Music Legend Quincy Jones Partners with HARMAN, Unveils Signature Headphones 

HARMAN, the leading premium audio and infotainent group (NYSE:HAR), today announced the arrival of the Quincy Jones Signature Line by AKG. The premium headphone collection represents a momentous partnership between AKG and one of the most accomplished musicians of the 20th century – Quincy Jones.

Musician, artist, humanitarian – Quincy Jones is an American icon. His productions, which include the best-selling album (Thriller) and single ("We Are the World") of all time, have garnered him an unprecedented 79 GRAMMY® nominations and 27 GRAMMY awards, more than any other living artist. His list of notable achievements is unrivaled in the music industry. The list of legendary and contemporary artists with whom he has worked includes Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Michael Jackson, Ludacris, Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra and Usher, among many others.

"Music is so much more than notes on a sheet of paper," Jones said. "When it's created with passion, with soul, we get something that is greater than ourselves – and it can move us deeply. Throughout my entire career, I have trusted only AKG to deliver the highest standard of sound – the same standard I hold myself to when I make my music."

The Quincy Jones Signature Line includes three models: the Q701 reference-class premium over-ears, the Q460 high-performance portable on-ear mini headphones and the Q350 in-ear headphones that will boast distinctive AKG®-built quality and unrivaled audio engineering in an elegant, portable design, so music lovers everywhere can experience sound the way every artist intended for their music to be heard.

"Quincy Jones and AKG have shared a long-running passion for quality sound and the infinite power music has to connect people and touch lives," said Dinesh C. Paliwal, chairman, president and CEO, HARMAN International. "We have partnered to introduce products into the marketplace that shine a light on how important sound quality is when you're experiencing music in all aspects of your life."

A share of the proceeds from every set of headphones sold in the Quincy Jones Signature Line by AKG will go toward the Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium, a foundation dedicated to making music education an ongoing part of the lives of American children.

Pricing

The Q701, Q460 and Q350 headphones will be available in time for the holiday season, at prices ranging from $149.99 to $479.99.

No Batteries, Charges In 60 SECONDS!!! 5.11's Light for Life Flashlights revolutionize the industry


In 2009, Law Enforcement, Military and Fire/EMS supplier 5.11 Tactical introduced the tough Light for Lifeä UC3.400ä Flashlight. With no batteries and an amazingly short 90-second charge time, the flashlight changed the lighting industry overnight. Not only did the Light for Lifeä generate major internet buzz, Popular Science magazine named the Light for Lifeä UC3.400ä Flashlight a Pick of the Month for July 2009.

 
5.11 just introduced the next illuminating member of its lighting family: the Light for Life PC3.300 Flashlight. The mid-size Light for Life PC3.300 is powered by advanced capacitors using battery-free Flashpointä Power Technology. 5.11 rates the Light for Lifeä PC3.300 for 50,000 charge/discharge cycles with virtually no degradation or memory issues. That's one charge a day for 135 years! "With its innovative technology, the Light for Life changes everything," says 5.11 Tacticalä CEO Dan Costa. "We've seen an incredible response across the industry."

Made more compact for duty and civilian use, the mid-size PC3.300 is not short on light using three Cree LEDs rated for more than 50,000 hours each. The PC3.300 produces 200 lumens at peak output, 70 lumens in standard mode and includes a 70-lumen strobe. From a full charge you get 45 minutes of runtime in standard mode, then 15 minutes on reserve mode, starting at 25 lumens. Once the flashlight discharges, place it in the charger and 90 seconds later it's ready for another full hour of duty use or recreational/emergency light.

 

The solid-state, 8.5" Light for Life PC3.300ä is ruggedly built and water-resistant. Its firearm-grade, high-strength polymer casing is abrasion, crack and bend-resistant. It is also lightweight. At just 10 oz., the compact Light for Lifeä PC3.300ä fits well on a duty belt and doesn't weigh you down, even after a full day of wear. "When I get called out in the middle of the night, I need a dependable light that's going to be charged and ready to go," says Lieutenant Ed Ormonde of Ripon Police Department in Ripon, California. "The 5.11 Light for Life provides superior light intensity and with the assurance that it will be ready for use when I need it."

Two Winners From Hammacher Schlemmer

The Professional Roomba.

This is the most advanced Roomba available, specially designed to clean large, open floor plans and high-traffic areas on a single charge. Made by iRobot, developers of tactical reconnaissance robots for the U.S. military, Roomba analyzes the dimensions of a room, determines the optimal cleaning path, and navigates autonomously to clean every inch of floor while circumventing furniture and stairs. An enhanced battery allows the device to clean up to four 12' x 12' rooms before automatically returning to its base to recharge, and the high-capacity bin enables the professional Roomba to collect 3 1/2X more debris than previous generations. The vacuum's brushes sweep dirt into its built-in vacuum on the first pass and automatically reverse their rotation when they sense rug fringe or cords. The cleaning head automatically adjusts to accommodate carpets and floors and two included Virtual Wall lighthouses project infrared beams that confine the vacuum to one room, direct it to another room when it is finished cleaning, and guide it back to the recharging base. The professional Roomba can be scheduled to automatically clean up to seven times per week or prompted to spot clean with the touch of a button. Includes two additional filters, interchangeable vacuum and sweeper bins, two extra side brushes, and a storage case for the lighthouses and accessories. 3 1/4" H x 13 1/4" Diam. (14 lbs.)

The Only iPad Alarm Clock.

This is the only docking station that transforms an iPad into a versatile bedside alarm clock. An app lets users wake to the music they prefer at snooze intervals from 1-29 minutes--played through the dock's built-in speakers--while displaying weather reports, personal reminders, and overnight updates from Facebook and Twitter. If the app isn't running, the dock's failover alarm ensures you're still awakened on schedule. A digital signal processor and an equalizer produce exceptionally full, rich audio from your iPad or the dock's FM radio with 10 pre-sets. The dock also functions as a wireless speakerphone when paired with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and it holds and charges most iPhones and iPods. Includes a remote control. Plugs into AC. 3 1/4" H x 6 3/4" W x 11 1/4" L. AC. (3 1/4 lbs.)

STEVE McQUEEN:
THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF A HOLLYWOOD ICON

By Marshall Terrill

The Man.  The Legend.  "The King of Cool."  For decades, Steve McQueen has captured our hearts and imaginations.  Now Marshall Terrill, the star's preeminent biographer, reveals the true life of the man in Steve McQueen: The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon.  Behind the scenes, McQueen was perhaps the world's most insecure and contradictory hero.
 
In Steve McQueen: The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon Terrill unearths many never-before-told stories about the acting legend (particularly about McQueen's early life) in this highly entertaining new biography, including:
 
¨       McQueen's genealogy, which is traced back to his great-great grandfather, Pike Montgomery Thomson, a Confederate Army officer
¨       First-hand accounts of McQueen's history in Slater, Missouri, his boyhood home
¨       New information and photos on McQueen's father, William, who Terrill has recently discovered was not a barnstorming pilot but a grunt in the Merchant Marines. Terrill also reveals William died of cirrhosis of the liver and is buried in an unmarked grave in California
¨       A first-time interview with Teri McQueen, the actor's 70-year-old half-sister who is breaking her silence about her famous sibling
¨       An in-depth look at McQueen's fourteen-month stint at the Boys Republic in Chino, California, a reform school for delinquent youth and his three years in the Marines
¨       Detailed information about his three marriages to wives Neile Adams, Ali MacGraw and Barbara Minty
¨       McQueen's unprecedented reign as cinema's "King of Cool" and the behind-the-scenes of classic films such as The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, Le Mans, The Getaway,Papillon and The Towering Inferno
¨       McQueen's go-go Hollywood lifestyle, which included sexual trysts with actresses, groupies, professional party dolls, housewives, hitchhikers and fans, who were all fair game
¨       How Charles Manson and his band of hippy followers marked McQueen for death after the Tate-LaBianca murders
¨       A relationship with actress Barbara Leigh, McQueen's co-star in Junior Bonner, who aborted his child after a six-month affair
¨       The 12-inch thick dossier of career-ending information producer Robert Evans compiled on McQueen and threatened to use when McQueen wanted to adopt his son
¨       A 45-minute recording of McQueen on his deathbed, going over the details of his life with New Age spiritualist Brugh Joy
¨       How a Mexican funeral home owner and a police captain conspired to hold McQueen's dead body ransom for $160,000
¨       McQueen's last will and testament, which shows how the superstar divvied up his multi-million dollar estate
¨       McQueen's lasting legacy in Hollywood as the industry's most emulated actor
 
Featuring hundreds of interviews and exhaustive research, Terrill reveals shocking new details about the star's life from his harrowing and painful childhood, throughout his incredible career, to the final days of his battle with cancer.  Scrupulously researched and beautifully written, Steve McQueen: The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon is an indispensable biography of a beloved star.
 
About the Author:

Marshall Terrill is the world's foremost expert on Steve McQueen.  Author of the best-selling Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel, he has written or co-written biographies on McQueen, Elvis Presley, Pete Maravich, Ken Norton, and Edd Byrnes, among others.

MOSHI Voice Control Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit

A True Bluetooth Car Kit

Many Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kits claim to be handsfree but fail to mention that you still need to dial a call using those tiny cell phone buttons while driving. At Moshi, we've never been a fan of buttons, which is why the Moshi Voice Control Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit is fully operational by voice, once the power is turned on.

Simplicity through Voice Control Technology

Just say the trigger command "Hello Moshi" to activate by voice. This sleek, compact, and easy-to-use Handsfree Car Kit utilizes the most advanced voice control technology, making it the simplest Bluetooth speakerphone on the market. When receiving an incoming call, Moshi will say the caller's name (select phones) or number and you can decide whether to answer by simply replying "Answer" or "Ignore." Or without a button in sight, dial your "home," "office," or "voicemail" just by asking. It's not magic, it's Moshi.
