Welcome welcome Earthlings, to the wonders of Barsoom. I will try to keep this is un-spoiler like as possible but I will take for granted that you have at least seen the trailer. If not, here is the trailer, enjoy.
In the newest flick from Disney John Carter, we are introduced to the wonders and oddities of Mars, or as the Martians call it- Barsoom.
John Carter takes place soon after the American Civil War. The story revolves around John Carter who is a rifleman from the confederate army. Since the war he has moved to Arizona, looking for a fabled treasure and ends up finding more then he bargained for.
Upon his arrival on Mars we meet many strange and delightful characters with odd names, including Tars Tarkas and Sola. Both of which are Thark, huge green humanoid aliens which are fiercely barbaric and have four arms. We also meet Dejah Thoris, the princess of the red martians, who are very similar to humans except their blood is of a different color then our own.
The main story follows Carter trying to find his way back home to Earth, and in the process discovering he may be more at home away from Earth then on it.
In regard to the movie itself it is very well put together. This story is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs Princess of Mars book, which is the first in the series of Barsoom stories. Because of this, there is a lot of back story and information in this first book, so the story itself is huge. I had recently read the book which this is based on and enjoyed it. An interesting thing to remember about the book is it was first published in 1917. Thus, it is one of the first huge epic Sci Fi stories. [Read more…]
Make your own Soda in under 30 seconds!
Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you’ll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.
SodaStream is an “Active Green” product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves. Using your own soda make means:
One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.

Review by Mom Does Reviews:
I was so excited to receive my Soda Stream in the mail. But, I think my son was even more excited! He carried one of the heavy boxes up 2 flights of stairs to open it. ( He’s only 9, and most of the time complains about carrying groceries up the stairs.) I was very impressed with the packing of the Soda Stream. Everything was secure and protected, nothing could get broken in shipping. I unpacked both boxes and I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. It seemed like there were so many pieces to assemble. Here is what came in my two boxes:
Normally I let my husband assemble things, but I wanted to put it together on my own. If I can put it together, anyone can! The instruction booklet was very thick, that made me nervous at first, until I realized it was in 10 languages. The only pages that applied were the first two. Soda Stream makes it easy for anyone to put it together. It has step by step directions with pictures and with text. If I questioned myself just by looking at the pictures, I read to text too, just to be safe. So, after all my nervousness, it only took my 5 minutes to put it together. The carbonator had to be screwed in just right and the two main pieces put together. That was about it for assembly!
The fun part is making your own soda. The special liter bottles that come with the soda stream need to be filled with tap water to the fill line. You place the bottle under the carbonator and screw it in place. Then you press the button 3 times for average amount of fizz. I wasn’t sure if I had done it quite right, so I pushed the carbonator button about 5 times for our first liter of homemade soda. Needless to say, our Black Currant/pear soda [Read more…]
