The Electronic Acupuncture Pen takes away the fear of needles


NEWS – For many years I have heard about Acupuncture and the benefits of this treatment/practice. Wikipedia defines Acupuncture as “a form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. As such, acupuncture is considered a pseudoscience as the theories and practices of TCM are not based upon modern scientific knowledge.”

To be quite honest, the thought of needles inserted into my body scares me beyond any willingness to try it.

However, I just came across a device called the Electronic Acupuncture Pen. Its ad campaign starts with the following verbiage that immediately grabs my interest.

“Do you want to treat body pains with acupuncture but are afraid to be punctured by needles? Then try the Electronic Acupuncture Pen instead. It’s a painless acupuncture stimulation that activates tissues, firms sagging and aging skin, promotes blood circulation, detoxes the meridians, and helps reduce muscle pain.”

If this is, in fact, true, I would be very willing to give it a chance. The Electronic Acupuncture Pen is available on the Yoga Zen Store website for $79.99, and they are currently having a flash sale offering it at the really low price of $19.99.

Turn over your Gadgeteer game night with UNO FLIP!

NEWS – Gadgeteers love games!  Mattel has launched UNO FLIP!, a new variation on UNO, one of the most popular card games ever produced. UNO FLIP!, a new double-sided card game, plays just like original UNO – try to get rid of all your cards by playing matching color or number cards on the discard pile, while also playing change-direction cards or Draw cards, forcing your opponents to pick up additional cards. UNO FLIP! ups that ante by adding a flip card.

Playing this forces everyone to flip over their cards, revealing different numbers and colors on the dark back sides.  You also flip over the deck and play the dark side cards.  There are new penalty cards including a dreaded Draw 5 card.

UNO has always been a popular game because it is simple to learn, but lets players use strategy to outwit their opponents. UNO FLIP! adds new challenges and should prove to make game night even more entertaining.

UNO FLIP! is available now for $5.99 at Target and Walmart online, is expected to hit store shelves at Target in March and be available globally later in 2019.

Saddleback Leather updates the last duffle bag you (or your heirs) will ever need to purchase

Saddleback Leather Co. Beast Duffle in Tobacco

NEWS – Saddleback Leather Co. has updated its largest duffle (SLC’s preferred spelling) bag, which is appropriately named the Beast. Like the majority of Saddleback Leather Company’s bags, the Beast is constructed with full grain leather, marine-grade polyester thread, and stainless steel hardware. The main body of the bag is constructed of two large pieces of leather with additional solid leather ends. The Beast is lined with hard-wearing pig skin which provides a beautiful and hard-wearing interior.

The inside has a single large compartment with smaller pockets on each end.  The Beast is closed by five straps–three along the body and one on each end. This hand-made duffle measures 34″ long by 15″ deep by 14″ high and weighs a hefty 12 pounds. The Beast is rated to hold 50 pounds, but you will be hard-pressed to lift a fully loaded duffle with the single handle.

Like all of SLC’s products, the Beast comes with a 100-year warranty. The Beast is available in Tobacco (medium brown) and Dark Coffee Brown.
