Dohm DS Sound Machine

The Dohm DS by Marpac is the most popular and best selling sound machine in the world. Some of the reasons for this success is that the Dohm DS is simple, economical, effective and produces a familiar, pleasant sound. The sound from a Dohm is similar to that produced by a fan; a steady mechanical hum with the sound of moving air, yet the Dohm doesn’t blow the air around.

This sound of moving air is a variety of white noise. Some other examples of white noise are sounds such as radio static, waterfall or running water. White noise just means that all frequencies are represented. White noise can be effective at masking most other kinds of annoying sounds because it masks out other sounds by preventing your auditory system from focusing on any particular sound. Just as it’s difficult to hold a conversation at a crowded room, it’s difficult for your brain to focus on any one sound or voice when you’re already hearing sound at every frequency. White noise produced by the Dohm DS can promote sleep by reducing auditory distractions; drowning out other sounds that may distract you and therefore keep you awake.

Sesamee Locks

Sesamee Locks are Made by CCL a division of Illinois Lock Co. and come in many sizes and styles. I have been using Sesamee locks for years and have been impressed with their reliability, quality and ease of use. All Sesamee Locks come pre-set with a 0-0-0-0 combination, but you can easily re-set your Sesamee Lock combination to any four digit number you can easily remember; like an address or the last four digits of your SS number, no key to lose. You can also re-set the combination again and again; but I prefer using the same combination on all my Sesamee Locks.  The all Brass internal mechanism will resist corrosion and give years of dependable service even in harsh conditions.

All the Sesamee Locks have been designed for sightless operation. When turned in the correct direction, all wheels will stop at 0-0-0-0. Once this has been done, simply turn each wheel in the reverse direction and count the clicks until you reach your combination. There is also a much stronger version known as the Super Sesamee which is almost impossible to break.

Dampp Chaser Dehumidifier Rods

The USA made Dampp Chaser Closet Dehumidifier Rods are very simple electrical devices that are mounted at the bottom of your closet. The Dampp Chaser dehumidifier rods warm, dries and circulates air in the confined storage space through a continuous almost imperceptible convection process. As the air is warmed, it becomes lighter and rises to the upper section of the enclosed space. As the slightly warmed air gently rises, the cooler, moist air sinks to the bottom where it is warmed again and the cycle begins again to keep your stored valuables protected from mold, mildew, rust and rot. The slight warming and drying of the air lowers its relative humidity and combined with the gentle circulation of the drier air; results in just the conditions you need to discourage mold growth. To prevent mold just leave the Dampp Chaser on during the moist seasons. Electrical use is minimal. For pennies a day, you can be assured of mold-free clothing and easier breathing.

Soaprocks Made in the USA

Soaprocks are molded and carved from high quality glycerin soap to resemble actual rock or mineral specimens. SoapRocks make a great and unique gift for the geologist, rock collector, crystal lover or rock hound in your life. As a long time collector of mineral specimens, I am amazed at the color, beauty and realism of these Soaprocks made by T.S. Pink in the USA.

USA Made Hoses and Water tools

Gardening and grounds care in general can be a rewarding experience, giving you contact with the outdoors and the natural world and providing exercise, sun and fresh air. Part of the gardening experience involves using tools and you will soon find out that a good tool does a much better job than a cheap, poorly made one. In fact, buying a tool that costs more but lasts longer and gives better service may be the real bargain. One gardening tool that many take for granted is the garden hose. We have found that the U.S.A. Made Flexeel Hoses as well as the new Water Right Hoses have superior construction and components and will last longer while also giving better service than cheaper imported hoses. Watch out for the cheap hoses made from poly vinyl chloride and cheap ester polyurethanes which will leach a lot of toxic breakdown products into your water.
