Insects can ruin a picnic or deck party in no time, so this electronic bug zapper helps keep the flying variety away at least. Protecting a full acre, the Stinger uses two methods to lure flying pests: a blue ultraviolet light from a 40-watt fluorescent bulb, and a chunk of "NOsquito" mosquito attractant that attaches directly to the underside of the 18-by-9-inch cylinder. As insects enter the cylinder's grid and hit the light, they are killed and fall to the ground through the open bottom. The grid prevents children's hands, birds, and butterflies from touching the bulb. For best results, the Stinger should be hung at least seven feet off the ground and about 25 feet away from where people will be gathering. A strong metal loop on top allows hanging from a branch or bracket, and the 10-inch integral power plug can be plugged into an outdoor extension cord. The UV bulb should be changed yearly for best results. Waterproof and rugged, the Stinger is covered by a three-year warranty and is also available in a smaller size. --Ann Bieri |

The multi-talented custodian, Mr. O, teaches Barry and Stinger form and style as they try to create a rollicking song. The Fishkids are more than ready for another underwater foray into the world of music. Miss Angel divides the class into teams and gives them their new assignment. But somehow collecting sounds and arranging them into songs is a baffling experience, especially for Barry and Stinger. Fortunately, they happen upon Mr. O, the multi-talented custodian and octopus of all trades at Atlantis Elementary School. With his artful aid and instruction, Barry and Stinger combine their sounds and ideas into a rollicking song. Red and Copper are not so pleased with the results of their collaboration and Blue seems a little bewildered by the lesson. The students' questions and concerns lead Miss Angel to explain the difference between form and style in her own special and dramatic musical way. Original songs include "Same and Different"; "Artist's Formula"; "Minnow Minnow"; "Rock and Reed" and "Styling".

If you enjoy the fun of radio-controlled vehicles, but dont always want to leave the comfort of your couch to go outside and play, check out these Air Hogs Havoc Helicopters. Measuring a mere six inches long and weighing only a half pound, these small but mighty choppers are made for indoor dueling -- so you dont have to quit flying just because of bad weather or a dark sky. A crash-resistant foam fuselage means you can perfect your piloting skills using the dual-toggle, single-throttle wireless controller. The twin drive props in back and dual rotors on top provide exceptional stability and precise six-way directional control -- up, down, left, right, forward, and back. Sled-style landing gear means set-downs should be gentle, too. |

Get ready for exciting in-flight action with the Air Hogs Hovac Stinger. This lightweight, remote-control helicopter adds action to any indoor play area, inspires imaginative play, and teaches principles of flight to future pilots. With flashing lights and a cool, bug-eye cockpit, this chopper is designed to keep kids aged eight and up busy for hours.
Featuring a colorful foam body with blue and yellow details, blinking lights, and plastic rotors, this detailed little helicopter has plenty of aesthetic appeal. Before you start flying, you'll need to charge your Havoc Stinger. Use a Philips head screwdriver to insert six AA batteries (not included) the each controller. Then plug the helicopter into the cord on the controller. Since the plug has small prongs, you'll need to take care to seat them correctly. Now it's time to start practicing. You'll want to encourage kids to get familiar with the controls before they try and any big-time stunt flights, since flying this choppers well takes practice. In addition to an on-off switch and a switch that lets you select the correct channel to control your helicopter, the hand-held controller has a throttle stick, a rudder stick, and a button to adjust for trimming. We found the best way to start off was flying in a large, indoor space, while focusing on hovering an even distance above the ground. This simple task is trickier to master than you might imagine, but with enough practice it will become second nature. The included instruction manual offers tips for learning to fly, from focusing on the helicopter instead of the controller to applying very gentle pressure on the control sticks. Fun, Imaginative Play for Expert Pilots This helicopters offers an excellent opportunity for parents and kids to play together. They can offer each other flight tips and compete to land in tricky places or fly through narrow corridors. You may find yourself having even more fun than your children with this remote-control helicopter. Overall, the Havoc Stinger provides a great way to teach patience, persistence, and principles of flight, all while having a great time. Our one real concern is the durability of the helicopter itself. While Air Hogs thoughtfully includes extra tail rotors, and our helicopter survived lots of brutal crashes while we were learning to fly, it is made of foam and lightweight plastic. This means that if your chopper gets stepped on or tossed around, it is almost sure to sustain some damage. What's in the Box |

At the beginning of the 15th century, Rome proclaimed itself, as it had done throughout its history, caput mundi, "the head of the world." The truth, writes Charles Stinger, was less glorious: the popes had long since abandoned Rome for palaces in French Avignon, and the principal trading centers were in places such as Alexandria, Marseilles, and Constantinople. Even within Italy (which was still ununified), Florence and Venice were more important culturally. With the Renaissance, however, as European elites became interested in studying and emulating the ancient past, Rome became a great center anew: the popes returned, and travelers from around the world came to see the ruins of ancient times and to converse with intellectuals and artists. The transition, Stinger writes, was "from medieval alley and tower to Renaissance street and palace," from a closed and suspicious urban village to an open and vibrant city. With a cast of characters including Lorenzo de Medici, Michelangelo, and Lucrezia Borgia, Stinger relates a fascinating story of the city's renewal--which involved no small amount of intrigue. --Gregory McNamee |

The "stinger" is an alien bounty hunter that remains ominously hidden for most of the book, but appears to be an enormous wicked mixture of centipede and scorpion. The bounty it's after is the "good guy" of the tale--a waif-like being who invades the mind of a small girl to make its presence known. They both arrive in a hot, desolate West Texas town surrounded by the alkali dust and sagebrush of a flatland between mountains. And the battle begins. An unpretentious horror novel with memorable imagery, Stinger is this reviewer's favorite of Robert McCammon's. It has appealing characters. It has feuding motorcycle gangs. It even has a bit of a West Side Story romance between Anglo guy and Hispanic girl. Sure, it's a B-movie romp, but McCammon is earnest--he doesn't play it for laughs. The action is scary and horrifying, making for a long, satisfying read.Tags : Stinger

Gunships: The Story of Spooky, Shadow, Stinger and Spectre tells the dramatic story of transforming military cargo transports into deadly ground-attack aircraft used by the U.S. and other countries in worldwide conflicts from the Vietnam War to the Middle East today. This comprehensive and detailed accounting of gunships begins with piston-powered, WWII-era C-47s and progresses to the four-engine turboprop C-130 Hercules, showing how gunships evolved from using 20mm miniguns to 105mm Howitzers with digital-age Battle Management Centers housed onboard. These highly effective airplanes made history by removing the safe haven of night operations from the enemy, and allowing strategic victory that might not have otherwise been possible. Author Wayne Mutza not only carefully researched all of these aircraft and their paths to reality, but also tells the tale of the brave and persevering men who believed in this unique weapon system and who saw its development through to the end. This book features a wealth of outstanding color photographs, many of which have never before been published, and also contains detailed appendices documenting gunship production data, combat units, and aircraft losses. |

Stranded by a bizarre meteor impact and surrounded by monstrous mutations, rescue agent Eliot Ballade must unravel the mysteries of Dinosaur Island--or die trying.As Eliot or Dogs Bower, a ferry captain Eliot meets early in the game, you explore the island and uncover the story behind the disaster. While most of the game focuses on solving puzzles and learning more about the meteor and its effect on the island, roaming zombies and huge monsters will keep you on your toes. Graphics are good--with nice flashy weapons effects--but not mind-blowing like Soul Calibur or Sonic Adventure. The Jump Pack accessory (sold separately) provides great tactile feedback when firing weapons or getting mauled by a monster--it seems to spend more time rumbling than not. While the fighting is a lot of fun, some players may be frustrated by the regeneration of zombies. It can get tedious to exit a room after killing all of the enemies, only to run into them again when returning. The game's viewpoint system also could be improved, as it occasionally leaves you fighting an enemy you can't see. Parents should note that Blue Stinger is a horror game, and the gore flows readily. All in all, while it doesn't build any new genres, Blue Stinger provides a solid gaming experience. Its flaws keep it from being a great game, but don't keep it from being a good time. --Aaron Karp Pros: |
