Magnificent Sound In A Sleek Compact Design: Olasonic TW-S7 Speaker System (Review & Giveaway 24 WINNER'S!)

A Little Bit About The Olasonic TW-S7 Speaker System

Featuring plug-and-play compatibility with PC and Macintosh personal computers using a single USB cable, the TW-S7 installs automatically without the need for special drivers or software. Personal computers generally support high-fidelity sound reproduction that most speaker systems were not designed to handle. The TW-S7 employs direct transfer of digital audio signals over the USB interface to minimize added noise and distortion in order to reveal the full potential for a personal computer to deliver high-fidelity sound reproduction.

Robust bass reproduction is essential for heartfelt musical enjoyment. The compact form factor of the TW-S7 conceals a 60mm diameter long stroke speaker unit and jointly co-developed passive radiator positioned along the same axis. This passive radiator employs bass resonance to provide acoustic bass reinforcement.

 For PC speakers, the listening point is generally 50cm closer than in a standard listening environment. For such near field listening, a sharp sound point is particularly important. The low diffraction, elliptical shape of the TW-S7 provides an ideal point source that faithfully reproduces the position and depth of musical instruments. Additionally, a diffuser employed along the front axis improves orientation by scattering high-range sounds to achieve reproduction of a sharp position and clear sound field.  High-quality silicone insulator stands not only absorb base vibration, they also allow for fine-tuning of the angle of orientation to ensure an ideal stereo listening environment.

My Experience

In our home, as in most, computer's are a big part of our daily lives.Whether I'm working, the kids are doing school work, or we're simply using them for recreation.......our laptops and desktop get regular daily use.  While working, I love to listen to some of my favorite tunes to help the time pass more quickly.  Though my laptop is one of the very best on the market, the sound quality of the built in speaker's leaves much to be desired!

The New Olasonic TW-S7 USB speaker system  (releasing in the U.S. August 1, 2011) has completely solved that problem! With a quick and easy "plug and play" setup, it's only takes a few seconds to plug these sleek compact speakers into a USB port and achieve gorgeous sound on any personal computer! The clarity of the sound and base produced by this compact system is truly remarkable (listen to the Olasonic TW-S7 system in video above). Although the system is compact, it produces BIG SOUND (we use the TW-S7's more frequently than our home stereo now). The silicone insulator stands help to absorb the vibration from the base, for the ultimate listening experience. Olasonic's system is also perfect for enhancing the sound of your  favorite movies! We plan on taking our laptop & TW-S7 speaker's with us on vacation next weekend., so that that we can all enjoy our favorite movie's & music on the go.

Olasonic's TW-S7 speaker's offer magnificent sound quality, in a sleek compact design.

BUY IT:

Olasonic's TW-S7 speaker system at http://www.amazon.com/ will be made available for purchase at http://www.amazon.com/ in the United States on August 1, 2011.

Inspire Imagination & Creativity This Summer With Build A Dream Playhouse (Review & Giveaway)

At Build a Dream Playhouses™, we strive to deliver safe, affordable, eco-friendly products that stimulate and encourage the endless imagination of ALL children. Our quality products offer the tangible framework for children to place their intangible dreams.

Build a Dream Playhouses™ was founded by a Cleveland father dedicated to the futures of the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the imaginations of children. To achieve that, and reflecting on his city’s hard times, he collaborated with the world famous Nottingham-Spirk Design Associates, a group of 3 to 9 year old children, and the Smurfit Stone Container Corporation, Build a Dream Playhouses™ is now proud to introduce to you what we believe to be the most innovative, fresh, and fun playhouses on the market. We hope you enjoy our products and we look forward to introducing many more in the near future.

The cardboard box has been an outlet for children’s creativity for years. We have yet to find an adult that cannot recollect a childhood memory of playing in a box. From traveling through time, to flying through space, to sailing the open seas, a child’s imagination allows a cardboard box to transcend all that is material. THAT is the essence of Build a Dream Playhouses.™

Our Experience

This year was our son's first year of school.  Throughout the school year he was encouraged to get involved in our local community, and at the end of the year they completed their first "Community Action" project for school. Each of them were encouraged to pick a charity (from a provided list) and donate a few hours of their time. B chose Alex's Lemonade Stand.  He participated in their National Lemonade Day's by holding his stand in front of our local YMCA. We spent the weeks prior planning and preparing for the big day.  The kids got in the spirit by coloring, helping me assemble, and playing with the Snack Shack by Build A Dream Playhouses!

Our kiddo's spent an entire rainy afternoon coloring their Snack Shack (FUN! perfect activity for a rainy day) and the following day we assembled it (assembly is quick and simple - see below video). They have enjoyed COUNTLESS HOURS of imaginative play in their unique creation..  The pride that came from actually creating it has made it one of their most cherished toys.  I'm positive they'll enjoy many more hours of memory making FUN in their Build A Dream Playhouses Snack Shack.

Inspire creativity and imagination in your little one's this Summer, with a customizable creation from Build A Dream Playhouses!

Red Baron Pizza Challenge: The Real Deal (Review & Giveaway~5 Winner's)

 

A Little Bit About Red Baron Pan Pizza & The Real Deal Pizza Challenge

It's the first frozen pan pizza of its kind. A thick pan-style crust with a special seasoned baking pan creates a unique crust that's light and airy on the inside, golden crisp on the outside. Nobody delivers pizzeria-style pan pizza better - or faster!

Red Baron and Howie Mandel have joined forces against delivery pizza’s purported deals and are showing Americans that Red Baron's new Pan Pizza is the real deal in terms of value, convenience and taste.

( ABOVE VIDEO: Red Baron: The Real Deal - The Campbell Family Take The Challenge)

Our Experience

Every week we have a family movie night in our home, though the exact day isn't a constant (sometimes we have it on  Friday, sometimes Saturday) there is one thing that always is.....we MUST have pizza present! It's become a tradition of sorts. Generally we order in, but for the past few weeks now we have been enjoying Red Baron Pan Pizza....and I think we've found a new tradition! Ready in minutes, the fluffy crust (yet, still with the perfect balance of crunch) coupled with the delicious sauce of Red Baron's Pan Pizza is far more tasty than delivery.  It's also incredibly convenient and budget friendly!

Whether your crunched for time and nead a tasty meal quickly, or your looking to create great family memories over a delicious FUN meal....I suggest you take the Red Barron Pizza challenge! It's the REAL DEAL (and deliciously so)!

My Experience

Being a mother and a pathological picture taker go hand in hand, right? In trying to capture the special moments with family and all the moments in between, I carry my camera's with me everywhere. Though I thought my compact digital camera was of fair quality, it was nothing in comparison to the Pentax Optio RS1500!

The Optio's compact sleek design makes it convenient to carry with me just about anywhere.  With the included fashion skins I can  express my style and even match my camera to my outfit, if I so desire. Pentax, has taken it one step further with their customizable skin templates, with your image and a printer you can design a custom skin that matches your personality perfectly.

Snapping perfect photo's is simple with the Optio's 14 Megapixel resolution - the camera captures memories with a vibrant crisp perfection every time. Another plus? I love how fast images are captured with the Optio! With my old compact digital camera there was a slight delay.....and with little ones that are constantly on the move this would often mean missing that perfect shot. This camera is also pleasantly overflowing with special features and on-board editing options. The Small Face Filter allows you to reduce the size of faces in your images for well proportioned portraits, and the Natural Skin Tone feature enhances skin tone while smoothing blemishes.  Enhance your pictures with a cute frame border, with the Frame Composite feature, and take your photo's to a new level of perfection with the Red-Eye Compensation feature, Cropping Tools, Resizing Feature, and Digitally Filter's.  All of these features are available within the unit-and are easily navigated with the large 3 inch screen on the back of the camera.

Finally! A POWERFUL compact camera with TONS of style! Take your passion for photography to the next level with the Pentax Optio RS1500.

Our Experience

Bubbles are one of my absolute favorite pastimes from childhood! After recently seeing The Gazillion Bubble Show at the New World Stages in New York, our kid's are now completely mesmerized with the science and art of Bubble making. They have spent countless hours trying to recreate the scenes from the Gazillion Bubble Show, and now they can with the Gazillion Bubble Typhoon! Dispersing hundreds of bubbles every minute, the Gazillion Bubble Typhoon disperses a blizzard of bubbles just as they do in the show! Kid's and adults alike) LOVE IT! Simply fill the tank in the base, and push the button for hours of bubble fun the entire family can enjoy!

The kid's have also been enjoying racing the Tonka Road Crew Truck through the sandbox in the backyard.  With the realistic blinking detour sign I'm positive it will continue to foster creative play for a long time to come!

Disney's Have A Laugh Volumes 3 & 4 on DVD (Review)

A Little Bit About Disney's Have A Laugh Volumes 3 & 4

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment recently released HAVE A LAUGH: Volumes 3 & 4 on DVD! Classic shorts featuring Mickey, Donald, Goofy & Pluto are fully restored and re-mastered! Both volumes also include brand new "Re-MICKS" features, which are comprised of modern musical hits under classic cartoon clips!

 

Our Experience

Mickey is one of the most beloved childhood characters! Even as an adult, my affinity for all thing's Disney is still strong! It was tons of fun to show the kid's some of the cartoon shorts that we used to watch as children. Though the cartoon animation and styling is vastly different than what they are accustomed to with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, they were equally delighted and entertained by the lovable timeless cast!

Great choice for family movie night!

BUY IT: Disney's Have A Laugh Volumes 3 & 4 on DVD are now available at a retailer near you, and online at http://www.amazon.com/

My Experience

Growing up, there was a glamour synonymous with Schwinn.  Even as children we  just KNEW that Schwinn meant greatness. They offer the very best in bikes and have models available for all levels of recreation & sport biking. Myself, I'm a leisure biker. I prefer to take it slow and enjoy the gorgeous scenery that comes along with the Summer months here in the Northeast part of the country. The Schwinn Legacy Cruiser allows me to do just that.  This model is a 1-speed and is meant specifically for leisure rider's like myself. The frame style is reminiscent of some of the original Schwinn models you may remember from childhood. The vibrant colors, simple style, and wide-body frame allow for a smooth comfortable ride. I'm happy to say that even after all of these years, Schwinn still embodies the same greatness that I remember from childhood.   Take a spin in style this Summer with the Schwinn Legacy Cruiser!

Natural Style From Green Earth Bamboo (Review & Giveaway)

A Little Bit About Green Earth Bamboo

Our mission is really quite simple… We want to bring our customers the highest quality products at the best prices, while providing a hassle-free and enjoyable shopping experience. Green Earth Bamboo offer's Bamboo Bedding Bamboo Bath Towels, Bamboo Baby and Adult Bamboo Clothing.  Bamboo is one of the more eco-friendly products that you will find. For starters, bamboo grows at an astonishing rate of up to 4 feet a day. I know it’s hard to believe. So, you can imagine that there is an abundance of it, primarily in Asia. It really is a very sustainable resource. In case you were wondering, the type of bamboo that is used for our products is not the same species that panda bears eat. There are hundreds of species of bamboo.

One of the other great things about bamboo is the fact that it is naturally antimicrobial and therefore does not require any pesticides or herbicides throughout it’s growth process. Green Earth Bamboo is approved by Green America, and all of their products are Certified USDA Organic.

A Little Bit About The Ombre Fashion Scarf

If you are trying to pick out a gift for a friend and can't quite find that simple but elegant accessory you just know they will love...these beautiful hand painted scarves are just breathtaking. Made from 100% viscose from bamboo, each scarf is hand painted in ombré style. This is a process in which each scarf is dyed by hand giving them slight variations so that each scarf is unique. The colors graduate from one side to the other, melting across the fabric and producing a brilliant color blend. With 5 great colors to choose from, it is sure to be her favorite accessory yet!

My Experience

The incomparable softness of viscose from Bamboo, is truly unlike any other fabric I've experienced. Browsing through Green Earth Bamboo's site you will find a huge selection of item's for your home and fashions for the entire family. Already having a large selection of Bamboo clothing, I chose the gorgeous Hand Painted Ombre Fashion Scarf (Pictured Above-Available in 5 Color Choices). With gorgeous fluctuations in color, it's the perfect accessory for any attire. It can be worn both casually and formally - and with it's generous size it can also double as a wrap (great for Summer evenings, when temperatures get a bit cool after the sun goes down).

The soft comfort of the natural styles available at Green Earth Bamboo are a total Luxury....at an affordable price.
