Toy for autistic kids
Autism is a developmental disability that results from a disorder of the human central nervous system. A report by the BBC last year, revealed that autism is more common than thought and may affect one in 100 children.
Found an interesting product, which are like "giant tinker toys" being used to help connect autistic kids to the World - can be referred to as Toobeez Therapy.
This giant building system can also be used in team building games by adults too. Check out the Project Connect site to see the product being used as a "fun tool" to bring people together.

Nut cracker video
My daughter found some almonds. These were still with the hard outer shell and cracking them open to get to the sweet kernel inside proved to be quite a challenge. I don't have a nut cracker so I had to make do with what I had - pliers.
Somehow it seems tastier than those which comes with the shell removed.
The trick lies in putting the right pressure. Too much force and you crush it into pieces.

Firefox Snowman
We had snowfall again today with more predicted. Said to be heaviest in recent years.
We had fun making the Firefox snowman.
Notice the cap. Look closely at the symbol.
My daughter pointed out that the snowman doesn't have ears and a mouth. So she added them. And she also named the snowman "Pak Su Qasim", he hee..
Why Firefox?
Yeah! Malaysia Boleh.
"What are you making Rahil?" That looks like a ladle from the kitchen.
Cute pic of mum and daughter.

Ski equipment
If you're a skier, you probably know that generic type of skis simply won't do. There are different types of skiers ranging from beginners to experts and those who are carvers to freeriders. There are even different types of skies specially designed for women.
Al's Ski Barn is a family owned online ski outlet, which carried a number of low priced ski equipment. I was really surprised at the bargains on some of the branded names on the site as I know that ski equipment are not really cheap. One of the bargains is the latest 2007 Salomon 1080 Gun Skis.
This replaces the old Pocket Rocket which was specially created by Salomon for their Freeride Team. Last year's Gun S Lab is now the new 1080 Gun. They were redesigned and they are not only wider but are more versatile as well.
The online stores sells other skiing equipment including boots. One of the hottest items is the 2007 Salomon Foil Park Ski Boots. With soft mono-material shell and cuff and a shock-absorbing custom sole, it is designed for freestyle tricks and jumps in the park and on-piste. I won't be in the Olympics though, that's for sure.
The site also has some ski themed e-cards/postcards.
