Recently, Paula and I attended the Stargate Convention in Vancouver where we met stars of the show and mingled with many other fans from all over the world.

We visited the Stargate movie set at the Bridge St Movie Lot which was very exciting and we were taken to both the Stargate SG1 and the Stargate Atlantis sets where we  had photos taken in front of the SG1 gate.

The merchandising was pretty incredible and because we were travelling we had to be content at the time, simply to look.

Now that we are at home we are able to purchase action figures, posters and comics online.

Yogurt makes an ideal in between meals snack or a tasty dessert served with fruit. I find that making my own yogurt means I can use the freshest ingredients for the tastes that I want and I can control the amount of sugar used.

Yogurt is a healthy alternative to other less nutritous snacks for children. My kids love the taste of home made yogurt. And making greek yogurt to go with salads is another way to make sure I get the most out of my yogurt maker.

Most yogurt makers come with a recipe book to get you started but once you are familiar with your machine it is no problem to experiement with combinations of fruit and ingredients to give you a variety of yogurts to have on hand.

Extra jars are availalbe so that there is always a ready supply on hand.

When summer is upon us there is nothing quite as refreshing as an iced beverage.

An iced tea maker is ideal for making not only tea but also iced coffee.

There are a number of versions of iced tea makers and choosing one will depend on a number of things such as the size of your family.

The Hamilton Beach 2-Quart Electric Iced Tea Maker is very popular and brews a pitcher full of delicious iced tea in 10 minutes.

Simply fill the pitcher with ice cubes, place loose tea or tea bags in the special paperless filter, add the water, select the strength of tea that you like, turn it on and before long you and your family will be enjoying glasses of cool iced tea.

Another quality iced tea maker is the Mr. Coffee TM3-2 3 Quart Ice Tea Maker.

This is a small appliance that will sit nicely on your countertop ready for when you are in the mood for a nice cool glass of iced tea.

This appliance has an indicator light that lets you know when the tea is ready.

You can read the reviews and check out some other Ice Tea Makers Amazon.com.

And what a great gift idea for your iced tea drinking friends.

After years of going shopping, only to forget a number of the items I went to buy, I have found the perfect answer to this problem.

The voice recognition printable grocery list organizer is such an invaluable item that I mentioned it to Paula and suggested that this was something that she might find handy.

The organizer is pre-loaded with over 2,500 food, beverage, household, beauty, and office items, and recognizes words as specific as tea, sugar, and soap powder, so you can store the items you require simply by speaking the name of the item into the organiser.

The printable grocery list organizer attaches magnetically to your refrigerator and it can all be mounted on the wall or kept on a countertop, wherever it is most convenient for you.

The organizer uses a speaker-independent voice recognition system to match a spoken item with one in its database and you can add up to a maximum of 5000 items into the organizer’s database. This means you can use also use it to remind you of errands such as going to the bank, library, or any other important appointment.

It has an easy-to-read LCD screen that puts your list in alphabetical order and you simply press the print button to generate a categorized list from the device’s built-in thermal printer (never requires ink replacement).

The organizer will automatically turn off its voice recognition system after 30 seconds of inactivity, yet it still displays your shopping list on its screen.
The grocery list organizer takes four AA batteries, it measures 7 1/2″ H x 4″ W x 1 1/4″ D and weighs a light 10 1/2 oz.

Buying golf balls online is easy and convenient. You can find all you golf ball requirements whether you are after practice golf balls or for your regular game.

Although I don’t play golf, not having the necessary talent to hit the ball, a number of my friends are completely hooked on the game and spend countless hours chasing the little white ball around the golf course.

Golf is very much a game of skill and requires a lot of practice to become proficient. So the average golfer tends to use a lot of golf balls both during play and practice.

Why not buy your golfing buddies some golf balls as a gift for birthdays or christmas. I recently brought a set of golf balls imprinted with the Indiana Hoosiers logo. So why not buy your friend a set of golf balls imprinted with their favourite teams logo or maybe even personalised with your friends initials.
