With the weather getting very cold these days, more people are thinking of keeping warm and not paying more than the usual. So, ow do you keep your heating bill down and still manage to keep you and your family warm in the cold?

Well, one of the solutions could be the use of electric blanket. They help to keep you warm in the cold while keeping your normal heating off. It does not require the use of gas heaters, as such, you would not need to keep the heating in the whole rooms in the house on just to keep warm. The blanket comes with grids of heating panels in them which makes it easy to heat it up.

Using it is very easy - you unzip it like you would normal sleeping bag and zip yourself up. You could also use it like a normal blanket by spreading it over your bed and lie on it. It comes with different levels of heating.  The control is very easy to use, it works like any other control... you choose how hot or warm it should be.

It is safe to use, but it is not suitable for children, so make sure you check the instructions to see if kids and children under certain ages can use it. They are generally safe, but these days of heath and safety gone mad, it is recommended you follow the manufacturers instructions. Again, be sure to check for how to keep it clean and store when not in use in the summer months. Does it cost a lot and can't be used more than one winter?

Remember that the cost does not determine quality of product. Sometimes, even cheaper products last much longer. Ask around, read reviews and do your own research. An extra time spent looking around could save you in the long term. So, if you are looking for Heated blanket, wool blankets or Electric blankets, do check out some of the suggestions we have for you.

A quick update - I have been working along every step learning the rope from one of the best guys I've see online so far. I will post more about that later, but just wanted to let you know why things have been standing still since the last time.

If you haven't checked yet, please see Kozak 1050 Auto Dry Wash Cloth  for some of the deals running right now on Amazon.

That said, there are a few products that I have been working on including  Christmas Gift Ideas and would like you to help test them out. They are still being worked on, so I think it might still take a few weeks before they are ready for the big stage. You know you can't rush these things - they need time and effort before you can truly show them off to the public.

Another thing that I have not had time to work on is one of my previous post I put here a while ago. My plan was to push it up, again, I have been busy with other things that needed more of my time and attention. I spoke about games...do check out the Nintendo Wii Bundle if you haven't. It is good for when you want to let your hair down.

So, because I just popped in to drop this post, I will come back later to make a full feature blog later in the week.

Until  next time

While I didn't enjoy Port Mortuary as much as I did Scarpetta and The Scarpetta Factor, I did like it more than Trace and Predator. I think Ms Cornwell is getting back on track with Scarpetta & company as evidenced by how well Scarpetta and The Scarpetta Factor were done, but she veers dangerously close to Predator's precipice in Port Mortuary.

I found Port Mortuary to be strangely disjointed. It was almost as if it was either a prologue to the story of Scarpetta's career, or an epilogue to the story of Jack Fielding. We started seeing references to Fielding's decay in either Scarpetta or The Scarpetta Factor, or both. Now that arc has evidently concluded.
Why are we just now finding out that Kay Scarpetta was in the military? I don't remember its ever being referred to in any book prior to this one. Was she discharged?

Given all this, I eagerly await Scarpetta's next adventure.

Christmas Gift Ideas - Great Christmas Gift Ideas - Last night, I finally got round to checking out the items I have been collecting for Christmas. It is always nice to start buying presents early so you don't get into the usual annual shopping madness.

This year, I bought a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard which I have always wanted for myself, and a few of Martina Cole's books. The Martina Cole's collection are for my wife. She likes reading her work, so I though I would treat her well this Christmas buy ordering a box of her work.

With the financial situation this bad, only a few items that don't cost much would be ideal. Some people are used to buying expensive things for presents, but I prefer things that are not only practical, but quite usable well after Christmas. What is the need to buy something that won't last but cost alot? If you want to give a gift, it would make sense to spend time researching something that will be appreciated.

Christmas Gift Ideas - Great Christmas Gift Ideas for me, something I also think should be on everyone's shopping list is the 17 inch laptop backpack. This is one of the best laptop backpacks out there for those of us who work away all the time and need to carry our computers and headphones. Because I'm always on the road, getting in touch with friends and family is very important. So, my back allows me enough space to keep my Sennheiser Headphones, books, mobile phones and a few of my CDs.

With these all in the bag - literally, I think that's Christmas Gift Ideas & Great Christmas Gift Ideas present sorted for now.

This camera is great. It took me a while to save up to buy this specific model, and it was worth the wait. I admit to being biased towards Canon's products, but I've stuck with what works for me. This model is well-built, has great features and picture quality, and is just what I was looking for in this class of camera.

The quality is a massive improvement from my previous Canon, the features are advanced, may not be the best thing for beginners. It is definitely larger than a cellphone, so is by no means compact, but I think it makes up for it in function and image quality. If you are looking for an advanced point and shoot in this class/ price range of digital still cameras, I would highly, highly recommend this camera.

It is, I feel, as close as you can get to a DSLR with a point and shoot, but nowhere near as expensive, not cheap, in price or quality. Awesome buy!

In the other blog that I had, I made a post on 17 inch laptop backpack that quickly became the main source of information for those looking for where and how to shop for laptop backpacks. That blog was eventually taken offline by those with deep pockets and no one to answer to.

So, as I have resumed blogging here again, I will try to rewrite some of those old posts if I can remember them. Those that I remember well will be added here, while those that have faded over the months will remain faded.

The last time I posted on this blog was in early 2009. Due to other high ranking blogs that are generating more traffic, I soon abandoned this one and focused all my attention on those ones.

But I have decided to now come back in the hopes that I will try to brush things up again and start blogging here. I have a few things going on and want to be able to use this blog to promote them as much as I can.

As always, I welcome comments and suggestions. I don't mind blogging about other people's products as long as they are not offensive materials. So, if you too would like to promote your product, please get in touch and let's get the ball rolling.
