While a steam iron eliminates fabric wrinkles and creases with great efficacy, the impact of a hefty soleplate will not do for some delicate pieces. The intense heat and pressure could decimate Great Aunt Bea's vintage flapper dress with its fragile material and intricate beadwork. Likewise, certain synthetics risk melting upon contact with a standard iron. For such ironing conundrums, Conair developed its professional fabric steamer. Much like the steamers employed at dress shops, the steamer uses hot steam to gently smooth away wrinkles on delicate or synthetic clothing. The steamer also finds favor with those who dislike the stiff results often rendered by the iron. The 1400-watt fabric steamer heats up quickly and runs for approximately 1-1/2 hours on a full water tank. Users fill the tank with ease and refill when alerted by the low water indicator. Pressing the foot pedal turns the steamer on, while the steamer turns off automatically if left idle for safety. The pedal lights up... See less

An intimate and darkly comic memoir of a woman who does a 180 with her body.When she was in her early forties, Frances Kuffel lost half her body weight. In Passing for Thin, Frances describes with unflinching honesty and a wickedly dark sense of humor her first fumbling introductions to her newly slender body, shining a light on the shared human experience of feeling uncomfortable in one’s own skin. She gradually moves from observer to player—enjoying for the first time flirting, exercising, and shopping–as she explores the terrain on the “Planet of Thin.” As Frances gradually comes to know—and love—the stranger in the mirror, she learns that her body does not define her, but enables her to become the woman she’s always wanted to be.

Unimpressed with the few packaged tours that she experienced, the author launched upon the research of worldwide independent travel that would ultimately lead to the publication of How to Go Almost Anywhere for Nothing and to a new career as a writer on travel, consumer and women’s issues. She has traveled extensively in Asia, Europe, North Africa and America. --from the Introduction I began a quest for information on REALLY cheap travel. I researched an extraordinary amount of published material and then embarked upon many years of travel and research in the United States and abroad. I have now traveled extensively and at very little expense in Asia, North America, Europe and a bit in Africa. The scope of this particular volume will necessarily focus on areas with which I have the greatest familiarity. Southeast Asia remains a favorite because of the low ground costs, and the most detailed information will cover Asian ports of call such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and... See less

Strong is the urge to write one's life story as a keepsake for oneself and one's family. The difficulty is knowing where to start, and then where to go from there. Carl and David Marshall, a grandfather-grandson team, have created a fine and fun do-it-yourself autobiography. The cover of the journal-sized Book of Myself is intended to resemble handmade paper; the inside pages have the yellowed hue of a keepsake found in a musty attic trunk. The book is not especially pretty. But the questions--one per page, divided into early, middle, and late years, and then again into sections concerning family, friends, education, work and responsibilities, and the world--are good enough that it hardly matters. Among the 201 jumping-off points included here are questions concerning childhood toys, crushes, and forbidden exploits; adult embarrassments, betrayals, and achievements; and how one's views change over the years. --Jane Steinberg See less
