Summary The Magic Bullet is a compact blender manufactured by Homeland Housewares. It's widely marketed through television commercials and infomercials and sold in retail stores under the "As seen on TV" banner. Description The Magic Bullet is a personal blender that is designed to be used as a space saving replacement for other appliances such as a blender, food processor, and electric juicer. The Magic Bullet consists of an electric blender base with a number of attachments. Some of the attachments are included with the product; others must be purchased separately. These consist of: * Two mixing cups, one short and one tall. * A set of handled cups, called "Party Mugs" by the manufacturer, which can be used to blend individual drinks * Threaded lids for the cups, intended for saving things made using the appliance. * Perforated lids for the cups. These lids are intended to: o Ventilate items cooked in the cup when using a microwave oven. o Dispense hard foods, such as cinnamon and Parmesan cheese, that have been ground using the appliance and served in the cups. * Two screw-on blade attachments: A "cross blade" (used for chopping foods and crushing ice), and a "flat blade" (used for chopping harder foods like spices and hard cheeses, as well as for whipping) * Different colored "Comfort Lip Rings", which cover the threads on the tops of the mugs. * A instruction manual which also contains a recipe book("Magic Bullet 10 Second Recipes and Owner Manual"), featuring recipes prepared in the infomercial and others. * Other attachments include a full size blender pitcher and a manual juice extractor attachment. Product Features The Magic Bullet differs from other blenders in that there is no on/off switch. The appliance is used by attaching a blade attachment to the desired cup and fitting the assembly upside down on top of the base. The base contains the motor that turns the blade, which is inside the cup. When the cup and blade are pressed down and turned, the motor engages and spins the blade. When the cup is removed from the base, the motor turns off.

Title: The Lost Ark of the CovenantAuthor: Tudor ParfittFormat: HardboundCondition: Very Good – dull edgesPrice: P250 Synopsis: "The Lost Ark of the Covenant" is the real-life account of an astounding uest--professor Tudor Parfitt's effort to recover the revered artifact that contained the Ten Commandments, sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This holy object disappeared from the Temple when the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem in 586 BC and was lost--apparently forever. According to the biblical account, the Ark was built at the command of God, in accord with Moses's prophetic vision on Mount Sinai. The Ark, believed to be the throne of God, was carried by the Israelite high priests in the wilderness during their harrowing search for a homeland. When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem, the Ark entered the domain of legend. The mysterious disappearance of arguably the most important religious artifact in history led to a plethora of theories about the location of the Ark. Its whereabouts unknown, adventurers risked their lives and fortunes for over two millennia in attempts to discover this sacred treasure. With painstaking historical scholarship, groundbreaking genetic science, and hair-raising fieldwork, Parfitt, who the "Wall Street Journal" calls "a British Indiana Jones," debunks the previous myths and reveals the shocking history of the Ark and its keepers. From Israel to Egypt, Ethiopia, and the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, the journey leads to places Parfitt could never have imagined. He encounters a cannibalistic tribe in Papua, New Guinea. He is ambushed and shot at in Africa. And he narrowly escapes being kidnapped by Islamist outlaws in the wilder reaches of Yemen.Throughout his search, he is aided by a motley crew of kabbalistic mystics, Muslim holy men, charlatans and crooks, tribal elders, and scheming politicians. "The Lost Ark of the Covenant" is a vivid and page-turning account of the culmination of two decades of research by an acclaimed scholar and adventurer. In the end, legend becomes reality as an unknown history comes to light, and with it our understanding of this lost treasure is changed forever.

SUMMARY/SYNOPSIS: Today's most revered, feared, and controversial Chinese novelist offers a tour de force in which the real, the absurd, the comical, and the tragic are blended into a fascinating read. The hero-or antihero-of Mo Yan's novel is Ximen Nao, a landowner known for his generosity and kindness and benevolence to his peasants. However, during Mao's Land Reform Movement of 1948, he is not only stripped of his land and worldly possessions but cruelly executed, despite his protestations of innocence. The novel opens in Hell, where Lord Yama, king of the underworld, has Ximen Nao tortured endlessly in order to force a confession of guilt from him. When his efforts remain fruitless, Lord Yama allows Ximen Nao to return to earth, where he is reborn not as a human, but first as a donkey, then a horse, a pig, a monkey, and, finally, the big-headed boy Lan Qiansui. Through the eyes of animal and boy, Ximen Nao takes us on a deliriously unique journey through fifty years of peasant history in China, right to the edge of the new millennium. Here is an absolutely riveting tale that reveals the author's love of a homeland beset by ills inevitable, political, and traditional. BOOK REVIEW: "Mo Yan’s powerful new novel Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out... is a kind of documentary, carrying the reader across time from the land reform at the end of the Chinese Civil War, through the establishment of mutual-aid teams and lower-level cooperatives in the early and mid-1950s, into the extreme years of the Great Leap Forward and the famine of the late ’50s and early ’60s, and on to the steady erosion of the collective economy in the new era of largely unregulated ‘capitalism with socialist characteristics’ ... Yet although one can say that the political dramas narrated by Mo Yan are historically faithful to the currently known record, Life and Death remains a wildly visionary and creative novel, constantly mocking and rearranging itself and jolting the reader with its own internal commentary. This is politics as pathology". – Jonathan Spence, Sunday Book Review, The New York Times
