Homework Helper
http://factmonster.com - As the new school year continues, point your kids to Fact Monster, a site that makes homework seem like fun. It's loaded with information on topics ranging from U.S. cities to metric conversions to "Women of Influence." Kids can play brain-twisting games, look up words in the dictionary, or improve their study skills. When they're ready for a study break, they can visit the Harry Potter page or the Best-Selling Video Games of All Time.

Manual Mine
http://manualsonline.com - Tired of that huge accordion file of product manuals taking up space in your closet? This site may allow you to get rid of it once and for all. ManualsOnline is exactly what the name suggests: electronic versions of hundreds of thousands of manufacturer manuals. Find manuals for camcorders, laptops, lawnmowers, dishwashers, stereo systems, and more. Use the site to store your manuals in one convenient location. And if the manuals don't answer your questions, the site's online community might.
