Summer is coming and there's nothing better than a day trip in the great outdoors whether it's a trip to the local park, a spot of walking in the country or a visit to the beach. When you are out and about on your day trip nothing beats a bit of outdoor cooking and some al fresco dining. Up to now the options for the portable barbecue have been very much limited to the metal foil tray instant portable BBQ that comes with charcoal and lighter paper. Apart from being incredibly bad for the environment, scorching the area of ground you are cooking on and adding to the country's landfill, in my experience, these instant portable barbeques give very inconsistent cooking results - you may be able to cook a couple of bangers before the heat vanishes! These new, well-designed portable barbecues are something else altogether.

These portable BBQs are the latest in table-top, garden, patio, balcony, deck, beach and park outdoor sizzlers. There are two distinct styles to choose from; the Fold Flat BBQ and the Carry and Go Briefcase BBQ.

The Fold Flat portable barbecue is exceptionally designed, folds up to an ultra thin ergonomic design and opens up to give a 45 x 30cm cooking area. Sturdily made from pressed steel, the sides provide an integral wind break, and being so portable, you can head out on a day trip whenever you feel the need for the pleasure and mouth-watering aroma you get from a flaming summer barbecue. This is the ultimate in portable mobile BBQs and allows you to take it anywhere.

The Carry and Go Briefcase portable BBQ is also manufactured in pressed steel, the 'Briefcase' folds out to give a substantial 48 x 35cm cooking area with built-in wind breaks to ensure that your hot coals do not blow away. Well-built legs keep the portable barbecue off the ground to prevent you burning any of the surrounding ground where you are cooking. The carry bag is tough and includes a shoulder strap, so it's incredibly easy to take a trip to your perfect barbecue spot.

The Braun Electric Toothbrush is one of many electric toothbrushes on the market. Some would argue that the Braun Electric Toothbrush is the most effective and it certaintly is the most popular, taking in over 5000 searches per month on search engines such as Google.

The flagship braun electric toothbrush is the Oral B. The latest version features a two minute optimal brushing timer, high speed oscillations, pressure sensor warning and a compact charging unit. The most recent model is the Oral B Triumph 9500 which retails at around $80.

The Oral-B Triumph is a significant advancement in rechargeable toothbrushes, setting new standards in customisation, feedback mechanisms, and overall brushing design. An on board computer helps you brush better: The toothbrush tracks your actual brushing and reminds you when to replace your brush head.

However the braun 9500 triumph electric toothbrush, is considered expensive by some people. As a solution to this, braun also offer the 7500 model which is cheaper at around $30.

Overall, braun electric toothbrushes are high quality and come in a variety of different models and price ranges to suit your needs.

Another popular electric toothbrush is the Philips Sensiflex HX 1507. This electric toothbrush is much cheaper than the Oral B Triumph but offers less features. It does not come with a travel box or timer and also only has one speed setting. The good news though is that this electric toothbrush only costs around $20 which is great value for money.

Sharp is a popular brand among LCD TV buyers, and in recent months they have released a new Aquos range that are capable of fully accepting and displaying 1080 signals. As a full-time reviewer, I have had the pleasure of testing the Sharp LC-46 XD1E LCD TV, and will give a rundown on its good and not-so-good points in this article.

Good Points

* Very detailed and sharp picture when fed with high definition source. A native resolution of 1920 x 1080 is not hype... it allows the Sharp to fully display incoming 1080 signals on the screen. As a result you see less pixels and the image takes on a more realistic hue as if you're looking at an object in real-life without any blocks to break up the lines.
* Very deep black level. LCDs generally are taken to have an inferior black level because of their constantly-on backlight, but this Sharp exhibits one of the deepest black I have seen coming from an LCD TV thanks to its proprietary Super View Black panel. This deep black allows the image to become more energetic and 3-dimensional rather than washed out, therefore enhancing your viewing experience.
* Minimal motion blurring. Again, motion rendering is meant to be one of LCD TV's biggest flaw due to "sample-and-hold" effect, so you may see quite a lot of blurring or ghosting during fast action scenes. Sharp's scanning backlight appears to reduce this problem quite significantly: fast moving objects are handled with fluidity and this is the first LCD TV that I could confidently say that I wouldn't mind watching sports on.
* Price. This is the cheapest 46-inch full HD 1080p from a branded manufacturer available on the market right now.

Bad Points

* Red push. Sharp implemented a 4-wave backlight (red, green, blue, crimson red) system to provide more convincing skin tones to the picture, but unfortunately they only managed to introduce red push where the colour of red is too prominent in scenes containing red. You can use the "Colour" control to desaturate all the colours to reduce red push, but this will also make other colours look dull.
* Uneven screen. The larger the screen, the harder it is to maintain a uniform screen, so it is hardly surprising that this 46-inch LCD TV displays vertical and horizontal banding across the screen especially against a mid-grey background. Of course most people wouldn't look at a grey background all day, but it's worth bearing in mind that these bands will be noticeable when the camera pans across a light uniform colour such as blue sky.
* Electronic buzz and humming. Various owners have complained about this, and unfortunately these problem affected my review sample as well. At certain backlight levels, there would be a reasonably loud buzzing and a different character of humming ala French horn. These unwanted noises are present even in standby, so the only way to silence the LCD TV would be to turn the power off totally.

Is the simple act of reading a book uncomfortable?

If you were to study the patent archives it would soon be apparent that for hundreds of years a remedy has been sought to the fundamental problem with reading a book. This is of course manifested in the book usually trying to revert to the position in which it was first manufactured ‘the closed position’.

Millions of people take enormous pleasure from reading books, sometimes for hours at a time but suffer from repetitive discomfort in various parts of the body, particularly in the small muscles of the hands causing a dull ache, also in the neck, back and shoulders.

When reminded of such a discomfort nearly all readers declare ‘yes I suffer with that’ and go on to describe how they constantly move the book from two hands, to one hand and then to the other. This is coupled with a changing of body position, for example when lying in bed the rolling from the left side to the right side and so on. Sound familiar?

This problem has always existed and as previously mentioned the patent searches reveal a variety of attempts to remedy it. It shows all kinds of weird and wonderful designs to deal with this simple problem.

Easy read learnt from an engineering point of view that designing such a device threw up quite a number of complexities to create a solution that really did deal with the simple issue at hand. It was of course very simple to deal with part of the problem but once book size, book reading angle, book thickness and others came into the equation the complexities began. Not least the fact that a book may be asked to be able to stand on uneven surfaces such as the bed clothes, beach or garden lawn.
