This training device helps you to exercise hard-to-reach core abdominal and oblique muscles while allowing you to improve balance and coordination without having to go to a gym (see it in action). The board has a non-slip platform with raised rubber toe and heel plates for better traction, and when mounted and activated using the remote control, the board pitches and yaws at three different speeds--slow, medium, or fast--forcing your abdominal muscles to contract in order for you to keep balance, resulting in a low-impact core workout. You can also initiate a 15 minute cross-training program that shifts between the three speeds intermittently. An automatic timer shuts off the device after 15 minutes. Four non-skid rubber pads keep the board stationary while in use and will not mar hardwood surfaces. Plugs into AC. Supports 250 lbs. Remote includes one CR2032 battery. 29 1/2 L x 10 W x 14 D. (49 1/2 lbs.).

Offered exclusively by Hammacher Schlemmer, this light system uses a geared differential to spin two 4 1/2 diam. mirrored globes that rotate and reflect light from 32 multicolored LEDs to produce a bright cascade of yellow, red, green, blue, and white lights on the ceiling, floor, and all walls of a room. Plugs into AC. 8 1/2 H x 12 W x 7 D. (3 lbs.).

This weather station has its own receiver that collects signals broadcast by MSN Direct (verify the signal availability) on an FM sub-band at 66.75 kHz, which automatically detects its location, calibrates its clock, and wirelessly displays your region's weather information, providing convenient, reliable outdoor conditions reporting without the need to install and manage your own sensors. A large back-lit LCD with six fields uses 1 numbers to display indoor and outdoor temperature, barometric pressure, humidity trends and history, wind speed, direction, and gust, wind chill, dew-point, heat and UV index, rain level in the past 24 hours, sunrise and sunset, visibility in miles, and phases of the moon. It issues National Weather Service severe weather warnings and provides four-day forecasts. Includes an alarm clock with eight-minute snooze. Plugs into AC. Requires four AA batteries for backup. Signal is available in most urban and suburban areas. 10 1/2 L x 5 W x 6 H. (1 1/4 lbs.).

WAS 27.95 NOW 15.95 These books are written and illustrated by renowned pop-up book artists Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart.

These mercerized Egyptian cotton sateen sheets have 1,200 threads per square inch for a noticeably smooth hand, an elegant drape, and a lustrous finish. The sheets are woven of the finest quality two-ply yarn from Egyptian cotton fibers which are 30% longer than other cotton varieties, resulting in cloth that is more durable, more colorfast, smoother, and more comfortable. Set includes a fitted sheet oversized to fit 19 deep mattresses, two pillowcases with double-pleated hems, and an oversized flat sheet with 4 solid cap double-pleated hems. The sheets become softer with every machine washing. Imported. Queen Set. Please specify White, Ivory, Sage, Taupe, or Gold. (8 lbs.).

Ideal for examining the finer details of stamps and coins, tying flies, or simply threading a needle, these are the hands-free 2X magnifying lenses that are worn like eyeglasses and provide clear resolution of minute detail. Made by Eschenbach, renowned purveyors of precision eyewear in Germany since 1913, each lenspiece may be individually focused to ±3 diopters. The magnifying glasses contain no sharp edges, and are flexible and lightweight enough (less than two ounces) for comfortable extended use. While not designed as a substitute for reading glasses, they are optimized to focus on objects with a working distance of 16, and the lenses are made from durable scratch-resistant PXM plastic. 2 3/4 H x 4 W x 7 L. (1 3/4 oz.).

This is the showerhead used by five-star resort spas for its power, water-saving technology, and durability. Using the Venturi principle of fluid mechanics, the showerhead has 16 air vents that inject oxygen into the chamber, displacing some of the water, as a three-fin turbine accelerates water velocity through a narrow channel before the water exits the showerhead, resulting in increased pressure while using 30%-70% less water than a standard showerhead. Manufactured using acetal resin engineering plastic, renowned as a low-friction and wear-resistant metal substitute, the showerhead will neither clog nor corrode, ensuring a lifetime of optimal water flow. The spray dynamics have a comfort-control feature that adjusts to achieve a soft mist or massaging spray and runs using 1/2 plumbing. Chrome. 5 1/4 L x 3 1/4 Diam. (1 lb.).

Used to predict weather since 1750, this mysterious device was employed by Admiral FitzRoy, captain of the H.M.S. Beagle, when he and his lieutenant, Charles Darwin, voyaged to the Galapagos Islands in 1831. Although how it functions remains a mystery, the ability of the stormglass to predict atmospheric change is well documented. One theory states that the stormglass responds to electromagnetic fluctuations caused by weather and solar storms. The contained liquid--a mixture of distilled water, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride, alcohol, and camphor--appears cloudy when precipitation is approaching; when crystals are visible in the liquid, humid or foggy weather can be expected; a cloudy glass with small stars indicates thunderstorms. The hermetically sealed glass chamber is housed in a handcrafted brass cylinder. Includes brass hook for wall mounting and a chart to interpret stormglass readings. 5 3/4 H x 1 2/3 Diam. (15 3/4 oz.).

This simple portable device transfers digital photos from your SD memory card to your iPod without the use of a PC. The connector can send up to 20 pictures in one minute to your iPod using the handheld player's control panel. About the size of a matchbook, the lightweight digital photo device fits unobtrusively in a pocket or backpack and does not require the use of cables, batteries, or software. Compatible with iPod Photo and Video. Specify Black or White. 2 H x 2 W x 1/4 L. (3 1/4 oz.).
