The iPhone Of AM Talk Radios!




If you like talk radio as much as I do then you will LOVE this CCRadio2!

The biggest flaw on most AM/FM radios is reception and this one BLOWS the others away. I listen to LA stations from San Diego NO problem.

PLUS it's specifically designed for talk radio with it's awesome talk clarity.

The radio designed for long-range AM Reception and now Emergencies!

The new CCRadio-2 has the same familiar look and layout as previous models of the CCRadio but with even better AM Reception and the addition of the 2-Meter Ham Band. The boost in AM performance comes from our patented Twin-Coil Ferrite® AM Antenna, and other improvements built into the CCRadio-2. AM stations continue to sound just right, thanks to audio that's optimized for voice clarity. After you select a station, the CCRadio-2 evaluates the signal for several seconds and then locks in for the highest signal possible.

FM reception is a little better than the CCRadioplus while the Weather Band can keep you informed of any government-issued alerts. The addition of the 2-Meter Ham band may make the CCRadio-2 a life saver during an emergency like hurricane Katrina. Two Meter Ham operators are early on the scene and they donate their time while handling perhaps 90% of emergency coordination efforts. The CCRadio-2 can act like a simple radio scanner and search the five memories for ham operator communications. The sensitivity (squelch) can be adjusted for best results. More information about the 2-Meter Ham Band can be found at CCRadio.com/2-meter.

The CCRadio-2 comes in our original Black Mica or a new Titanium color. It features a brighter, clearer LCD display with a full backlight and three levels of adjustable brightness plus an "off " setting. Five years ago we made changes to the durability of our CCRadio LCD display that have proven to be robust. Other features include: 5 memories per band (AM, FM, Weather and 2-Meter bands), adjustable display light, adjustable bass and treble, clock alarm, sleep timer, auto scan, stereo headphone jack, line-input jack, and line-output jack.

Weight: 4 lbs (without optional batteries) Size: 11" W x 6.5" H x 4" D.

Hammacher-Schlemmer
The Coolest Catalog Gives Us The Best Toaster Oven A Dorm Will Ever See!




This toaster oven earned the highest rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it quickly cooked chicken, pizza, and cookies and maintained a constant cooking temperature. Also described by The Wall Street Journal as capable of doing "just about everything we use the oven for," The Best Toaster Oven's internal temperature varied only 11º F when set to 450º F, far superior to lesser units that varied as much as 60.6º F. This temperature accuracy enabled The Best Toaster Oven to produce succulent chicken with a crisp, golden-brown skin and a moist, tender interior, while other ovens burned the skin and overcooked the meat. The Best model has nine settings--the most of any oven--designed for specific foods (pizza, bagel, cookies). It suggests ideal cooking temperatures and times for each foodstuff and automatically adjusts the heat for optimal results. The 1800-watt oven broils, cooks with convection, and defrosts at the touch of a button, its easy-to-read LCD shows temperatures and cooking times, and the 0.8 cubic foot interior accommodates a 12" pizza or six pieces of toast. 10 3/4" H x 18 1/2" W x 12 1/2" D. (21 1/2 lbs.)

Streetwise Blackout 1.5 Million Rechargeable Stun Rod




“Are you searching for a device that is strong, easy grip
and delivers maximum results for your protection?

Then we have what you need with the
1.5 million rechargeable stun rod.”

Gone are the days when you need to search for a device that you need to be strong, but fails when you need it the most. We have done the work for you and present you with the strongest stun pen on the market.

As a 1.5 million rechargeable stun rod, this device is not just powerful, but measuring in at six and one-quarter inch by one inch thick, this device is also easy to conceal when it's not needed and easy to handle when it is.

Stun batons, otherwise known as stun gun batons, are extended reach stun guns with substantial power. As Chinese martial arts masters say, when it comes to life threatening combat, "an inch longer is an inch stronger". The theory behind that saying is, the longer the weapon, the sooner and faster you can attack your opponent. As a result, the chance of defeating your challenger is increased. Basically, you can attack your assailant with these extended reach self defense baton before the assailant can reach you. Also, the long design of the stun baton provides you with a maximum amount of safety by allowing you to maintain a good distance from your attacker. Simply touches the assailant with the stun gun baton and pull the trigger: three to five seconds will leave the assailant dazed and temporarily paralyzed.

Despite the extended reach and a remarkable stopping power, these stun batons also offers another lifesaving feature. Not only is the current delivered from the prongs on the tip of the baton, but the shockable surface area is extended few inches down from the tip on either side of the baton. This unique feature will prevent an assailant from grabbing the stun baton and taking it away from you.

TechSafe Cable Lock System
Secure yet mobile lock for laptops



Security for your laptop or notebook without sacrificing mobility.

Think about your laptop computer; you love its mobility, you love being able to put it on your lap, your table, your desk, however you want, wherever you are. But you also need to be able to set it on your desk or table top without worrying whether it'll be there when you come back.

That's where TechSafe comes in. Its unique hardened steel security blade slips through the strongest point of your laptop: its hinge.
