Walking more upright not only looks better but automatically makes us healthier and stronger. The back and joints are strengthened, circulation is increased and breathing is more efficient. MBT lengthens and strengthens the whole body while standing, walking or in gentle running.

The function of MBT is similar to that of balancing a ball under the foot.

Increased input-response makes it easier for the musculature to react adequately. After ground contact there is a rolling movement, starting from a negative heel position (1). This creates a pre-stretch of the calf muscles. The straightening of the body, the balancing on the mid-foot (2) and the pull-through of the step to the back (3) initiates a rotation, which follows through the whole body. This results in an active and natural posture and gait.

Cruise the side streets in style with this Euro-style electric scooter from Razor. Featuring a high-performance, chain-driven electric motor and a vintage-inspired body, the Pocket Mod can reach speeds of up to 15 miles per hour--plenty fast enough for a quick trip to the corner store or a fun ride in the country. The scooter also teams a pair of 12-inch pneumatic tires with a rear suspension system to ensure a comfortable ride. Other features include a retractable kickstand, variable-speed acceleration, a padded seat, and a built-in battery that travels for up to 10 miles on a single charge.

The buyer and rider of the Pocket Mod are responsible for knowing and obeying all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the riding and use of this scooter. The Pocket Mod, which is designed for ages 12 and up and offers a weight maximum of 150 pounds, is also backed by a 90-day warranty.

My teenage daughter wanted one of these, and is now very happy with it. It's not a full sized scooter, but works out well where we live. I'm in a private gated community with private streets, and this is not designed for public streets, as the manufacturer makes clear.

It has a surprising amount of pep, enough speed, and handles well. It will supposedly handle the weight of an adult, (220 lbs) and was still peppy with me on it. But when I tried to get it up my driveway from a complete stop, it choked on it. Had I been moving, it might not have been an issue, but this is more for the kids.

Assembly is not trivial, but not difficult. It's not going to be ready right out of the box, and the instructions don't quite match the actual packaging. The included throw away tools are not what you should use for assembly, which took longer than I would have expected.

The tire valves are in an area with limited room, and my standard tire gauges could not get in there. Neither will many air pumps.

Yes, some things could be better about it, and the warranty is short for this sort of product, but for the price, it's well worth it. Your kids will have fun.

The quality that I have all my family and friends reporting on Skype is just astonishing. Because of that, I got a 2nd one and start using it myself during all my trips and I could see the difference from the previous one.

The range of colors is what calls the attention, very good in bringing the true colors of the place you are without have to deal with the controls of it.

The Auto Focus on it is just something to bring the attention to, since you can actually get close up on stuff that other cameras would not pick up.
I could even show what I had on my monitor to friends and they were able to read it ! (using Skype)

The lens are just great (All sony cybershot's uses the same lens if that tells you anything !!), to which I believe is also the reason for all this image perfection they have reached with the camera.

You will be satisfied with this one, and the price is worth the equipment you are going to get...More Detail...

I ordered the Flowtron BK-80D bug zapper after having used a different, smaller model, which was also made by Flowtron (model BK-7). The BK-7 model worked okay, but quickly clogged up with bugs (pretty much each night). After about a week of this, it shorted out so badly that it melted a hole in the plastic part which held the wires apart. That was the end of that. The BK-7 model used a series of round wires that go horizontally, but this tended to trap the bugs. Even with constant cleaning, it was always giving me problems.

After it went out, I decided to give Flowtron one last shot. I saw the model BK-80 on Amazon.com and ordered it after reading the reviews. I have installed the unit on the corner of my house and it works amazingly well!

I put the zapper on an outdoor timer, which turns the unit on around 7 pm in the evening and then off automatically around 8 am when the sun comes up. This works great! The timer I used was the Intermatic model HB31R (sold on Amazon and at local building stores). It's a very simple little timer with a nice cover to keep the weather out. I ran the power cords with a "J" loop in them, so any rain water would drip off the bottom of the "J" and not get into the socket.

Anyway, the timer is very simple to use and makes a great additon to the Flowtron. The Flowtron BK-80D is well made and straight forward. On my unit (as I had done with the previous BK-7 model and as mentioned by another reviewer), I took some pruning sheers and cut out every other plastic slat in order to allow easier cleaning and so that larger bugs can get in more quickly.

The unit gives off a lot of light and is able to attract bugs from both the first level and 2nd level of my house (I have it mounted above the 2nd story deck on the corner). It draws all of the moths that used to hang out on our windows - from as far away as about 30 or 40 feet. One zap and they are toast. The design of the BK-80D is much better than other models I have seen. The vertical rods are well made and allow the bugs to slide down and fall out of the unit after they are killed. Not all bugs fall out, but I would say about 95% or so do fall out of their own accord. By morning time, the wind has also helped blow some of the rest out of the unit and they have fallen on the deck.

Interestingly enough, where I live, yellowjackets have figured out that any bugs stuck in the rods are a free lunch - and since my unit goes off at dawn via the timer, the yellowjackets can get in there and remove any stuck moth bodies without being zapped in the afternoon. It's a great deal for me, since it saves a little clean up. I have actually seen the yellowjackets wiggle the stuck insect bodies until they come loose from the rods, then they fly off with them! It also seems like they clean up the ones that have fallen on the deck, although that may be birds stopping by in the morning and/or the wind blowing them off the side of the deck. I'm not sure. Whatever the case, the unit requires almost zero cleaning and doesn't clog up hardly at all.

While this unit is a little more pricey than some, the extra few bucks are well worth it. The gold ring at the top (used to hang the unit) is sort of poorly designed, but it's easy to replace with a little work if you want (mine had a big gap in it - almost enough to allow the ring to come off the mounting point, which I didn't like. However, this may actually be there to help taking the unit on and off a hook or something). In my case, I simply cut the ring off with some bolt cutters and put a smaller stainless steel split ring in its place. Most people probably wouldn't mind the standard gold ring that comes with the unit, but I am very picky :-)

Note that you will need to purchase an extension cord to use this unit. The cord that comes out of the unit is only about 6 inches in length. It's not long enough to reach anything. I bought a 12 foot extension cord and ran it along the house and over to the Intermatic timer. Then the timer plugs into any standard outdoor outlet.

Since using the unit, there have been almost zero moths bugging us. I live out in the forest, so there is no shortage of bugs flying around here. Even with other lights on, the bugs seem to favor the Flowtron. The unit does make noise when the bugs are zapped (as all units do), but since the bugs routinely fall away from the zapping rods pretty quickly (much better than with other units), it's only a short zap. Once in a while there will be a longer zap, but not too often. At the rate this unit kills bugs, I think I may make a dent in the bug population around here - which is fine with me.

The unit has two bulbs that are easy to replace. Each one is held into place with a plastic clip-in cup sort of affair. This cup also doubles as the holder for the MA-1000 Octenol attractant cartridges, although I have yet to use those. The unit does come with one sample cartridge so you can try it. The instructions say the light heats up the cartridge and then it gives off its scent to attract mosquitos. Like I say, I haven't had a chance to try it; it seems to work fine without it.

All in all, a top notch design; makes life a lot nicer without having to constantly fight moths and flying bugs. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better bug zapper for the home/yard...Read More...

The first thing you notice about the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator is, well, the Navigon 7100 GPS Navigator. It's beautiful. It's the kind of device you'd expect an international spy to have in their rocket car. It's less than an inch thick, and its shiny black casing will go well with just about any car interior. Paying the same attention to every detail, Navigon's included car mount raises the bar even higher, with a design that is not only easy to use, but echoes the 7100's in a way that makes device and accessory become one, adding a touch of style and elegance to any vehicle's interior.

The Navigon 7100 preloaded with North American maps, 2 GB SD card, car charger, wall charger, car mount, USB cable, CD and user manual on DVD, quick installation guide, and warranty information.

This product works as advertised. The maps are easy to read and understand. Being an original Streets and trips user I miss the over view and the ability to zoom out features. But it compact size, auto re-routing for incorrect turns features makes it a great asset. Its vocal commands are a little hazy especially with street names that are unique or abnormal. Other then that is is an excellent tool and I am happy with this purchase....Read More...

High quality audio from a variety of devices including the iPod, iPod mini, MP3 and CD players, laptops, and most portable devices. The JBL On Tour combines many proprietary technologies to provide the highest quality sound and playing time. The On Tour will provide astonishing bass and clear, accurate sound from a pocket-sized system. The two aluminum domed transducers are driven by powerful Neodymium magnets. This design provides a full, rich frequency response from the lowest bass to the highest highs. Signal-to-noise ratio is greater than 80dB. Voltage input is 100-230 VAC, 50-60 Hz, for use around the world.

Like Kloss and Sony, JBL is a brand name that automatically commands a higher price than the competition (my JBL bookshelf system with 14" woofers is still going strong after 35 years). The design, build quality and, of course, sound are simply a notch above the rest. In the case of the JBL On Tour Portable speakers the value is there as well. Unlike some of the 20-30 dollar portable systems I've tried, these don't require you to feed them 4 fresh alkalines every 8 hours; they not only have adjustable volume but require no fumbling for a half-hidden dial; they're designed to stay in one place, no tipping or migrating on a desk or countertop The sound is full-frequencied, with natural presence and adequate volume for most applications. And if you run them off of AC rather than battery power, there's no harm to simply leave them on when you're too busy to disconnect them by folding them up (though I'd prefer a simple on-off switch). On balance, the best bet for an iPod....Read More...
