4′ High Roadside Emergency Beacon

It pays unspoken dividends to make sure that your vehicle is well serviced according to the manufacturer’s specifications and timetable, as a breakdown could prove to be a rather expensive affair, even more so after you have paid the hefty towing charges. Well, just in case you have done your part and your ride still breaks down for some reason or another, such as a busted tyre, it is time to pull over, roll back those sleeves and get down to work. Of course, doing so would also mean you have to be careful so that other motorists will be able to see you from a distance away, and having those hazard lights turned on along with a safety reflective triangle are definitely good ideas.

Here is one more good idea – the $99.95 4′ High Roadside Emergency Beacon, where this beacon will remain affixed to the roof of a car, offering superior visibility in an emergency. It will be different from roadside flares, window-mounted triangles or a car’s flashers, as those tend to be low on the ground, but this extra tall beacon remains elevated for it to be seen from a distance. Not only does it make life easier for first responders to locate a disabled vehicle, it also offers oncoming traffic additional reaction time to slow down. The beacon itself holds 16 ultra-bright red and white LEDs which will flash a 360-degree warning signal, and has enough juice to last for up to 10 hours. Best to make sure you have a trio of AAA batteries as spares when you travel long distance, just in case!

Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane

Do you love cycling? If you have answered in the affirmative, then surely you would do your very best to make your travel arrangements around the rest of the bicycle-friendly public transport around town, especially when there are great distances to travel between your home and the destination of choice. Sometimes, you might have to travel in the wee hours of the morning, or late into the night, and those are dangerous times for cyclists since visibility is extremely low. Well, perhaps if you had the $39.95 Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane, things might brighten up for you?

The Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane works this way – it is mounted to your bicycle’s seat post, where it will then project a couple of 5-milliwat red lasers onto the ground, which will generate a virtual bicycle lane. This offers motorists with a visual indicator of a cyclist’s riding width, helping you visually increase the safety margin around yourself during those pre-dawn or dusk rides. Oncoming vehicles, as well as those from behind, can actually see you even with their headlights turned on, from over a mile away. The 6′-long lane will begin mid-cycle at the seat post and extends all the way behind, while another 5 more red LEDs help increase your visibility as a standard blinking taillight. The Cyclist’s Virtual Safety Lane is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.

Mobile Blastmaster

Remember the 1980s? Ah well, I am quite sure that many of the younger generation who were born in the 1990s would not have had the kind of fun that we had with ghetto blasters as well as boomboxes, basically being a terror on every side of the adults in the neighborhood. While we generally made a big nuisance of ourselves, this did not mean that we were out to do harm to anyone, unlike the seemingly more violence-inclined society of today. Well, if you are absolutely the type who needs to go one up on the rest of the “competition”, or peers, then you would surely find a way to scrounge up $4,000 lying around somewhere for the Mobile Blastmaster.

The Mobile Blastmaster has been described as a portable stereo system that will bring the ultimate optimization to the 30 year-old concept of the portable audio player, where it allows you to invite the police to come knocking on your front doorstep early in the wee hours of the morning as you blast your music at backyard or tailgate parties. Specially constructed onto a steel chassis, it will roll on a quartet of 10″-diameter pneumatic tires regardless of the terrain, sand and snow included, and is pulled along and steered with an integrated wagon handle. The eight PA-quality Piezo horn tweeters, two “6×9″ mid-range speakers, and a 12″ dual-voice coil subwoofer with dedicated crossover will work together to pump out 2,000 watts of pure audio pleasure.

The Hanging Cocoon will cocoon (hence its name) its user within a private suspended sanctuary, making it the ideal spot to read, unwind, or perform a personal reflection session. It has been inspired by the hanging, tapering nests of weaver birds, boasting of a semi-enclosed design that makes it equally private for both adults and children alike. Capable of supporting up to 440 lbs. when hung, the eight-section aluminum ring allows you to assemble in minutes.

Crow’s Feet Reducing Skin Toner

Everyone would love to remain young forever, which is why great monarchs and heroes of the past have always been on the lookout for the next big thing, and would give up their entire fortune if they succeeded in discovering the location of the fabled fountain of youth (which does not exist, so don’t bother). Well, other than adhering to all of the other principles of good health such as eating right, getting enough exercise, and sleeping well, what else can you do? Sure, having the right supplements in your body system is a decent idea, but how about a little bit of external help?

This is where the $139.95 Crow’s Feet Reducing Skin Toner comes in handy, as this particular device would tighten skin while help diminish wrinkles around the eyes, all without having to send you under the surgeon’s knife for a procedure in the operating theater. It is said that the Crow’s Feet Reducing Skin Toner relies on similar technology that is used by professional aestheticians, where it will emit safe, gentle micro currents which in turn stimulate muscle contractions so that it can help strengthen and tighten the skin while reducing wrinkles in the process. No idea on whether it works as advertised, but hey, it carries the Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee so that goes to say something.
