Pound for pound, no one lays on the vicious snark like a woman targeting another woman. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA explores a corner of the cutthroat fashion industry, a nerve-wracking environment replete with competitive jealousies and general, all-around meanspiritedness. Into this world steps Anne Hathaway's character, Andrea "Andy" Sachs, an aspiring journalist eager to get a foot in the door. To gain invaluable experience, Andy interviews for a job as the assistant's assistant to the ridiculously demanding Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), acclaimed head of the trend-setting Runway magazine.
Andy is a size six, and this automatically makes her the brunt of mean jokes by those in her new work office. Andy comes from a down-to-earth place and sort of scoffs at her co-workers' unending obsession with haute couture. She promises her boyfriend cook Nate (Adrian Grenier) that she won't change. But of course she does. Andy loses her way.
Meryl Streep submits yet another powerhouse performance as the film's dragon lady. Miranda Priestly is the sort of boss who can effortlessly, whimsically shatter an employee's self-esteem. I take in the twitchy reactions of those in her circle and how they tiptoe on eggshells whenever she's in the room, and even I start to sweat. But Meryl Streep is able to sneak in an echo of vulnerability. You may end up sympathizing with her a bit. This actress is just so consistently good.
Stanley Tucci himself is masterful in another of his side character roles. I think every movie should have Stanley Tucci in it. Emily Blunt as Miranda Priestly's frazzled first assistant - and Andy's primary foil - is fun to watch, and she makes the most out of her thankless role. When THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA first released in 2006, Anne Hathaway was only then just starting to distance herself from her wholesome teen princess roles. So she was a question mark, going into this film, even with HAVOC and BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN in her rearview.No worries, she confidently steps into this post-Disney role, and she's quite good.
Because there's something innately appealing about Hathaway. Even when her character does eventually sell out, you don't hate her. You're not mad-dogging her. You just want her to get back on track. The film easily develops a rooting interest for her. Her immediate boss, the first assistant, is so cruddy in her behavior towards Andy that Andy right away falls into that underdog slot. Except she overcomes that soon enough. Andy, who is brainy enough that she rejected Stanford Law to pursue her journalistic dreams, turns out to be endlessly resourceful in meeting Miranda Priestly's incessant, impossible demands. It's not too long before the first assistant is demoted. Yay for Andy. You could feel her getting more and more sucked into this seductive world. Her long-suffering boyfriend's patience is wearing thin.
This film renders me a stranger in a strange land, forced to absorb exotic name brands like Prada, Valentino Garavani, Giorgio Armani, and others I would have to look up on Wiki. I desperately longed for someone to name drop the Gap or Old Navy or Fruit of the Loom, something familiar. Gratifyingly, the story drew me in. The acting fixated me to the screen. I laughed at the right bits and scornfully rolled my eyes at the sheer fanaticism these frantic characters invested in mere articles of clothing. I then went to sleep in my awesome grown-up Underoos.


The first issue I had with the Belkin @TV was that it has a component/composite connection.  I was already using these connectors on my dvr to hook up another piece of equipment.  It took me a little time (and extra purchase) to get the @TV connected.  Once I had it connected, I then went to download and install the app on my android phone, which I thought was free.  When I saw the fee for it, I was taken aback.  I "know" that before getting the @TV system, that I had read it was free.  I went back onto Amazon and reread everything.  Then I realized the tricky (in my opinion) wordplay where it says free tablet app.  No, they were not lying, but it's a slight bit shady (once again, in my opinion).  So I then paid the money for the app, on top of the extra money I needed to spend to hook up the connectors.  I've used a slingplayer in the past and understand that the system is going to occasionally have some glitches.  I had problems viewing on my phone more often than I did with the old slingplayer I had used.  Since I have it installed and paid for the app, I will continue to use it some on a limited basis I guess.  Hopefully either future app updates or software upgrades to the system will help things run a bit more smoothly.


These filters bend wildly in the center when used with my 'Comfortmaker' central heating furnace unit. I have tried many other filter brands with success, but I only have this issue with some of the 3M Filtrete products. After a month's time, I had a hard time getting the filter out of my furnace, because it was so bent and twisted in the center to the point of having collapsed! I am very dissapointed with 3M's filters, because of this.


Great scrubbers, they get the job done!
The bristles are very firm, and will hold up and last for a long time.
The rubber handles allow a good grip, and the angled heads make it easier to reach where you want it to.


That review title above is a straight up fib. It's not at all difficult to predict all the plot twists in DON 2. But so what? For fans of Shahrukh Khan and for those who relish slick action thrillers, DON 2 checks all the boxes. It's been five years since the events in DON, five years since that shocking final reveal. But some things don't change. These days, our guy is still running game on the underworld, still outfoxing the badge and his competitors. The woman he betrayed, Roma Bhagat (Priyanka Chopra), is now an Interpol officer. She's obsessed with nabbing him.
The film opens with Don holding it down as the undisputed kingpin of the Asian underworld, except that he's now got his eye on a take over of the European drug cartel. On the French Riviera, the European bosses attend an emergency meeting to discuss Don's recent actions. Don is jeopardizing their drug empire by undercutting the asking price of their product. What they decide on is inevitable.
Back in Malaysia, Don gets wind of the contract on his head in the rudest of manners. There and then, he determines to be a free man once and for all. He sets into motion one of those whirlwind capers, key elements of which hinge on the springing of his old enemy from prison (Boman Irani) and a daring heist in Berlin. But Don finds himself navigating a nest of vipers, his accomplices composed of deceitful villains. With law enforcement nipping at his heels, has Don at last bitten off more than he can chew? Or does that iconic phrase still hold true? "Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkim hai." Translation: "It is not just difficult to catch Don, it's impossible!"
If you're anticipating a retread of the 2006 film, you need to turn in your anticipating badge. For one thing, there aren't so many swerves in this one. Don does assume a disguise, but it's not as relevant to the plot as much as it is a chance to showcase Hrithik Roshan in a cool cameo (Hrithik even dances with Priyanka).And if that really is Hrithik saying Don's dialogue, then big ups to him for nicely matching Shahrukh's voice and cadence. Don is so gifted, as part of his disguise, he grew a few inches.
I thought Priyanka Chopra did well in a role that required her character, Roma, to be conflicted. Don is so magnetic that Roma still can't help but feel that attraction, never mind that Don had betrayed her, never mind that he'd murdered her brother. Thankfully, the film keeps this sub-plot mostly on simmer, never allows it to take over the narrative. Lara Dutta has a lesser role, filling in for Ishaa Koppikar as Don's most trusted companion. Both women look absolutely devastating!
The manly man's credo: Give me my popcorn and a comfy sofa and babes to ogle and lots of fight scenes and explosions... and I'm good. Because sometimes and maybe most times, I dispense with the artsy-fartsy stuff and I demand to be entertained by a loud action blockbuster. DON 2 lacks the smarts and fascinating twists of the 2006 film. And I don't know that it was a sound move to inject a sliver of conscience into Don. What made him unique was that he was an unrepentant anti-hero, a straight up, no good villain. Or maybe it doesn't matter. Shahrukh Khan's larger-than-life charisma and his showmanship are stamped onto the screen and your eyes are glued to the guy. Shahrukh also performs his own stunts, again perpetuating the notion that absolutely no one can fill his shoes. I guess, one other contention is that I prefer Don to apply his wits to achieve his ends. Here, he frequently resorts to action hero methods. Ultimately, the 2006 film had built up so much cachet I can't dog on its sequel too much. DON 2 is the Hindi version of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. It's over-the-top and preposterous and great bloody fun. As a fan of Bollywood cinema, I think it's always a treat whenever Boman Irani plays the bad guy. Whether in drama or thriller or comedy, Boman Irani is effortless. There aren't alot of musical numbers here (I think, three). But the tracks all carry strains of "Main Hoon Don," a club banger from the 2006 film and one of the most addictive, catchy Bollywood songs ever. Okay, another beef? How much more clever would it have been if, instead of Hrithik Roshan, it was Abhishek Bachan whose face Don assumes? Abhishek looks enough like his dad, Amitabh, who played the original Don in 1978, that the reference would've been awesome.
What I have is the 2-disc DVD set. Disc 1 has the feature presentation, available with English sub-titles and the option to jump to any of the film's three musical segments (this last feature is also available on Disc 2). Disc 2 has the following bonus features:
- Making Of featurette (mostly in English, running time 40 minutes)
- Songs: "Zaraa Dil Ko Thaam Lo," Hai Ye Maya," "Dushman Mera"
- (Promotional?) Music Video from DON 2 featuring Shahrukh Khan: "Mujhko Pehchaanlo"


This game was TERRIBLE.
You play as some guy from Argentina who needs to brutally kick a bunch of people in a striped shirt to prove to people he did not steal an endangered shark from Idaho back in 1992 while he was living with his grandparents.
Wow what a rip off of karate kid.
This is the worst thing to ever be mass produced EVER
0/6 stars
I hope you enjoyed my review.


This product is designed for those who love to spend time in the great outdoors.  Usually you can find a fast moving stream or lake to do your laundry in.  However, many other alternatives to this bag are prone to break or fall apart after a few uses.  This bag is meant to last.  I have never been a fan of using any kind of soap or detergent when in the outdoors.  First off it is not ecologically a good idea to use regular cleaning soap in the outdoors.  You have to worry about polluting the waterways and you also have to be concerned about the smell.  Any kind of smell to soap or other things you use on your body will attract things you do not want near you!!!!  Think insects, bears, etc.........  While those creatures love the smell of city folk.............those who are backpackers or hunters know you do not want to be dinner for the mosquito.  I use a non scented, non polluting soap for washing both clothes and body.  With this little guy you can easily do both.  No need to carry special soap....all you do is take your body soap and shave off a bit with your knife....and place in the bag.  This bag is made to last.  I imagine it will be the last one you ever have to buy.


Recently a family friend was cleaning out his garage and gave us an old kayak, so we've been tooling around in the bay, learning as we go. One thing we didn't realize we needed was a small dry bag to pack different things in (towel, change of clothes, phone, camera, lunch, whatever) to bring with us, because the kayak lets in water and things get damp very easily.
This bag is perfect for that- it's very roomy, but still compact enough that it fits neatly in the boat without taking much room. The orange color is a benefit, because if it does go overboard, or if you leave it on the shore, you can easily spot it from a distance. So far, we've not had the opportunity to set it in the water and leave it for several hours to test just *how* waterproof it is, but it has held up in regular use and in rainy conditions.
Perfect bag for kayaking and other water-based sports.


My Daughter and I have been trying The Living Proof hair Products and i wasnt expecting to much from this ,i was very surprised just how well this worked.After washing and Conditioning my Hair i just sprayed this from the Roots down concentrating on the dry areas with damage and i let air dry.My Hair was left frizz Free and had shine .This is a small Bottle but if you use just what you feel you need it should last a while .I ordered a second Bottle for a back up since this met my expectations .I use the Shampoo and Conditioner along with this,i find if i use a different Shampoo my Hair is back to the same way Dry and Frizzy.


Bought this as a present for myself, and absolutely loved it and was surprised and shocked when I got such a caring and thoughtful gift in the mail!!!


WINDTALKERS is a good WWII movies filmed over the past few years in that brings attention to these uniquely qualified men of war to draw upon their heritage in this time of global conflict. It is a multi-layered and multi-faceted tale told visually through incredible images enhanced with armor piercing sound effects. The dialogue really has to take a back seat to this simple tale of men and their survival because the images of the land, the bleak faces and the carnage tell it all. This film is named WINDTALKERS but the film does not really focus on the code developed by the Navajo Marines. Director Raoul Walsh had peripherally addressed the Navajo code in 1955 with his film BATTLE CRY with Felix Noriego as Marine Crazy Horse where we saw Japanese operators baffled while listening in on radio and field-telephone transmissions. Director John Woo, as did Raoul Walsh, decides to focus his attention on the men and their diverse backgrounds and what makes them Marines. However, Woo narrows his focus on the relationship between a war-weary, shell-shocked and enigmatic Marine sergeant (Nicolas Cage) and a good-natured naive Navajo recruit (Adam Beach) assigned to him. Beach can't understand the actions or behavior of loner Cage's intensity for killing and bloodshed but learns eventually that if you survive you then increase your chances of having your comrades around you survive as well. Woo is a director noted for action and WINDTALKERS contains some of the most frenetically staged sequences ever filmed. These sequences reminded me of some of Sam Peckinpah's cathartic work from THE WILD BUNCH, the montages of the combat maelstrom of his CROSS OF IRON and the intensity of the intimate fighting of combatants from Edward Zwick's Civil War epic GLORY. This is not action for the sake of action that can be easily labeled on John Woo. Woo is making a statement that all this carnage can be addictive yet simultaneously it usually creates and strengthens intimate camaraderie. But you really can never afford to be close to any of your buddies and this is a highly moral conflict. Is battle weary hardness a symptom or a mechanism to survive? This is the price of defending the ideals that we hold so dear. This is a very subtle and great film that can be easily glossed right over for its true meaning and realization. WINDTALKERS draws attention to forgotten heroes.


this looks like a nice quality cabinet! bought it as a christmas gift for our daughter! we think she will love it! wouldn' mind getting one for our house!!


A line dress pattern is flattering to most figures. The neck is not to low cut for modesty. Comes in 2 lengths and takes approx 4 yards of fabric and a zipper. What more could you want in a dress pattern!


I'm an average guy, just a little project here or there, nothing major. I use my little battery powered Dewalt most of the time, but when the battery dies or I need more power, I grab this thing and boy does it perform! All the power I could ever need - way more power than the battery one. Only thing I miss is the break, which this one doesn't have, but I'm not dinging it because, well, if I wanted to spend more money, I could have had that - I got what I paid for.


These Cheez-It cups are very handy when you want a snack while driving. I find it's easier to reach into the cup and grab a few crackers than into a bag, while trying to keep my eyes on the road. The Cheez-It cup fits into my car's large cup holder, so it's within easy reach and I don't spill them everywhere. The white chedar crackers are milder than the original cheese flavor, but still taste just as great.
I like the size and find these are a great teen/adult size snack. We have all kinds of snack packs in our pantry, since I buy for my kids school lunches. They're all quite small. They are usually even smaller than you would get out of a vending machine. I like the larger size of these cups, since generally when I want a snack, it's because I'm really hungry and didn't have time to eat anything. I'd rather just take one 2 oz cup like this with me than 2 or 3 little tiny kid's lunch baggies. I like the size. Perfect for when you're on the go.


I bought this at a dog boutique and have used it on my Dobermans several times. It smells more like medicine than Jasmine and did nothing for their dry skin. Although the bottle itself works great and the price is cheaper on Amazon, it still isn't worth it. Even common pet store shampoos like Furminator and Pet Head are better than this. If you are looking for a natural shampoo that does a great job try Royal Treatment instead of wasting your money on RELIQ.


Good price and what I needed to connect my 24v battery array on a solar powered location. Will be purchasing more in the future if I put together an additional battery bank at any of the locations.


I have gone thru untold numbers of the Scosche ear buds and they keep breaking on one or the other side.  Just dead.  These have been far superior.


I make a lot of custard based ice cream. I end up with a lot of eggwhites. This pan is great for making angel food cake. 12 egg whites per cake!


This was easily worth the 11 bucks. It provides more than enough storage space for all my utensils while still fitting nicely in my drawer. Aesthetically pleasing, as well. Highly recommended!


It's a coffee table sized book packed full of natural history with brilliant color illustrations and loads of fascinating  facts based on recent scientific discoveries.  I remember getting toy plastic dinosaurs when I was a child and they were all grey or brown with hard smooth skins.  Now some have the colors of birds (or lizards), feathers and other structures that are considered more useful for mating displays than any other purpose. Beginning with a brief exposition of the evolution of animals with backbones, the book goes from the Triassic to the Cenozoic (the rise of the first large mammals)
Not just fascinating facts about dinosaurs, but also information about creatures that don't get a lot of attention, like Titanoboa, a gigantic South American snake that was as long as a school bus. There's also the two and half meter tall flightless bird and the Andrewsarchus.
I've had this on book on my desk for a week now and it never fails to catch the attention of the numerous adults who wonder through.  They inevitably pick it up and I've had to rescue it a couple of times from being carried off by rapt readers.
This one is mine, but I know a couple of dinosaur obsessed children who are going to get copies as holiday gifts.  I thoroughly recommend this book.


This is interesting, but it is aimed at players far more advanced than I was back in my tennis playing days.  It's worth a look, but it doesn't have that much value for the average recreational player.


🎥 Video review. 🎥
I recall from touring the Jelly Belly factory they mentioned "Buttered Popcorn" was the most popular flavor.  No joke.  (what they mean by "popular," they may mean "popular as in Lee Harvey Oswald was popular.")
Pros:
✅ If you like these, you're instantly a part of a secret brethren. Few make it.  Many fail the test.
✅ Sweet.
✅ Salti-ish.
✅ Looks like popcorn.
Cons:
🍅 9 in 10 people can't stand them.
5/5 stars for the sake of simply being the most legendary, iconic flavor of all time.


Very nice to look at and very functional.  It's great to charge your phone, use as an alarm, the speakers are great to listen to music and the bluetooth syncs easily.


Nespresso makes GREAT coffee and GREAT machines. I switched over to a Nespresso machine 7 years ago and have never looked back. I save a small fortune every year by making my lattes at home.
That being said, the Nespresso capsule offers posted here are from a third party who is putting a large additional margin on their price.
You can order the same products online from Nespresso for approx $0.55 each (half the price here).


This worked really well for us at an event outside.  It was easy enough to find a place to attach it and it was very strong; we could feel it up to a few feet away even.  It was a perfect buy for our little one.  Our child isn't a huge fan of the stroller but it is perfect for using there.


MISOL 10PCS -15A 45V Schottky Diode,SCHOTTKY BARRIER RECTIFIER,for solar panel DIY
These are right for a standard photo valec panel to keep the batteries from draining during dark hours.  Heavy enough for about any voltage I will use and the price is right at $8.38 with free shipping.  The application can be made at the panel with a little heat shrink to cover it after it is soldered in place.  I ordered what I needed and should be good for a while.


I could never get close to a clear picture on this device. I would not recommend this item to anyone.


This LED indoor floodlight bulb (note: it says indoor) is really bright, equivalent to 125 watts. It works with dimmers, so you can tone it down for mood lighting or up for reading or to highlight a piece of art. It is a bit on the heavy side, so keep that in mind when you buy it. its estimated annual cost is a whole three bucks, and it should last even longer than a compact fluorescent.


I bought this movie for my daughter.  She is truly a princess and now have a movie she can relate to in her world.


It is a good quality of silver, but smaller than I thought.  I bought it as a gift for someone and I hope she likes it.  It almost looks like children's jewelry.


When I first got this bag, I was shocked on how small it was.  The bag's size is good for one camera (with lens mounted) and another lens.  When you first get it, you will have to remove the dividers inside the bag to even fit that much.  The DVD is ok, but it does not cover any of the advanced stuff concerning the manual setting (aperture,shutter, ISO).


vic firth sticks always win 3 stars because mine broke within minutes of playing, happens sometimes you just get a defective stick


Just what we needed is another high school reunion romantic comedy featuring mostly impossibly good looking former classmates, all with some hang-ups or dragged baggage.  The cast is fine and each pairing has a story.
Channing Tatum is Jake and his real life wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum is his girlfriend Jess.  He's been working up to popping the big marriage question but puts it off until after the reunion.  Once there he finds his old high school sweetheart, Mary (Rosario Dawson) along with her new husband (Ron Livingston) in tow.  Then we have drunken party boy Cully (Chris Pratt) and his disapproving wife (Ari Graynor).  Also Lynn Collins as the former high school party girl, still trying to live up to that image, but with a secret.  Best friends played by Justin Long and Max Minghella are living on a fantasy reputation and seek to get in Anna's (Collins) pants.  One of the more interesting pairings is Oscar Isaac as Reeves who has become a famous pop star whose long ago crush on Elise (Kate Mara) has been reignited.
If this all sounds all too formulaic, well it is.  On the other hand the performances are solid enough and there are enough chuckles and bubbling emotions to keep the audience interested for 90 minutes.  Watchable but also forgettable.


Overall, this cover does what it is supposed to do: it protects your iPod's screen and reduces the glare - in my case it helps stop a lot of the smudgy fingerprints.  This one was not too hard to line up and put on, either.
Before you install it on your iPod, let me point out a couple of things:
1. Clean your iPod's screen with the soft cloth that comes with the screen protector. DO NOT use water to assist you, but use a gentle wiping motion with the cloth. Why? You don't want to put the cover over a bunch of fingerprints and have your fingerprints memorialized on your iPod!
2. Make sure you use the straight-edge that comes with it, or a credit card, to help smooth out the bubbles.
3. Be patient, line it up, and go slow! This cover doesn't have much wiggle-room to be slightly off - if you go just a fraction at an angle to one side, you will start covering the iPod's edge case vs. the screen. If that happens, slowly back it up and start again.
Overall, this is not too bad and does what it is supposed to do, and I think you would rather have a screen protector vs. a scratched up iPod!


It's fairly typical to say each season after the first of "Breaking Bad" was a game changer but, in this case, the fourth season IS.
Blu-ray review (although the contents for the DVD are very much like that for the Blu-ray, they aren't exactly the same). I'd give the season 5 stars but the BD itself 4 because of some transfer issues.
SPOILERS:
After the cold blooded murder of Gale  (who Gus had hired to eventually replace Walt and Jessie) the unlikely dynamic duo found themselves once again in demand from an increasingly unhappy Gus who STILL had plans to replace them at some point. The murder of Gus pushes Jessie into a dark place he's been before but never quite so deep. Skylar decides that she and Walt must have a way to funnel the massive amount of money he is making and decides to invest in a business.
Walt must find a way to get Jessie back knowing that he NEEDS him in particular to eventually put Gus out of the way. He also realizes that as long as Gus can get access to Jessie he man not need Walt any longer and that will put Walt, Skylar and his son in harm's way as well.
Gus makes Jessie feel important and takes him in one of the stunning set pieces of the season to the home of a drug kingpin in Mexico where Gus has plans for ultimately eliminating his competition not realizing that Walt has similiar plans of his own.
END OF SPOILERS:
"Breaking Bad" continues to be one of the best written shows on television and that's saying quite a bit given some of the competition out there both on AMC and other networks. Creator/producer/writer Vince Gilligan continues to craft a dark, compelling TV series. This isn't "lite" entertainment by any stretch of the imagination and those looking for something that will entertain without asking difficult questions and taking characters we like and sometimes admire down the road of temptation should look elsewhere.
While the Blu-ray doesn'tlook as stunning as I'd hoped, it looks quite good. There are issues with banding that occur and are particularly noticeable in just about every episode. Most of the previous seasons didn't have this issue that I recall (I'll have to take a look at them again to confirm it)which is why it's perplexing that it's a problem here.
The 5.1 lossless DTS audio sounds quite nice with good use of directional effects present throughout. Subtitles are presented in English SDH, French and Spanish for the Blu-ray.
The special features are quite nice on this set including videopod casts, commentary tracks (13!) on every episode that are usually quite informative. We also get extended and alternate scenes as well as the "Inside Breaking Bad" featurettes. We also get "Better Call Saul" commercials from the series, an amusing gag reel and a variety of featurettes on the production of the series. We also get "uncensored" versions of episode as well as an extended final episode for the fourth season.
The fourth season brings us to the brink with Walt's final descent into the madness of the world he's adopted and the final shot of the episode demonstrates how desperate he is and how that madness consumes him, Jessie and everyone he comes into contact with.
Highly recommended.


The 3 in 1 feature is great!  Our son loves to bounce in it and pull on the "monkey" bar.  He really got into it around 7 months.  The lights and music are ok but it is very interactive. He still enjoys playing with it now at 14 months after we converted it to the table.


I've used this little sharpening tool for about two years now, and it's still hanging in there. While I have to admit that I haven't mastered the swing-arm part of the sharpener, the two-stage pull-through part is the best part of this sharpener for me.
Just pull the blade through the carbide section first, repeat, then move to the ceramic sharpener and you're all set.
If you're into using a stone for sharpening, as I am, I still think there is room for a simple sharpener of this kind. It fits in your pocket and comes in handy in a pinch.


Boetje's mustard is stoneground and definitely better than most of the mustard on the supermarket shelf. Because it is stoneground, it retains the texture of the mustard seeds (which gives it a bit of body and crunchiness). It has a genuine and strong mustard taste, but it is not obnoxiously spicy or hot. It's perfect for sausages and hamburgers. It's strong enough that it's not overwhelmed by sausages (even spicy ones) and at the same time it doesn't overwhelm a hamburger. It's all natural and contains no preservatives. Here's its ingredients: Water, vinegar, mustard seed, sugar, and salt.
I originally became aware of Boetje's mustard while visiting Iowa. I'm glad it's now available here in eastern Nebraska.


The watch was big but it is just ok because I am used to big watches. I had a hard time setting the dates and time but after a few tries I got it. The strap was just right. I used it right away ...I love the style ... Happy to have it


It’s been years since I watched Disney’s The Rocketeer.  (It’s been so long the copy I own is on VHS.)  My memories of the film are dim, but I remember enjoying it.  That’s why I picked up Hallmark’s High-Flying Hero, an ornament based on this character.
Not one of the more popular live action films from the 1990’s, it was set in the 1930’s and featured a young man who finds a rocket pack and winds up using it to defeat Nazi’s in Hollywood during the period.  Pure escapist fun, or at least that’s what I recall.  It was based on a lesser known comic book character and definitely has that superhero feel to it.
The ornament just features Cliff in his outfit at the Rocketeer.  He’s got tan pants and an orange/brown jacket on and is wearing a helmet, so you can’t really see his face.  His jet pack is on his back with flames coming out of them, and he’s semi-prone because he’s flying off to save the day.
Now, even though I’m not a diehard fan of the movie, seeing and buying this ornament still made me smile.  It looks just like my memory of the character, so they did a great job with the sculpt.  And it is nice to see them doing something with a relatively unknown character.  I must not be the only one because this was a limited edition ornament, and it flew off the shelves.
Since The Rocketeer is flying here, you really have to hang this ornament to display it.  Not surprising if you look at the ornament, the ring is sticking out of the jet pack.  He looks like he's tipping slightly to one side, but I guess that just means he's turning.  And he hangs at an angle that makes him look like he is rising into the air, a detail I love.
It’s nice to see Hallmark taking a chance with a popular but lesser known character.  Based on how popular High-Flying Hero has been, I hope they’ll do more such characters, limited edition or regular line.


I had never seen an item like this before, one that combines a flashlight with a pocket Knife.  At first one would think that it was designed to illuminate an object that you are cutting however I can see a more useful and frequent need for this product.
I own many smallish flashlights and many smallish pocket knives because they are convenient items to have around.  I am not a hunter but I find a need for both a light and a knife many times during a day.  This is where I think that this knife fills a niche that few other product fill.  I can clip it to my belt or stick it in my pocket (at least in my state) and have it handy for when I need it.
The knife blade was shipped with a good edge on it although I was able to give it a "shave-worthy" edge with just a little effort.  The handle feels cheaper that I would have desired, mostly because of the external battery covers that essentially becomes your gripping surface.  They can be removed in order to exchange the batteries and the knife comes with a tiny screw driver to facilitate the removal of the hex-screws.  I would like it better if the cover was the same color and quality as the knife itself is.


I have one of the hand held spiral things and it just doesn't do all that I'd like to do.. THIS DOES.... have you ever been to the fair and got those chips that they are all spirally and have all the yummy goodness on them well with this you can make them at home..

Great gift idea for those who have all types of needs...


My god child, Leah, has just started to learn guitar (about five months ago).  She is twelve with large hands.  I write that to say these picks were the perfect size for her.  She had been using a thinner pick but these are just the right size.  She likes it also that the flexiblity is good  and not rigid is at all.  She said the pick doesn't drag on the strings and the notes are crisp.
For the price, she likes it and her mother says she will be buying them for Leah again.  Leah tends to lose picks and these are priced just right for a "semi-disposable" pick.


My grand daughter wanted this for her birthday. She has played with it over and over, and the doll is still in great condition. The phrases voiced by the doll are clear. It is one of her favorite dolls.


Manus Midlarsky has edited a book based upon a conference on the impact of inequality on democracy. There are 12 chapters in this book (plus an introduction). The chapters take differing looks at the linkage of inequality with democracy. Some are more qualitative, others more quantitative. There is even an effort to use quantitative techniques to analyze Athenian democracy!
One of the more interesting chapters is an essay by Edward Muller, in which he statistically analyzes the relationship on inequality to democracy (chapter 5). In several tables reported in this chapter, he finds that greater inequality is associated with lower scores on a democracy index across countries. Another chapter (by Ember, Ember, and Russett) indicates that greater inequality goes with less voice from citizens.
Other chapters take a more exotic approach.
However, in the end, this is a fascinating, although somewhat idiosyncratic work, on an important subject.


This speaker is great, very powerful and easily loud enough for a small party outside on my patio. Eventually I plan on purchasing a second PLAY:5 to use them as a stereo pair in my bedroom, or to move into separate rooms while cleaning the house.
In regards to the SONOS system as a whole; I had initial misgivings before making the purchase, mainly due to price and the effective locking-in to the SONOS ecosystem. I have a variety of Apple products and I'd previously been quite happy using my AppleTV with AirPlay to stream music to my main audio system, but was looking for a portable speaker to use in the bedroom and outside on the patio.
I had been very tempted by some of the B&W AirPlay speakers, but I started looking at SONOS tech for the following reasons:
- AirPlay from a mobile device can only stream to a single speaker. A laptop or desktop can stream to multiple destinations, but isn't as convenient as an iPhone or iPad for music control.
- AirPlay is very dependent on the quality of your home WiFi network. Any interruptions or glitches in the wireless connection will cause issues with the stream.
The SONOS system sets up it's own independent WiFi network as to not be impacted by the usage of your home network. SONOS devices stream the music directly from the internet or your music library requiring only your mobile devices (Android / iOS phones and tablets) to be used for remote control.
Setup is very easy, authorization of additional devices or controllers is done by a simple button press on an existing device.
The core thing to be aware of is that for the SONOS devices to connect to the internet, one of them MUST have an Ethernet connection to your home network. All SONOS devices come with an Ethernet network port, and SONOS sells $50 the BRIDGE device specifically to perform this role if you don't already have another device in range of an Ethernet port.
In my case I purchased a PLAY:5 and a CONNECT device. The PLAY:5 is in my bedroom and the CONNECT is hooked up to my home theater receiver via a digital optical connection. The CONNECT plays the part of the BRIDGE as it is connected directly to my home network so I didn't need to purchase a BRIDGE.
I can heartily recommend the SONOS system and do so regularly to colleagues, friends, and just about anyone who'll listen.


I bought these guns for use in firearms training because I need to handle the guns (not just point and shoot at a target) extensively over several hours. Since my hands sweat, these allow me to maintain my grip without losing any dexterity when I am working on various skills for the proper handling of a firearm. They fit well but are not intrusive. I highly recommend them.


I do not like this Rocket because it won't stay together at all. It says that it a magnet to keep together but I doesn't work. I do not recommend this to anyone.


This  is a huge hit at Grandma's!  One of these arrived from the manufacturer one day last week and we have been having a blast with it ever since.  This well-made mold makes ice balls about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and is made of food grade silicon, heavy enough not to bend on the way to the freezer.  Yes, it "only" makes four ice balls at a time, but one ball will last an hour in a glass of water and more than two in soda - perfect for drinks (though you may want to pick up some glasses with wider bases).  It's really the "fun" stuff we've been having a ball with though.
With the holidays coming and lots of entertaining to be done, we've  put a few mint leaves, a few pieces of fruit or twists of lemon, orange or lime into the bottom half of the mold before adding water for a pretty effect once frozen.  We've also filled  the balls with punch  ingredients (minus any carbonated beverage that you would add), before freezing.  The frozen punch will chill your punch without diluting it.  Frozen ice balls can be removed from the mold and stored in zippered plastic bags in the freezer.
Grandma's $0.02 - Great for everyday, dynamite for entertaining.  You might want two of these!
Highly recommended


I really like these little cord holders. I had the white ones which are ok, but they do stand out. I bought the Black ones at 10$ since sometimes they go up in price.. def worth it at that price and they blend in better than white.  All in all I love these and they keep you from having cords laying around or tangling when not in use.


I do love Campbell's products,  so I will probably order the variety pack to try them all and give the Tavern pot roast to our food bank. The sodium wasn't an issue - I just didn't need to salt the dish. I am not a big mushroom eater so I was pleased to see the mushrooms were minimal, but the vinegar overwhelmed the garlic and mushroom - that was an unpleasant surprise.
We make pot roast 6 times a year maybe more. simple recipe. we dry the meat with a paper towel, coat the meat with minced garlic and sear the meat in a cast iron skillet (or pot), then put in in the slow cooker/crock-pot with small potatoes and diced carrots with beef broth for 8 hours on high. So I ordered the Tavern style sauce as an alternative.


This steam system is great. There are so many different tips/attachments, you can steam clean virtually any surface or object. I was extremely pleased with the results on everything I cleaned with it.
I have used it for
-floors
-shower walls (great for removing hard water buildup up on glass shower doors!)
-crevices and corners around the house where dust just accumulates and there's pretty much no way to easily clean it (until I got this steamer)
-detailing/designs in wood trims where dust builds up - especially in the bathroom where hairspray on top of dust over and over again, has built up in the detailing of wood trim and cabinet doors and drawer fronts
-got all the built up grease and grime off our propane grill and it looks brand new again now inside and out
-vinyl siding with moss stains/buildup as well as general dirt and debris from outside
-patio furniture
-grout lines
-mildew stains on a bathroom ceiling
-wallpaper - old (decades old) dingy looking wallpaper that has yellowed over the years - used this steamer with the mop head and the wallpaper looks clean and bright again and it makes the room look so much brighter
... the list goes on and on. Every time I cleaned something with this machine, I was on the search for something else to clean! I actually found it exciting to be able to get certain things cleaned up and looking new. The results were impressive each time I used it.
I had previously used a steam mop on linoleum in my laundry area and I thought it did a pretty good job. The floors seemed clean, but there was some yellowish discoloration in the linoleum that always stayed there. When I used this McCulloch steamer on it, the discoloration mostly went away. The areas that still have the discoloration have faded out a bit and you can't see it as much.
I really don't think there is anything you couldn't clean with this thing. There are so many attachmentsto be able to clean virtually anything. Even small tiny areas like buttons and crevices on your small appliances. The possibilities seem endless.
All of the attachments can be stored in the tote bag that comes with the steamer. The extending handle makes moving the steamer around very easy. You don't have to carry it  - just roll it. It seems pretty well made and solid.
This is a great machine to have because you can clean everything with it. It is definitely worth the investment. It might seem like a hassle to drag it out and use it, but once you do use it, you probably won't have to use it on the same item again for a while .. like the detailing in wood trim for example .. once you do it, it will be while before the buildup is bad enough again to need to use this steamer. My patio furniture I am planning to do yearly and it sure beats buying new furniture or cushions every year. We were going to get new grill plates for the grill this summer, but now we don't even have to because this did such a great job on it. Everything you see in the video up there on this page is true - this machine cleans just like it shows and does an excellent job.


I have one egg every morning and using this skillet makes it very easy. It also makes clean up easy. Love it!


I have thick hair that gets in the tub/shower drain, gets stuck in the pipe, and clogs it up. These don't catch all the hair, but they do reduce the volume of hair that gets down the drain. When the drain slows from accumulated hair, I pour white vinegar and baking soda down the drain, wait 15 minutes, run hot water down the drain, and then I use a plunger on top of the drain to create a vacuum and push any leftover clog around the pipe bend, so there's no more obstruction and the tub drains fast.. Between these drain protectors and that cleaning method, I don't have to clean the drain often and I don't have to use toxic products. And at the cheap price for these (and they're  biodegradable), I can replace them when they get more built-up soap scum than I like. You can also clean them in the dishwasher, or soak them in water and a little bleach if you like.


I received these worms on time and in good shape. A few weeks later, they are well-established in the worm composter, turning our table scraps and newspaper into compost. At first I only saw them here and there, now there seem to be hoards of worms doing their job.


I used this to replace the battery in my APC BACK-UPS ES 350. It fit perfectly and I encountered no problems during installation.
It's been installed for a couple of months and has been working fine. This is obviously a much less expensive solution to a dead UPS than buying a new one.


Used this glaze over a recent project with a Halcyon Blue milk paint.  Same company.  Caution, a little dab on your brush
goes a long way.  As always, test on some scrap of the same species to make sure you get what you want and practice
your technique.  I always treat finishing like my furniture building, always do a "dry fit".


This is the best tasting brand I have tried.  It is very smooth and creamy.  I eat it straight out of the jar or mix into smoothies.  I will purchase this brand again.


Wow.  Impressive. Every time I'm out with this, always wear it as a back back riding on my hog, I get complements. It is thick, rich, and terribly impressive. The real deal leather backpack. It'll definitely last longer than I will, one of those few items in life that can be passed down...this one with plenty of timeless cool style and character.


These belts work perfectly to sharpen knives.  I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants replacement belts for their sharpener.


No way could I get my cats to eat this! My vet even had me fast them for a day, but no go - they just could NOT be convinced to eat this formula. (Main ingredient is peas.) What a waste - going back to Iams!


This little gem is a "real looker" in it's appearance. As for what it does, it is simply amazing! Very small and easy to use. It functions very well and has a one year warranty as a real plus! This voice recorder can provide a lot of fun but I would not use it to "snoop". That would not be something that I would ever do! As for using it for a business undertaking, this is perfect! You can record a meeting and review it at a later time. This is a good value for something this sophisticated. If you are expecting "high fidelity", this does not go quite that far so don't use it for to record a symphony orchestra concert with high expectations. What you can do is record a visit by your grandchildren, download the file to your computer and you have the memories to listen to again and again. Highly recommended.


Photography is a hobby for me and my skills are intermediate.  I have other tripods and the best I can say for them is that they provide stability at the expense of flexability.  This tripod is significantly superior in quality and versatility.
For me,it is essential that any accessory be easy to set up and use. If it is too unwieldy or time-consuming, I will not use it.  I am left handed and left to my own devices would put everything together upside down and inside out.  Although the directions were a bit skimpy, I was able to set this device up with a minimum of frustration.  Similarly, it is easy to use once you get the hang of it.
I found it very sturdy but still light enough to lug around from venue to venue. After a few practice sessions at home, I had no difficulty adjusting the tripod and was amazed at the flexibility.  I also appreciated the fact that it extended above five feet.  My other tripods are shorter and being somewhat tall, their lack of height was something of an annoyance.
Unquestionably of professional grade, this tripod provides easy to use versatility and is sure to stimulate the creative juices.


Was looking for a good "safe" cooking set and went with these because of price and reviews.  Been using almost daily for about 2 months now.  I only use wood or plastic (no metal) when cooking but they are holding up great.  Still non-stick and still cook evenly.  I did quickly learn that the handles can't handle heat at all so if you are using gas, be sure the flame isn't larger than needed for pot size.  Or you will have a super smelly kitchen.


Very useful item, was able to set up my living room lights, each of the five controllers controls a different lamp. I attached the remotes to the wall and now have easy control of all the lighting in the room. Wish the receivers were a bit smaller and the remote a bit larger, but no big deal since the receivers work connected to a power strip. Easy to program, recommended. The buttons are responsive and so far reliable


I purchased a fan (Westinghouse Lighting 7877500 Arcadia Two-Light 46-Inch Reversible Three-Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan, Brushed Nickel with Frosted White Alabaster Glass) on Amazon which had two 40W Candelabra bulbs that were not very bright. I had tried LED, CFL bulbs which either buzzed or were too long and stuck out. Then I found these bulbs that fit perfectly and would dim a little, no buzzing and much brighter. Perfect for eating or reading with two of these in a dining room approx 12' x 10'.  5 stars


This statue was so cute that my sister in law wanted one also.  I bought this one for my mom.  I ended up buying two of these.


My students disassembled a handful of donated laptops and then used these to make external hard drives out of the removed hard drives. I was concerned with the idea not being sure of the difficulty level, but it was perfect for 9th graders.


At a weight of 250 lbs, this is basically useless.  Also, unless you have fairly good coordination, I think it will be difficult to utilize.  I had hoped to use it in conjunction with my weight loss program.  Not a chance!  First off, I'm too awkward to do much of what it is set up to do, and secondly I think I will need to lose the weight first and then try the board again.
Other family members tried it and had some success with different games, but none of them had much interest in getting it out of the closet again.  So it sits...and sits...and sits.  Someday perhaps I will try it again, but that is about 50 lbs away.


If you like Hershey's Cookies 'n Creme bars, it is safe to say that these eggs will melt your face off.  The thick shape allows for a perfect ratio of white chocolate to chocolate cookies.  The white chocolate has a creamy consistency and the cookies add just the right crunch.
I can be a chocolate snob, eating super dark bars from fancy brands, but sometimes I crave this fun junk food.  I highly recommend it in eggy Easter form.


I own several Kensington products and have been pleased with most all of them.  This case is indeed, beautiful but it has some design flaws that a cover/keyboard in this high price range should be addressed.  Firstly and most importantly... It is HEAVY!  The reason that many people buy an iPad Air is because of it's SUPER lightweight (1.5 lbs) design.  Adding this keyboard/case DOUBLES the weight to 3 lbs. You cannot turn the IPad into the portrait position and the clasp on the cover is metal and can hit and scratch your IPad screen.  The cover itself is beautiful and looks very professional.  I just can't honestly give this product any more than 3 stars due to the design flaws...


One loves it and the other can care less, But the austrailian shepard I have loves chewwing and he is so happy now, Even hear him chewing during the midnight hours


I got a broken one i think, but the chair i recieved was all mesh and no leather. The chair itself was funky to put together and i mostly just guessed at what screw to put where, and after getting it right, the chair felt like it was leaning forward the whole time, no matter how much i adjusted the knob underneath... not to mention the lumbar pad just popped out after 1 sit. :/


I definitely didn't think I'd be nearly this excited about a mailbox - but it's AWESOME.  We put this mailbox up a week ago - took my boyfriend 30 minutes I think, using the adapter - available on amazon for $13; super easy - snaps onto the bottom of this mailbox & allows you to easily attach this to a wooden 4x4 post.  This replaced our incredibly old quintessential metal mailbox.
I'm a serious online shopper (although oddly enough I bought this at walmart for $30) - but I tend to get anywhere from 5-20 packages a week.  Most come from UPS, but a few come via USPS.  The other day I was expecting 2 from USPS so when I saw him drive on without bringing anything up to the door I was kinda annoyed.  Until of course I went out to the mailbox - where I was shocked to see that both packages fit in this thing!!!  I bet my mailman loves me now, since he'll rarely have to get out any more!!
This will also fit most of the packages I mail out each week - before I would have to put some on the ground & leave a sticky note for my mailman pointing down - again, I'm sure he'll appreciate not having to get out and pick those up.
I uploaded a pic of everything that fit in there the other day...and there was still room for more!!
This totally exceeded my expectations...I love it!!


Nice quality, works well to grab BGE grates.  One review mentioned plating--mine is not plated and is made from stainless.


One of the few downsides of CA glues, is that they can set inside the nozzle or cap. Being able to replace the nozzle and/or cap can provide significant savings.


Although I'm not an audiophile, over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to use and try several different types of headphones. Recently, I had the opportunity to use and try the MEELECTRONICS SPORT-FI M6P NOISE ISOLATING IN-EAR HEADPHONES WITH MICROPHONE, REMOTE, AND UNIVERSAL VOLUME CONTROL.  For the retail price these headphones sell for, they are an incredible good buy. I've had some headphones that cost around $150 and the MEE ELECTRONICS SPORT-FI M6-P HEADPHONES are just as good in sound quality as those.
These headphones are more like earbuds since they actually go inside one's ear instead of over them. However, unlike some other earbuds I've used, these hurt my ears after extended use.  Each part of the headphone is designed for a particular ear: one piece has a small "R" for the right side of one's head while the other is marked with a "L" for the left side of one's head.  The design of the earbuds also makes them good for exercise. However, as I've only used them while briskly walking, I can't say for sure how they will do while running or doing more strenuous exercise. However, the headphones do come equipped with a small clip (like a microphone clip) that can clip on to a piece of clothing.
 In terms of aesthetics, I don't like the look of these headphones. It's not a terrible design, but even in the black color I just don't find them as visually pleasing as other headphones I've used and seen.
While listening to music are a video with the headphones on, the sound doesn't escape the headphones unless the volume is turned up extremely high. Also, although they aren't designed as ear plugs, the headphones also work rather well at keeping most outside noises out.
These headphones are also equipped with a microphone and volume control. I have not used these headphones as a microphone so I can't say how they function in that capacity.
Overall, the MEELECTRONICS SPORT-FI M6P NOISE ISOLATING IN-EARHEADPHONES WITH MICROPHONE, REMOTE, AND UNIVERSAL VOLUME CONTROL are a good set of headphones for the price.


This supermarket set is indeed a very creative and sturdy toy. The build quality is very solid and the colors on plastic pieces are very bright and realistic. The supermarket items look like real-life with their creatively designed colors and shapes.
It is very engaging for young kids (3+ years) and carries an exceptional educational value. As an adult you can teach the variety of products to kids, and focus on things like counting, addition, subtraction etc.
This toy does require some time to set up and then one has to keep track of all the small pieces, which can be lost easily. It will appeal to around kids of 3-8 years of age and has potential to be used for long time (not just a few months). If you have other Calico family toy, this one will fit right in the collection.
With so many little parts, you have to be cautious if there are other younger babies or infant in your home who can possibly swallow them.
A little pricey toy, but the value of money is huge with years over years of use.


Cleaned the surface really good and stuck the protector on there.  One piece of dirt still got past me, but it was on the edge which would go under the case, so no problem.  It does not show up the finger prints like the glossy ones typically do so it looks really good.


Holds a lot of hose, is easy to wind, and I like that the lid lifts. Liked it so much that I bought a second one.


A great DVD for high school students. I use it as an introduction to Jane Goodall, preceding our reading of her book Through A Window. Conveniently split into the IMAX feature (around 30 minutes) and another "making of" featurette. Making science fun!


This oil is very slick. I think it is better than silicone. It is a synthetic oil. So far i have had no problem using it in any of my air-soft firearms


This Procella 62 inch golf umbrella is a great value. My gold standard umbrella is a 68 inch Gustbuster Titleist branded umbrella. The Procella stacks up well in comparison, and is less expensive.
The Procella umbrella has some great features - the handle is rubberized beefy, with a golf grip style pattern. With one button press the umbrella shoots open - a super nice feature when it starts raining and you want to get under the umbrella quickly. This is a double canopy umbrella, meaning the top two thirds of the umbrella are covered with a second layer. That second layer is vented to the main canopy. Inside the umbrella mesh covers the opening between the two layers - this is super nice because it improves the strength of the fabric.
Those are features the Procella has that are better than the Gustbuster. The Procella weighs a half pound less than the Gustbuster (1 pound 8 ounces to 2 pounds). I guess you could get an extra beer in your golf bag for the weight savings - advantage Procella. Both have similar sewing and cloth for the canopy - neither is perfection. They are both pretty close to the same length (the Gustbuster is about 6 inches longer, but that's really negligible), and are the same diameter when wrapped up closed (they both fit in a standard golf bag umbrella holder). The Gustbuster is a bigger umbrella (well you knew that, 62 inches versus 68), the difference is actually more significant than you might imagine. You will probably never get wet underneath either umbrella, but that extra six inch diameter and deeper dome might come in handy. Slight advantage Gustbuster. They both have sturdy spines or skeleton. The Gustbuster went with a single spar and used a thicker material. Procella went with smaller spars and a second support rod. Don't think one is really that much better than the other - they will both work.
The Gustbuster has two big differences. The first one is price; it is a lot more expensive. When I wrote this review the Procella is selling for $35 and I paid $65 for the Titleist umbrella. Gustbusters can be purchased without a brand on them for around $50. Huge advantage for Procella.
The second big difference is the upper canopy, and this may or may not be worth all the extra money. Gustbuster added elastic hold down strips to the upper canopy. If there is a really strong wind, the upper canopy can actually lift away from the umbrella allowing more air to flow through the umbrella. That little tiny difference could be the difference between the umbrella flying away and keeping ahold of it. I'm not sure how frequently that would come into play - it might be so nasty out at that stage, you should be in the clubhouse anyway (or have on rain gear).
The Procella I was sent for testing is a blue and white umbrella. I like the look a lot, the blue is a nice deep royal blue and the company name and logo is printed in black on a white section. The umbrella looks handsome - my wife said she wouldn't hesitate to grab this umbrella; she would leave the Titleist behind - too much golf logo for her taste.
Oh it is a onetime thing; the box the umbrella came in is really pretty. This arrived in the middle of winter and the picture around the box is a beautiful blue sky with a perfectly placed golf ball on some fairway grass. Yes, that's what dreams are made of.
The Procella golf umbrella is a great reasonably priced alternative to more expensive umbrellas. And because it is that much lighter than the others, you can get an extra beverage in your bag for the same weight.


this is a awesome movie. this movie rules. love this movie. the characters are cool, the story is good and the animation is great. Disney never fails to disappoint. this is another great addition to the Disney movie family. Baymax is awesome. if you have not seen this movie then i recommend you do


My mount came on my DW special edition Buddy Rich tribute kit in the Classic series. It has some nice features like a quick tightening lever in the L-rod, and it came with some semi-nice features like the memory lock on the rail. The latter may be useful to some folks, but it also takes up some real estate on the rail itself, diminishing how far you can shift the tom position.
While the construction is typical DW perfection, the design is not. It incorporates the worst aspects of a rail mount. Specifically, it slips. A simple light knurling on the rail or the inside of the clamp that grabs it would have prevented that. I have to brace the rack tom that is on my kit against my snare drum to hold it in position. To me that is a major failing.
On the plus side, the hole pattern will fit the Walberg & Auge rail that was used by Ludwig, Slingerland, Leedy and others when this was the way to mount a tom. I measured it on my 1961 Slingerland lit as well as a Gretsch round badge kit. Of course it will not fit the Ludwig models that had the four-hole pattern that they used in the 1960s.
Also, if you are making a purchase decision as to whether this or the  will best suit your needs I would personally opt for this one. I have owned and used both and this one is better constructed and sits a little lower for approximately the same price (at the time of this review).  However, be aware that both are flawed and both have slipping problems.
If you are looking for a rail for a vintage kit you may want to check out the Steve Maxwell rail that is easy enough to find with a web search. That one is built to the old Walberg & Auge specs,  but with better tolerances and is actually less apt to slip than this DW rail or the Gibraltar model.
I love my DW kit, but this rail is the weak link.


The BELLA Programmable Slow Cooker lets you choose the temperature (High, Low, or Warm) and the time (from 30 minutes to 20 hours, in 30 minutes increments). However, it does not automatically switch to Warm when the High or Low time has expired.  So you need to be home at the end of the cooking time.
I have used this for one recipe so far, and the chicken was done just right.  So I think the temperature must be about the same as other slow cookers.
The controls are quite simple.  The instructions in the booklet don't match the actual device (the book refers to a non-existent "Time" button), but you really don't need instructions.  Just pick the temperature and pick the number of hours, and then it starts.
I think this slow cooker is more attractive in real life than in the picture.  It looks like a cheap, bright red in the picture.  It is actually a rich deep red, not quite a brick red but leaning that way.


I got this item to record video content from my laptop that is standard definition. I like to have material recorded onto a DVD disc so that I can watch it on my standard DVD player.
This unit can also record via the internal hard drive. The material that you record in the hard drive can be kept there or archived onto a DVD disc. The transfer process is pretty easy(kind of like the old VHS to DVD transfers).
And there is also a digital tuner that works reasonably well. Connections include S-Video, Component Video, and standard A/V. Overall this is a good machine that is hard to find nowadays and can be rather pricey.


It works well, I cut it into smaller pieces when I don't need a whole one. Took a lot of rust off my bicycle with this stuff, it holds up pretty well. I will buy more in the future when I need it.


ANDRIA'S BRUSH-ON STEAK SAUCE. 15 FLUID OUNCES (450 mL). Why this is called a steak sauce, is the question of the day. It tastes like a brown brisket (not the red corned beef brisket) gravy made from boiled down beef brisket meat juice, along with the strained carrots, celery and onions. The next time I cook a brisket and run out of gravy, I can always use Andria's instead. Andria's is not a steak sauce, it is a brisket style gravy, with added soy sauce. The label mentions marinating a steak in it, and brushing it on a steak during cooking. Maybe I will use it if I overcook a steak until it is dry and brown inside like a brisket, -otherwise, no thank you. Andria's is also a bit salty, and contains 400 mg of salt per tablespoon, about what you would get in a hotdog, and hotdogs are considered salty to begin with. People with high blood pressure and on a low salt diet may want to avoid this sauce altogether. Andria's also contains soybeans, giving it a bit of a soy sauce flavor. It might be suitable for use on Chinese food in place of regular soy sauce, but not for use on a steak. As far as I am concerned, this is fifteen ounces of expensive gravy or soy sauce. Be careful when pouring, as the bottle does not have a soy sauce shaker top, and you can easily dump it out all at once. The Nutrition Facts and INGREDIENTS as listed on the label are as follows:  Nutrition Facts: Serving Size 1 tbsp (15 g), Servings per container 30. Amount Per Serving: Calories 10 (Calories from fat 0), Total Fat 0 g (Saturated Fat 0 g, Trans Fat 0 g), Sodium 400 mg, Total Carbohydrate 2 g (Sugars 1 g), Protein 0 g.  INGREDIENTS: Water, Onions, Garlic, Wheat, Soybeans, Salt, Caramel, Carrots, Celery, Parsnips, Turnips, Parsley, Spices, Potassium Sorbate, and Potassium Benzoate, Phosphoric Acid, Dextrose, Silicon Diaxide added to preserve freshness (Dioxide? Their spelling mistake, not mine). Allergens: Contains Soybeans, Wheat, Dextrose.  The EXP date is stamped in black on the top of the white bottle cap.  If you walk down the supermarket aisle, and you see the label "ANDRIA'S BRUSH-ON STEAK SAUCE", you naturally think that it is what it says it is, a steak sauce. You won't notice the fine print on the back label until you get home. I will type the label information exactly as it is on the back label: "AFTER OPENING STIR WELL KEEP REFRIGERATED For Charcoal Broiling or Oven Broiling, Baking, or Grilling. Also add to Ground Meats, Stews, and Gravies. Can be Used as a Microwave Browning Agent. BRUSH-ON Before and During Cooking Beef, Chops, Hamburger, Roasts, Meat loafs, Etc. Also Excels as a Marinade."  It may be a matter of definitions, but in my best attempt to decipher the purpose of this sauce, it is a marinade that you put on meat prior to cooking, and it can also be used as a basting "Browning Agent" during cooking to keep the meat from drying out. It also mentions adding it to gravies, which makes sense, as this sauce tastes like a gravy already. If this sauce is really meant for cooking, it should not, I repeat, not, mention steak sauce on the front label. A steak sauce is something that you put on your steak after it is cooked and placed on your plate, regardless of whether you choose to brush it on or pour it on. I hope that this note has helped folks to clear up any confusion that they might have as to what ANDRIA'S BRUSH-ON STEAK SAUCE really is. Purist human carnivores even prefer making do with a little salt and black pepper on their steak. Myself, I prefer adding a steak sauce, and this Andria's sauce is definitely not a steak sauce.

I got this game for my six year old son.  He has the first one and wanted this one, too.
Pros:  Fun, age appropriate (for the most part) kids' music.  Songs my son recognizes, some from his kids' music, some from his older brother and sister.  Either way, he really enjoys it.
Moves he can follow and do well at.
Simple to follow instructions.
Gives him a real workout!
Cons:  Most of the music is like Kids Bop: Sung by kids or others and not the original songs.  My son doesn't seem to mind, for the most part, but sometimes it is annoying.
Sometimes frustrating to follow the moves.
Overall I am very happy with this game.  It does what it needs to:  Keeps my son interested while providing exercise on those stuck-inside kind of days.  Even the older kids join in on occasion, and we all have a good laugh!


A stencil is a stencil and I find it difficult to get too excited over it one way or another.  This consists of a sheet of plastic with punched out letters.  I agree with other posters that the seller should be more specific about how large the individual letters are rather than the size of the overall sheet.  One work-around is to download the jpg, size it to 7x10", and print it out.  This will give you a very good idea of the sizes.
The main problem I have with stencils is not securing them tight enough to the item I am stenciling.  In this case, I found it much easier to cut the individual words out and tape them down tightly.
All in all, this is a fine product and I will get a lot of use out of it.  It is also a very economical product.
Stencil on!


We bought this and it was missing two support pieces, so we had to return it and get a better brand.  It's one thing to have your product made in China to save on costs, it's another to let your quality control go to zero: this company shipped out the box with several parts missing.  To add insult to injury they were closed when we called to ask for more.
Lousy company!


The devil is in the details and it is the lack of attention to the details that makes this only an OK bean bag. The fabric is a camo pattern but then the manufacturer puts a large white logo label on the outside of the bag. A handle is provided but the strap is stitched into the top of the bag and with any amount of weight the strap is going to rip out of the fabric. A zipper is provided but it only opens to provide a 3" by 2" opening for pouring in whatever you will be using to fill the bag. The Velcro sections on the bag are a third as long as they should be for the straps to secure the bag.
I will keep the bean bag and use it but I would not buy one again nor would I recommend it to others for the reasons mentioned.
The bag takes about 1.5 lbs. of buckwheat hulls to get it two-thirds full.


There may be spoilers.
I feel a little guilty giving this movie two stars.  In actuality it is one of the worst, dumbest movies ever made.  However, I think that is much of the point of these offbeat movies made for the SyFy Network.  You could easily make an argument that for investment purposes, this may be one of the best movies ever.  Made for $1 million, it's a big hit.  So here's the deal.
Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) is a former surfing champ who now owns a bar on the beach near L. A.  As a hurricane brews off the Mexican coast, strong winds move up the California shoreline.  Water spouts begin to appear at the same time as a large school of sharks.  Before you know it, the large water spouts pick up the sharks and start depositing them inland.  At the same time the tropical storm is flooding everything.  This give the re-deposited sharks access to the storm drains as well as an occasional swimming pool.
Fin along with an Australian surfing buddy Baz (Jaason Simmons), George (John Heard), the local drunk and a hot employee named Nova (Cassie Scerbo) head for the hills (literally) to look in on Fin's ex-wife, April (a stone faced Tara Reid), his teenage daughter, Claudia (Aubrey Peeples) and college aged son, Matt (Chuck Hittinger).  Well Matt's away at flight school or something, April and Claudia insist they don't need help.  That is until a flying shark eats April's new boyfriend.
So most of the movie has sharks appearing from everywhere eating everything and everyone in their path.  Fin and company concoct a plan to have flyboy Matt and Nova take a helicopter up into the now 3 tornados and toss in an improvised bomb which will defuse the tornado and kill the sharks contained therein.  And guess what?  It works.  One casualty is Nova when she is taken off guard and swallowed by a flying great white shark.
Although for most of the movie, I thought Nova was going to be Fin's girlfriend, it turns out she's better suited for son Matt.  That way Fin can reunite with April.  But wait, Nova was swallowed by the great white.  No matter.  Fin armed with a chain saw, manages to find the same fish and dive in head first, cutting his way out from the inside and saving Nova for Matt.  I have to admit to laughing out loud for much of the film.  I was especially caught up in several lines uttered that came verbatim from "Jaws."  Like I said, this may be the worst or best movie ever.


I couldn't believe how small the box was when this rack arrived. My second Allen bike rack, this rack is made well and easy to install. My previous rack is meant for a trunk, so wouldn't fit my Honda CR-V, so needed this rack. It is easy to install. I haven't used it yet, but based on my other rack, am sure it will do well. Allen's customer service is great as well. If I should have any issues, I know they will help.


REVIEW BY DOWNI:
It’s always a good day in the Boyter household when an Amazon package arrives, and when this item was delivered and unpacked I did my usual: I jumped into the big box and began to purr. Imagine my surprise when Angie unrolled two big tunnels that had been in the box and left them on the floor for me to explore as well. I sniffed at the dangling toys at the entrance and crawled inside the big tunnel.  It makes a VERY satisfying rustle when I move through it, which is fun, and it has a window in the middle that lets me peek out at the people. I enjoyed exploring the tunnel and then capped off the experience by settling inside for a nice nap.
The small tunnel didn’t interest me too much, but I’m a BIG cat, and kittens might enjoy it more. I might even let my sister Rikki play with it so that she’ll leave MY BIG tunnel alone.
I get bored with even the best toys after a while, so Angie puts them away until they are likely to pique my interest again. The big tunnel has three hook-and-loop mechanisms to hold the tunnel shut when it is folded, which makes it easy to store, and the little tunnel can be secured shut using the loop on the dangling toy. The tunnels look well-made, and I think we'll have them to play with for a long time.
All in all, this was that rare Amazon delivery where I’d rate the contents higher than the box. Since the boxes themselves are usually five-star items, in my opinion, these tunnels certainly deserve the highest rating. I am sure discriminating cats in your household will agree!


It is a gift for someone and I don't have a say for this, but was told it was a good movie.  Someone is exciting to have this one.


The LED Bike light is certainly a bright idea. The flashlight is one of the brightest I have ever seen. It requires 3 AAA batteries to operate. The flashlight is removable from the mount, so you can take it with you from your bike. That's important because this is a pretty awesome flashlight and you wouldn't want it stolen.
The flashlight itself requires 3 AAA batteries. And certainly makes this a bright light. There are different magnification levels for how much "spread" you want or how "directed" you want your beam. The flahslight has a handle too so you can strap it in on your hand when it's portable.
This is a nice light to have on your bike. I wouldn't ride my bike without it.


What's not to like? The chiles included in this sauce rank among the very hot--the ghost pepper, Scotch bonnet, Trinidad 7 pot, Trinidad Scorpion, Trinidad Maruga Scorpion. All ranking high on the Scoville scale.
However, the sauce is not just hot--but it has a nice taste. Other components of the sauce: carrots, onions, mustard, vinegar, salt, turmeric, paprika, garlic. . . . Put it all together, and you get a pretty decent taste.
I initially used this on a black bean burger, with the usual complements (tomato, greens, cheese, onion). The sauce ended up adding a nice hot element to the combination. I'm looking forward to using this product in the future. . . .


Not a full size unit, and labeled a brake honor on package.  Did the job I had to do to rough up cylinder on 19 hp mower engine.  Did not give it a five star, only because I am not familiar with stone quality and need for engine work.  Some may say to coarse, I do not know.  Worked just like my expensive one I gave away.  Never thought I would need one again.  States size 2.5 inch to 5 inch.  My use was about 3.5 inch.


I have been steeped in digital photography for over a decade and have quite a few cameras to fit my needs.  I'm not a totally gear-head - I do tend to prefer cameras that work well in pure automatic mode, reserving manual fine tuning for rare occasions.  In other words, a camera that is only serviceable via RAW mode is no use for me.  I have three cameras in my arsenal right now, the , , and the .  The A4000IS is really the camera for the kids, but the S100 is my pocket camera and the 20D DSLR is my good camera for when I don't mind the weight.
So where does the Fuji H50EXR fit into this picture?  This is a bridge camera, with the body profile of a DSLR, but the lens is not interchangeable and the cost is far less.  There are plenty of extensive reviews on the web, so I'm hoping my review can provide insight beyond the encyclopedic coverage on features you will never use.
In short, this camera has three strong points going for it - the 42x zoom, the 24mm wide angle, and the f2.8 aperture opening.  That's not to say there aren't other great features (like a bright LCD, HD movie recording, etc), but those are what sets it out at this price point.
Most people know why 42x zoom is important.  Note that this is a purely optical zoom, not digital.  Digital zoom just takes a high resolution photo and pre-crops it.  Optical zoom preserves the image quality.  With the 1000mm lens, you can zoom into far away objects quite easily.  The zoom is manual, a nice feature when zooming during a video, or when you need to zoom quickly.  Many cameras are near useless at maxmium zoom without a tripod because the image blurs, but the built-in image stabilization means that the 42x is quite usable.
It is also nice that the lens can go to 24mm.  That means you can do easier shots indoors when the subject is near you - this is effectively a wide-angle or macro-type setting.  Many super zoom lenses cannot also do the 24mm setting.
So what is f2.8 and why should you care?  The f-setting refers to how wide the aperture can open.  While the f2.8 only applies at the widest setting, it is significantly better than competing cameras, many of which are closer to f3.5.  In dark rooms, a camera with a lower f-setting will let in more light and get lighter pictures with shorter exposure time.
What else does the camera offer?  It has some cool features such as a built-in panorama stitch mode and a 480fps movie mode for making slow-motion videos.  These features are mostly for fun.  The panorama stitch mode unfortunately only does vertical resolution of 1080 pixels, or less than 1/3 the normal vertical resolution of a still photo.  The 480fps mode also is extremely low resolution and is neat, but almost unusable as the video is so hard to see.
There are some facts of life with this camera.  You can't get a pitcher of orange juice from one orange, nor can you get the best images from a small sensor and smaller optics.  The sensor is small, only 1/2", which means that images will have more noise than DSLR cameras with larger sensors.  While large sensors have started to filter into the lower-end space, they don't come in cameras that have 42x zooms or cost less than $500.  Camera specifications for a given price range have give and take.  The  might have a large beautiful sensor, but the kit lens is only 55mm, not 1000mm.  Add on a better lens and you're into DSLR territory.  In short, a camera must be evaluated on imagequality within the price range of the camera.
There are some similar market competitors with even better zooms for similar camera bodies, but of course many don't have all of the extra features like panorama or the really wide aperture.
All of that being said, it's a 4 star camera.  I was disappointed that they didn't include a manual and I had to download it off the web.  I couldn't find any method to show a histogram of the picture during review, a useful feature to know if the photo is properly exposed.  It has since been pointed out to me how to do it, so I can say it does have histogram, but I still couldn't find it easily.  The camera screen also didn't give me useful feedback in manual mode to know if the picture would be properly exposed once taken as I adjusted the aperture and shutter speed.  I had to click and find out.  A manual focus wheel, a multi-purpose adjust dial, and a "quick" menu are a manual do-it-yourselfer's dream, but you will take some time to get used to these.
I also found the user interface a little cumbersome.  Given that this is a new camera, it's about time they went touchscreen and got rid of all of these buttons.  Browsing and zooming on photos you took requires two buttons near the front of the top and the scroll wheel on the back.  In quite a few uses, you will find yourself going all over the camera looking for the right button.  I acknowledge that some of this may be familiarity - I know Canon better than Fuji - it just seems that they didn't make this as easy as they could have for new photographers.  The interface just felt clunky and not well organized.
Other shortcomings?  The flash must be manually opened and the zoom is also a little stiff compared to my DSLR to turn.  Truthfully, the camera is surprisingly heavy for its position as a bridge camera.  It's honestly not much lighter than my DSLR, and when I went out with it on a hike today, wondered why I didn't just bring my DSLRalong.  Granted, I normally carry a 270mm lens and not a 1000mm one, but I was still surprised by the weight.  That being said, not everyone can afford a DSLR, making this an excellent choice as a value high-end camera.
Despite smaller shortcomings, this is a nice camera that you can take from the box, put into "auto" mode, and start taking nice photos.  If you value the 1000x zoom, the f2.8 setting, and the lower cost, it is a fine choice for general purpose use and for a low-cost alternative to a DSLR that gets you a wide aperture and excellent zoom.


I bought four of them.  Very notable performance improval in each of my phones since I put them in.  These worked well.  Much better than buying some at "Batteries Plus" last time, and getting stale batteries.  these seem fresh and strong.


After two excellent seasons, the question is: how much longer this show can keep up with its own success?
Where season two had a build-up that went through the whole season, it took me awhile to figure out where this one was headed.  Lots of new bad guys were introduced, and dispatched.  But lots of plot threads were introduced and developed.  Eventually, one especially noticeable bad guy appeared, and didn't get dispatched, so it became clear how the season would wind up; the only remaining question was how it would unfold.
The bad guy was a prominent one-season bad guy from another TV show.  He does creepy really well.  In the interest of avoiding any kind of spoiler, I won't say who it is, but those of you who saw that other show a couple years ago will recognize him immediately.
I don't know if it was the complexity of all the plot threads, or whether they were presented less clearly as in previous seasons, but it wasn't always obvious why things were happening.  There are many things to note and remember to really get what's going on, but the problem is there are many other things that aren't essential to the main thread going on, too.
There are hints about how it will all end sprinkled liberally through the plot.  Even so, it is satisfying to watch it all unfold.
BOTTOM LINE: Four Stars ("I Like It").  I thought the first two seasons were excellent, and this was a small notch down.  I'll watch the fourth season.


I bought this to replace a ball mark repair tool I lost.  I love this style because it has the regular size ball marker (the size of a quarter), but also has a second, dime-sized ball marker (for marking someone else's ball, for example).  It's good quality construction.
The four balls that are included look very cheap.  There is an obvious seam on each ball, and the "M" logo's are missing some detail, like it was rubbed off.  I haven't hit them because I don't want to hurt my clubs! (I expect they feel like rocks).  They're nice for display cases, I suppose.


This Sony DSC W370 is light, and small enough to slide into a pocket easily. For people with big hands, you might want to attach a long strap to the camera to prevent dropping it by mistake. The menu system is pretty intuitive for settings. Nevertheless, this's a simple point-and-shoot, not much settings for me to play around. The screen is large and bright enough to see on a moderate sunny day. The small battery is the same as the one used in my Sony DSC-TX10. Be aware, the small battery won't hold too much charge (I learned it from using my Sony DSC-TX10), if you plan to use the camera for a long day, you should get a backup battery. The backup batteries are quite available in Amazon, with pretty good price.
The built in flash is strong enough to improve the lighting condition for objects in 6 feet range. Time from power-off to photo taking is less than 2 second, which is good for this small camera. The delay between shot is about 1 second if no flash light is used. When flash light is used, you need to wait a little bit longer for charging the flash light, this is pretty typical for camera in this price range.
The photo quality is just ok as the photo does not seem to be sharp. When shooting indoor where lighting is weak, you can see some grainy photos. The problem is less when shooting outdoor with good lighting.
In video taking mode, the menu already declares that zooming noise will be captured by the camera. I usually edit my videos, so I can silent the zooming noise from the video clips. Not a big issue to me. When you move your camera around in video mode, the camera adjusts the focus continuously. This is a camera, not a camcorder. So, don't move camera too fast, this gives camera time to adjust focus continuously.
The panorama mode is just for fun as the panorama photo quality is not very impressive. If you are seriously in creating panorama photos, I recommend to take still shots and create the final panorama photo with photo editing software.
The 8x lens is a big selling point for such a small point-and-shoot camera. But the image stabilization does not seem to be strong enough. So, you need a very steady hand to take advantage of the 8x lens, otherwise the photo will be blurry.
All in all, for price under $100, this would be a good buy. For price in the $130 range, there might be better options around.


Using simply for my neck as my conditioner gives me neck acne.  So far so good, but the scent is heavily grapefruit that annoys my nose.  Great price, however, as I've noticed L'Oreal on Amazon is much cheaper than in store.  I plan on using this MORE during the summer when I'm using heavier sunscreen to get that out of my pores.
Will post if neck bumps clear off.


Much too small for a man's arm.  These barely fit my 5' 3" petite wife who weighs 109 pounds.  I can barely manage to pull them past my elbow and it is bordering on pain even with my arm outstretched, let alone when I bend my elbow.  I am extremely disappointed in the size.  I don't know if this material shrinks in the wash, but if it does, even my wife will have trouble with it. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 185 pounds and not so much of it is fat. My BMI is 25.
I will have to keep looking for a long arm length sleeve that I can wear outdoors while wearing a short sleeved shirt. I thought this one had the best potential, but obviously not.  I want it primarily to prevent sunburn while driving and doing yard work or playing tennis. I am open to referrals for a bigger size.


I have tried the cheap stuff and Pampers is the best for our baby hands down. We will stick to this brand for a while now.


Good quality headphones for my young son.  You just have to be very careful with the folding hinges, they can break easy if not handled with care.


I do love strange little hybrid ideas... and this is indeed a strange little hybrid idea indeed.  But functional one, which is not always the case.  Slight twist to the right to open the compact.  The mirror is highly reflective safety plastic (what is used for rear-seat safety mirrors) and makes your face appear smaller, basically fitting my head into the reflection with it about 1 foot away from my face.
The 5000mAh battery itself performs on par with expectations, it's single port rated at 2.1A - thus charging iPhone 6 at optimum speeds as well as most large tablets.
I guess my only slight reservation is the compact interior.  The rather drab, utilitarian black paper covering of the battery portion could use some sort of face lift (pun intended... I know, I know).
-- I received this as a complimentary review product with the aim of hopefully elucidating features and drawbacks that may help you ultimately decide what fits your needs and budget best.


This is a nice folio type case for the iPhone 6. The matte cover has a smooth, rubberized and non-slippery feel to it. The iPhone is securely snapped in a built-in plastic cradle inside. The ring/silent switch, volume buttons, headphone jack and lightning connector are fully exposed, which means any third party lightning cable with a bigger connector should be able to plug in without obstruction. The interior of the front cover has a slot for storing a couple of credit cards and driver license (any more cards would make it uneven and too bulky).
Another great feature is that the folio case can be converted into a stand for the iPhone (in landscape mode). The back cover folds back a little for the phone cradle to stand on the interior of the front cover. It works pretty well when you want to watch a video clip or use video chatting. In addition, the back has a nice, clean oval cutout for the rear camera and flash.
I like this folio case for the added protection against drops since the phone cradle is recessed from the outer edges of the folio covers. The extra margin helps absorb impact from a drop. On the other hand, this makes the case slightly longer and wider than the iPhone. It in turn makes an already large, hard-to-pocket iPhone 6 even harder to put in a pocket.
Overall, this is a sleek, great looking folio case. I really like the simplicity design with a slot for a credit card and driver license (which are probably what you'll need to carry with you for most days), and that it can double up as a stand for easy viewing on a table. It also protects the large touchscreen well with its cover. It may not be truly pocketable, but it certainly protects the iPhone well.


This color looks just like the picture this polish really holds up well,I used a base coat first because the blues tend to stain than painted  two coats with a top coat looks great and very good quality polish.


This is a great colors chart. Really good for toddlers still learning their colors & words.  Makes it very very clear what's going on - that the word you're using is the color, not the item itself (so when I say blue & point at the blue box he's not thinking the word for a butterfly is blue; of course then I say 'blue butterfly', which makes it even clearer - but for any little ones who don't know the names of all the color examples - this is great).  We have lots of 'colors' board books (the tiny ones & one regular one) - but I really don't like the layout or presentation of the whole color concept in those.  This is so much clearer - and all in one place - so they can see all these colors next to each other & understand the idea of colors.
The only improvement it could have is lamination - if it was laminated - well that woudl be perfect.  But for the price I paid (2.50 right now, not an add on & free amazon shipping...you can't beat that!), it definitely deserves 5 stars.


The Scotch Heat Free Laminating System does a pretty good job. I like that it IS heat free. To be honest, my husband is better at using these things than I am--he has more patience, but he is pleased with the results and has used it several times. I could see this being useful for scrap-booking. It's portable, which is nice, as well. I think it's easy to use, especially for a novice like me. Would recommend this one.


This battery is GREAT. On a full charge, this baby allows my Aspire One to run (uninterrupted) for nearly 12 hours, depending on what I'm doing. Will watch movies for 6 hours, surf the net and work on homework for 12+ hours. Very well made, no compatibility issues with my Aspire One, good to go out of the box!


After a snafu in shipping, I reordered this PC board to make an adjustable Power Feed for my boat to drive a device that uses Two D cell batteries to aerate my live well.  Works great and just plugs into the lighter socket on the dash.  I take it and the bubbler off for transport of the bucket and let the batteries take over when I'm not near a 12vdc lighter socket.  Works great.


works just like the original medela product.  no complaints here.  Using it with the medela pump in style advanced double breastpump


This film is high in camp value. The city is selling drugs to pre-teen kids in their community. Apparently the drugs are from the CIA who need money to fund secret wars, although this aspect is background to the street scene.
Pastor Debra (Shirlee Knudson) is on a crusade to clean up the streets. With well choreographed moves we haven't seen since Pamela Grier and Teresa Graves braved them, she becomes a focal point for laughter. She is aided by the mysterious "Fist" (Leo Fong) who can stealthy moved through the city unnoticed due his slow motion swagger music and Father Guido Sarducci disguise. Fred Williamson helps out later as soon as his gig in the Philippines (camp martial arts movie capital) is completed.
The film is packed with plenty of unintentional laughs as a martial arts drug dealing film is toned down to a "Christian" message movie. And just when you think the acting can't get any worse stunt man Ken Moreno appears on the screen reading lines.

This seemed like a strange little kitchen gadget, but as one that appreciates and enjoys strange little kitchen gadgets, I was intrigued.
If you're a minimalist in the kitchen, this mincer is really not for you. It's a specialty item, for sure, and if your kitchen is cramped and small, without a lot of room for different gadgets, this probably isn't for you. That being said, it has a small profile and is easily tucked away.
I was impressed with how sturdy this item was. Putting it together was pretty intuitive, though I did check the directions once or twice. We have solid surface granite countertops, and I was pleased with how well the suction adhered. This little gadget wasn't going anywhere while I was mincing.
Unlike the picture, you can't stick an entire carrot in the mincer and expect it to mince. (That's the only reason I knocked off a star - I feel like the picture is misleading). This thing is dependent on your strength to mince--it's not a powered item--so you have to work pretty hard to get it to mince even large pieces of carrot. It works best when you cut items into smaller pieces. And despite the fact that it's advertised as a carrot mincer, you can mince other items in here as well. I'd stick to veggies, generally.
