Deluxe Bicycle Seat
EasySeat Deluxe
Amazon Price: (as of 11/28/2009)
List Price:
The two seatpads move slightly with the weight and downstroke of the rider, keeping legs fresh mile after mile. Enclosed in the base of each seat pad is a stiff elastomer (cushioning plug) which allows the pads to stay with the riders down stroke providing a very stable ride. The nu-leather covering is perforated to prevent stretching and allowing for a customized fit. The adjustment dial allows for the width separation of the seats to be synchronized and held in place. This allows other riders to adjust to their comfort zone. The EasySeat Deluxe is a unique seat. It may take time to adjust to the firm dual flexing pads. Try it for a couple of weeks and see.

Home Defibrillators
Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator (AED)
Amazon Price: $1,264.99 (as of 11/28/2009)
List Price: $1,995.00
When sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) strikes, the electrical system of the heart short circuits, causing the heart to quiver rather than pump in a normal rhythm. It typically results in the abnormal heart rhythm know as ventricular fibrillation (VF). It usually happens without warning and the majority of people have no previously recognized symptoms of heart disease. And it most often happens at home. For the best chance of survival from SCA caused by VF, a defibrillator should be used within 5 minutes. Yet, less than 1 in 20 people survive largely because a defibrillator does not arrive in time.
That's why we created the HeartStart Home Defibrillator. This award-winning safety equipment has been designed so that virtually anyone can use it to help save the life of a person who suffers a sudden cardiac arrest.
Clear, calm voice instructions talk you through each step. HeartStart senses and adapts the instructions based on your actions. Using sophisticated technology, HeartStart quickly decides whether a shock is necessary. It is designed to only deliver a shock if needed. It will even coach you through the steps of CPR.
