Hybrid Solar Lite - Waterproof Solar Flashlight

On Earth Day 2009, consumers worldwide will be on the lookout for the latest in green goods. The Hybrid Solar Lite is the perfect item for individuals, households, businesses, and government agencies that wish to do their part to make Earth a cleaner, more livable planet.

The EPA estimates that some 3 billion batteries pollute U.S. landfills annually. Tossing batteries from just four flashlights per American household contributes roughly 1.7 billion of these wasted batteries. These discarded batteries can leak toxins into soil and even water supplies. Because the Hybrid Solar Lite does not require disposable batteries, it slashes the number of batteries that languish in garbage dumps. A typical household can pay for the Hybrid Solar Lite in one year with the money it saves on batteries it no longer needs to purchase...

REVIEW: Disney's BOLT on Blu-ray and DVD

When I first heard about this movie, I was looking forward to seeing it because I almost always enjoy the films from Disney. Then I found out the voice acting was going to be done by John Travolta and Miley Cyrus… my hopes faded quickly. Why? Because many times I find I can't really get into a story if I can easily recognize the voices behind the animated characters. BUT much to my surprise, I was able to watch this picture from beginning to end and I enjoyed it. Hats off to Cyrus and Travolta, however, let me tell you a bit more about BOLT...

BOLT – The Story
The movie opens with an action scene like something from The Incredibles, with a young girl named Penny (Miley Cyrus) and her beloved dog BOLT (John Travolta) being chased by the henchmen of the evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell). Penny's father has been kidnapped by the Dr. so that he will reveal his scientific secrets as to how BOLT was transformed into a special canine with super powers. Of course...
