It's true you reach a certain time in your life your pantry is always stocked with certain treats and luxuries. Mine are really good chocolate, really nice wines, Mallomars and Estroven. Sometimes I need two sometimes I don't take any at all. Life without them is hot and wet...not it a good way either. (You know itchy, bitchy and twitchy?) Estroven helps with my mood swings and I don't sweat at night as bad but i still do. I still have those waves of electric fire but not as intense or often with estroven. Also I had a complete hysterectomy about 7 years ago. I was taken from the operating room with one of those hormone patches. At that time they were $50 each month.  But after some research i decided synthetic hormones weren't for me and Biodentical or whatever they are called were too pricey. I tried black cohosh, st john's wort and various holistic herbal concoctions. It took about a week and a half before these took full effect and i've used them ever since. These are working so i'll keep buying them as they are a value price wise for me too. I was paying $17 for 28 at my local shopping mart. Free shipping to my door instead of an hour round trip to town, so estroven on amazon is a good deal for me... and those around me. Although my memoryfoam mattress has a right to be peeved.


The Ernie Ball MVP is a great volume pedal. I am used to a Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, which is optical, not controlled by a volume pot. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. For instance, the string that controls the volume pot on the MVP will eventually fray and need to be replaced. Likewise, the pot itself may go bad over time – hopefully not during a live show!
The optical is certainly more reliable, but I’ve noticed that the sweep on the Morley is not as smooth as the sweep on the MVP. There are advantages and disadvantages to this as well. For instance, the Morley is great for cello-like single note attacks. The MVP is far better (IMHO) for ambient swells. I use ambient swells in the church setting where I play, almost like giving the keyboard player a break when he/she is covering more piano parts and we need the added pads.
The MVP, like the Morley, has a minimum knob which allows you to set a lower volume in the toe up position. Personally, I have never used this feature as I prefer to do swells from no volume to full volume. That being said, I can see where this feature would be very helpful before OR after your drives. Before the drives you could use it to adjust gain/distortion levels – after the drives you could use it as an overall volume boost. The MVP also has the added feature of a decibel boost knob. This is great, especially in conjunction with the minimum knob, or by itself if you need the added gain. Personally, I don’t use this feature as well but I can still see the added benefit.
What is also nice about this pedal is the fact that it is buffered/powered (9v). So, if you use the tuner out (as I do) you don’t lose high end frequencies. In other words, it doesn’t suck your tone.
All in all, this is a great volume pedal and I have it secure on my pedal board. I won’t say that I’m not apprehensive about the string eventually fraying and breaking, because I am. However,it is especially smooth and works most excellently for ambient volume swells. Definite five stars from me!


Good price for very good product.  There are some dregs, but the skinless fillets are very tasty and just what I need.  I use half a can on a folded slice of bread for breakfast.  The best way to get omega 3's, protein, and fiber.  I add a touch of accent, mayo and hot sauce or pepper to enhance flavor.  yum.


I have two of these - one in my bag for the field and one with gun gear at home.  They're great.  I have others as well, but this one is better than the synthetic stuff, looks better with upland guns laying on it than those big box brand pads do... Takes all kinds of brands of stuff to maintain guns I guess - but Boyt gear is reasonably prices and quality gear.


I rather liked them. I wouldn't go as far as to say I would kill for them like I would for Pretzel Crisps, but I would hide them behind other products to come back and buy later, I don't but if I had to I would.
I like that they are more sweet than other oreo cookies, but I wish they had more stuffing. I kind of wish that for all oreo cookies though.
PLUS
-Great taste, sweet
MINUS
-Hard to find. They are deleted (I work at Walmart part time so I know the company is not making them again unless like 2 million people write in requesting it) so if I fall in love with them I will never get them again
-Not enough stuffing
-Go stale faster than normal oreos, odd right?


It's pretty, but I didn't realize it was a "silk" type material. I was expecting it to be a cotton blend. It is very easy to put on, and it does look nice. BE PREPARED TO IRON IT as soon as you receive it!! No way would I put it on my bed in the condition it was in after removing from the package. It was so wrinkled and messy.. but it ironed easy and hangs very nice on our bed. I can't use a standard skirt as we have a type of platform bed, so this hangs nicely over the rail. I am unable to use the foot section due to our bed style, but you can't tell with our bed as the headboard goes to the ground. So this skirt system works wonderfully for use with platform beds or beds with side rails.


This is the first multi effects pedal ive used that doesn't sound digital. I'm able to get realistic tone that can at the very least sound as good if not better than any analog boutique pedal. the tube makes all the difference.


WOW! I clocked my 8 lb Chihuahua at 53 seconds with the other bowl I purchased. It also was supposed to be a slow feeder. I held out little hope that nothing but hand feeding this dog would slow her down.    I reluctantly purchased this bowl after reading the reviews but was alarmed at how huge it was when I opened the box. I give the dog 1/4 cup twice daily. Its like 30 pieces of food, rolling around in this huge bowl. Then I gave it a whirl.    After watching her failed attempt to 'dive right in' like she used to, she started to wander around the bowl. She walked left then right, used her tongue, shoved her tiny snout in between the plastic parts, snorted, sucked, walked in circles. IT WAS GREAT.    Her final eating time? 8 MINUTES. Like I said, amazing. If I were to calculate return on investment, it would be 800%. I am impressed and pleased. My dog isn't, which makes it more fun than ever!


Free product provided for evaluation and review. I received the pink version.  This organizer has a hanger that allows it to be hung up, or, if you want to roll it up, then the hanger turns in so that it forms a nice roll. It holds anything I'd need for a trip, and when it is hung up, it is very easy to see where everything is at a glance. It has nylon zippers and multiple sizes of compartments.  The very bottom has a net in case one needs to put something wet or that needs to air in the organizer.  It holds fairly large bottles and tubes.  There's one compartment that is long, and it is good for brushes and pencils.  The next row has 3 divided pockets and the top row has multiple small pockets.  It has belts around it, so that when you roll it up, you can belt it, which makes it very easy to put in a gym bag or suitcase. Really the only thing about it that I do not care for is the big WODISON logo across the top, but that's a minor thing.  Images pending.


This is an incredible story. Jeff Hobbs has written a superb work of non fiction that works on so many levels. This is an American Tragedy ... a gifted young man, desparately trying to escape the throes of poverty. Mr. Peace was Mr. Hobbs' college roommate at Yale so this tale is very personal to him. I found myself thinking of "The Wire" and how hard it is for a young black man to escape the street. OUTSTANDING READ!!


compared to other similar products it was well priced with good reviews.  The fit is perfect and if doesn't fell like it is going to easily fall off (and hasn't).  If you are in need of an affordable way to diffuse the flash then this is a great fit.


Science X Crystals and Gemstones Activity Kit
(Ravensburger, 2013)
. . .
A nice simple, budget-line science kit for kids interested in gems, crystals and minerology. Among the twenty experiments detailed in the instructions are a couple of crystal-growing projects, which are always fun. Perhaps the best of these is one where you grow your own "geode" inside an artificial plaster shell, although you will want to take you time and be sure to cast the plaster with care - it's not the most durable material. This kit stands out for the variety and breadth of experiments it offers -- it's not just another crystal-growing set, but also includes numerous gem and mineral samples and various ways of testing their composition, strength and density. The wide scope of the set is its strong point, while it loses points for the stinginess of the materials included... The samples are small, the materials not always the best. Kids who are already into rocks and science in general might be able to make better use of the activity book is they provide their own materials, particularly if they already have a stronger, higher quality magnifying glass than the one Ravensberger provides. All in all, though, this is a nice kit with some real science and decent experiments -- worth checking out!


Gorilla glue, the mighty ape! Could be used for something in guerrilla warfare.
Gorilla, this is a great alternative to DuPont modeling glue. I be used it to set various stuffs, I didn't want to through away, handles on momento cups, I don't use. But still wanted fixed.
Securing magnet to back of a key holder for door key. I just got dentures, BUT WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR USE AS A TEMP DENTURE PASTE. Unless to repair broken denture tooth, not fastening to roof of mouth.
I've had disastrous attempts to superglue.
And doesn't keep well after opening, though does stick to everywhere.
Gorilla glue, is easily wiped off with warm cloth, or glued piece filed for cleaner look.
When you need it to be tough, but easier to work with.


I'd give this five stars if it were a bit more intuitive, but then, I'm not a regular user of this type of device.
WARNING -- PUT A COPY OF THE MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE
When the manual (one sheet of paper printed on both sides) gets lost, I will have trouble remembering how to use this device, so I guess I should find a copy of a manual online and put it in my favorite places. Good advice for any purchaser who might lose things like I do.


This may be a small backpack, but it's made of the same quality standards as the larger versions. The backpack has a semi-firm padding on the back panel to give cushion between books and the back. The zippers are well made and firmly situated in the backpack. The zipper pulls, which look like little pencils, are thick rubber - easy to pull and they don't get too hot or too cold to the touch when there are weather extremes. My only criticism is that the bottom of the backpack has zero padding. This means that books or electronics will get damaged over time every time this bag is put on the ground. Rolling up a washcloth on the bottom helps, but it can shift around and built-in padding would have been preferred. Our youngest granddaughter is in love with owls and obsessed with waltzing around the house with her big sister's backpacks - so now she's got her very own. It fits her well and she is in love with it. There are two zippered compartments that are well lined. This is nicer than any backpack I had when I was in grade school - very well built.


I have two pad trained Maltese. They use these, as well as a 'grassy' indoor potty. The male prefers pads.
The nice thing about these is they are easy to shake open. Most users of pads know what I mean, as doing the quick one-handed shake to open a fresh pad is something most of us have done. No shifting of the insides when shaking to unfold.On the other hand, a came across a few that had some sort of adhesive on them, rendering a couple of them useless.
So, my take is that they are decent economy pads, but the company has a slight quality control issue.
UPDATE: Opened a new pack, and the 'filling' isn't centered. So make that a more-than-slight quality control issue.


Love love love my George Foreman grill. Makes cooking super easy and quick. No need to spend all day long in the kitchen. I cook everything from burgers, steaks, panini's, and bbq on my grill. Lit has a nonstick surface so cleanup is easiest if you clean it while it's still hot. Worth every penny!


I have both Iphone and Ipod touch and when I work out, I use my IPOD and I used to charge it up with USB but now I just put it on the clock and it charges. I can also play the music and wake up to the music. It has a back up battery for a power shortage and it will even sync your Iphone and the time on the clock. The music is clear and not fuzzy. It's small and looks very sleek. What a great product! I love it!


I have two cats who use the two litter boxes I have a lot - it seems like I am always scooping out their litter boxes. Because of this, I go through a lot of kitty litter and have tried many brands. For the most part, I am very happy with Cat's Pride Fresh and Light Kitty Litter. While this is only twelve pounds of kitty litter as opposed to the fourteen pounds I usually use, there is more than enough litter for a litter box. The litter is easy to pour and pretty much dust free - I didn't see any dust while I was pouring it. The kitty litter has a nice light scent that isn't overwhelming but does a good job of masking odors - my cats use their litter boxes so much that they can get quite smelly at times but with this kitty litter I don't notice any odor at all. The litter is very easy to scoop up after my cats have done their thing, which is great because my cats do their thing a lot! The one thing I don't like is how much litter is ending up outside the litter box. My cats seem to like this litter so I am thinking it might be too light. Whatever the issue is, it means I am vacuuming the room where the litter boxes are twice as often as I have to when using other kitty litter :-(


This speaker has excellent sound for the price. It is nice and clear with little distortion. The sound is nicely equalized, and there is plenty of volume even though the speaker lacks an independent volume control. (Volume must be adjusted via your device.)
I have had few issues with connectivity, although my Motorola Droid sometimes does not play well with this device. (I have had no issues connecting my Droid to other bluetooth speakers and headphones.) While it does not connect with the ease of some speakers I have used, it is also not a major inconvenience. Sometimes I have had to try several times before it will connect.
Battery life is decent, and this will work for half a day on a single charge using it at full volume.
Bottom line: This unit has excellent sound for the price, but there are better options. For example,


We really liked this.  We eventually had to take it out of the crib, around 12 months because my daughter would play with it and not sleep.  She quickly figured out how to turn it on and off.  I have no idea why it has a remote, we never used it until my kid figured it out and enjoyed it.  Eventually we strapped it on the back of a dining room chair and she played with it until about 20 months, when I decided I couldn't bear to hear the music anymore and finally took it down.  She loved turning it on and dancing to the music. She was far less interested in the moving parts.  I can't find the remote now, so good thing we never used it.  I'm going to pass it on to another family who can listen to the same songs OVER AND OVER.  I've seen the complaints about the strap.  I had the same issue too and thought it was defective, but I figured out how to adjust the back of the toy so it fit around the crib rail appropriately and then tighten it.  I can't tell you exactly what I did that fixed it, but once I got it situated correctly I had no problems with it easily coming undone.  So before giving up, trying moving things up and down and changing how it sits, you may find it just needed some adjustment.  Of course, if you feel it's a risk, don't use it at all.


I suppose these are OK in build quality, but the audio quality isn't great.  I think they could be better for the price.


Bought this because I needed to regulate the size of my ground beans more effectively than an automatic grinder does.  Definitely takes a lot of arm power, which makes for an excellent workout.  Allot plenty of time to grind enough beans for a cup - even more for a pot.  Ceramic mill portion heats up well, so avoid touching it until it has time to cool.  Grinder is effective and the storage base is nice.  Love the rubberized bottom sleeve.  Helps keep the unit in place on the table as you grind.


This quick release plate was inexpensive but fits and works as well as the original plate. This brand is proving to be reliable.


Really nice utility belt. Love the metal buckle.
I am using it for a holster and mag pouch and it works very well.
Adjustment is very quick.


The scale came in with battery installed and ready to go. I mention this because some reviews for other scales said that the battery went dead within a month after being used and put away. This scale had to be in transit for over 3 weeks and was probably on a shelf before that, so the battery doesn't appear to drain during storage. I tried it out and it said a bag was 26+ lbs. I weighed that same bag on a doctors office type balance beam scale and it measured 29+ lbs. Close enough. I figure that any weight this scale measures, I can add about 5 lbs to be safe. I was only going to give this 4 stars due to the slight inaccuracy, but decided that for this type of item, it is very well within expectations and the slight inaccuracy was just being too picky, so I went with the 5 stars. Just an FYI - it uses a CR2032 coin battery.


I got a new rebuilt computer with windows 7 32 bit ...I installed all my Sims plus the 3 I didn't have:University,Into the Future and Paradise. I continually crash and my computer will not save.


This battery is used in the Arris TM822 internet and telephone modem.
.
The battery is very reliable. It has operated without fail for the past 1.5 years.


good original product, good quality original cartridges whenever I spend the replacement for original brand to greater confidence in a couple of times try to recharge my printer cartridges and it was disappointing because it is not satisfied and dripping ink cartridges is that the original hp are expensive but it is preferable to make the effort to buy new package.


This lens took a 4 foot drop from the back of my SUV and bounced hard on concrete three times. I picked it up, horrified by what I might find. Not only did the lens still work perfectly but there wasn't a scratch on it. The lens hood has a single small scuff mark but that was all. A lens that can take this type of a beating without so much as a scratch deserves a review.
Pros:
- This lens and the 50mm 1.8g are arguably the best value lenses that Nikon makes. The $100 instant rebates Nikon has been having on this lens recently make it a steal!
- Super, ridiculously sharp from 1.8
- Focus is silent, fast, and spot on with my D7000
- Beautiful bokeh
- 99% of the $1500 85mm 1.4G for 1/3 of the price.
- Override manual focus with a touch.
- Includes lens hood
- Perfect portrait lens for DX or FX.
Cons:
- Made from durable, bounce off the concrete proof plastic instead of metal. Not sure if this is really a con.
I sold my $1000+ Nikon 85mm 1.4D and have never looked back. That lens focused slower, less accurate, and wasn't quite as sharp at 1.8. The only thing better about the 85 1.4D was that it was a hunk of solid metal and this lens is durable plastic. My pictures with the 1.8G are just as beautiful as the 1.4D. I don't regret selling the more expensive lens for one second after my experience with amazing lens.


Our 8 yr. old daughter wanted this so much for Christmas. She couldn't have it at the time because of the absurd price Amazon had it but... thanks to Amazon's independent sellers, we were able to obtain a 'like new' copy which was indeed 'like new' for a fraction of what the game is currently listed at.  To make this short, this game is over in a couple of hours. Our little girl finished it in one evening playing together with a visiting friend. They liked it while it lasted because they could learn what planning a wedding could be like: they had to go to the music store, stationary store, book a venue, visit a boutique an so forth. But... there's not much to do other than picking items from a list while the game keeps track of things done and things to do. Once ready, there's the ceremony where your DS lets you take pictures to share with friends. If a fellow DS owner happens to be nearby, you can exchange wedding gifts with them - and that's okay because, magically, the gifts you give them don't disappear from the inventory. It's all over quickly.  There should be some replay value because there are several preset brides you can work for: lawyer, actress, designer, photographer, veterinarian... and you can do a custom bride but in practice our girl didn't feel like playing it again with a different bride and I don't believe she'll play the game ever again.  If it was for me, I'd give this game a 2 stars for "I don't like it" but the person who actually played it said it was 'OK' and that's 3 stars are for.


Hadn't picked up the cello in years and this got the bow up to speed quickly.  Applications are infrequent and the round design + cloth makes it easy to use.


What a waste of my money. All three were dead on arrival. Not one of them was good. right out of the box all three had my printer alarming with low ink alert, I was lucky to get maybe 25 copies from each. Don't waste your time and money on this product. buy new instead.


Did not like the toppings, little or no flavor. Used regular table salt, much better. I think I could have gotten a better bargain by just purchasing the popcorn and using canola oil.


This is one of my favorite movies & in my opinion the best Keanu Reeves movie (along with Point Break) & I loved the actor who played Bill. It is totally funny, random & educational, with good values placed on getting a good grade in school.  Although, I wish they would have been obsessed with the old Van Halen instead of Van Hagar & that their "Wild Stallions" band would have played real rock n roll.
Funny, great, non stop action comedy.  I highly recommend this to add to any blu ray collection!


Our previous grill cover cracked badly after a few years, so I was eager to try this new one.  It fits my grill perfectly.  Unfortunately I am unable to use the hook loops with the way my grill is designed, but I haven't had any issues so far with it becoming loose.
The quality of the material is high, and is advertised as being crack-free.  The black color should do well to hide stains.  I expect this cover to last many years.


This is the best picture quality of any TV I have had. It is a 4K TV and even though there isn't any 4K content yet without getting movie on a hard drive and paying out the nose. This Samsung upscales the content up and it looks pretty darn great. Noticeably sharper then others that I looked at. The sound is also very good. There are plenty of smart features and internet hookup without having any external devices like Roku, Apple TV. Upconverts any source inputted. Samsungs latest backlighting technology.
I bought the TV for the picture quality not really for the 3D. Most of the smart features are just extra pluses.
It does a decent job of upscaling the HD content, but remember it is trying to upscale from HD to near 4K and the information is just not there for it to do real 4K. It, for the lack of better terms, makes a guess on what 4K should be. That withstanding it does guess well, and will offer a better picture than standard HD, just not UHD so expect that. Samsung isn't talking about what the specs are for the up scaling at the time of this review.
Pros:
1. Excellent color and sharpness. Also controls to can easily adjust the picture to any way you wish (moe color saturation, less saturation, sharpness, brightness, etc) Lots of smart features I am still learning.
2. Excellent sound upgrade from standard HD Samsungs. For the price it should have good sound huh.
3. Watching Lord Of The Rings On This Will Make You Cry
4. 3D works great and comes with four sets of glasses.
Cons:
1. Dialog box pops up telling you that you can use voice controls. This is very distracting and I don't need the a dialog box on the TV to pop up to tell me this. Its in the instructions booklet. It doesn't happen very often- but it is annoying. You can disable this but it takes some time to dig through the screens until you are there.
2. Heavier than standard HD versions of Samsungs, like the 8000.Good info for those mounting on wall.
3. No Content to justify early adopter purchase price.
4. Friends watching Lord Of The Rings (Also crying picture is so good) begain plotting to take "Precious" from us.
There is just nothing to watch right now and the prices of these 4K sets are going to drop at least another 500 just like when the HD sets came on the scene. Plus the 4k technology will most likely get better when they decide just how the content is going to be implemented. On the upside Samsung uses what they call a Hub or One Connect box so if content inputs get better you can just replace the hub box instead of kicking yourself that you have to get a new set.
I tried the Netflix 4K streaming and it's a mixed bag at this stage. Some of the nature documentaries look like 4K and some look more like 1080P.
The UHD dvd players are coming so if you have this Samsung you will be ready from day one. I think even the xbox is going to offer 4k content when connected. Does have a superior picture than non UHD tv's. Its just gonna cost ya a little more brother. I had to have it. I couldnt wait. My current tv died on me and I had to do something. The only thing I could rationalize, being addicted to great new technology, was to go into debt to feed my habit. I am so ashamed at my weakness.
In all seriousness:
My suggestion is if you must have the latest 4k tech then here it is. Much better than Sony especially with their no customer service. The LG's do look good, just not this good.
UPDATE 4-25-2014
Ok there has been a big controversy on whether this model comes with a one connect box or not. You get a different story everywhere. Found a Samsung training representative who spent two hours educating me on every 4k tv on earth and what was what. One Connect; 2013 version of this model had the external One Connect box. 2014 version of this model has internal One Connect with no external box. When One Connect technology is updated you can get the external box and it overrides the internal to keep everything cutting edge. He said samsung is supporting One Connect for a guaranteed four years to guard against your tv becoming obsolete. I asked him about the 1080p to 4k upscaling. He said yes it does a good job at kicking up standard HD better than Sony or LG, but if you want to see something great, get a 4K bluray player, then he drug me around to show what it could do. It was very impressive. He shared a story about the 9000 which requires an external One Connect box to opperate as all the technology is in the box and the tv is basically a monitor, said stores all over the place are misplacing the boxes when they move a tv and have all these dead big screens everywhere.This TV is a keeper.

Good product, but very strong, so a little goes a long way. So even though it is a small bottle, it will last you a while. Good price, and packaged well.


For moving, storage or utility purposes one can always go to the local grocery or liquor store and get plenty of free boxes... if you catch them at the right time. But unless you know someone there, chances are that you'll end up with a motley mess of varying size cartons that may or may not suit your needs.
A personal fAVorite for general, casual storage are these . They'rs also available in packs of 5, 8, 12, 15 or 20, but do a quick math check to see which quantity fits your needs and cost per box.
If you check the product page, at the time of this review, you'll see that these cartons are available in large, medium and small sizes, along with with a small/medium kit. This review is on the SmoothMove Classic Moving Boxes, Small, 15 x 12 x 10 Inches, Pack of 10, which is the size and quantity that I've used most frequently
◆ Likes:
+ 15x12x10-inch small size boxes after assembly; convenient and multi-purpose
+ Lift-off lid, has easy to carry handles at each end; no tape required
+ Double end double bottom construction; offers strength for heavy-duty moves and storage
+ Good for general household items, kitchen & bathroom goods; excellent for paper files
+ Easy set-up construction; lid ships attached to prevent lid loss, tears off for use
+ Made from strong 32 ECT C-Flute Kraft corrugated board; reusable and recyclable
+ Construction: 75% post-consumer recycled material content
+ Uniform size; stackable five-high or more depending on weight of contents
◆ Dislikes
- None at all; have reordered this size and quantity
The above items list the subjective high points of these reusable cartons. For this reviewer, it's the uniformity of the size that matters most, as they can be easily stacked. Depending on the weight of the contents, these 15x12x10-inch cartons can be easily stacked five or six high with little danger of toppling. There's a section below the handle opening at the end of each box where you can note the contents of each, which is highly suggested.
When I received my first order as an Amazon Vine selection, I wondered how easy they were to put together. As that turned out, it was only the first one that seemed slightly tricky, and once done it all made sense. Assembly is easy, and the directions are printed on the bottom of each box. Just follow the numbered steps and all should go just fine.
Hints: though no tape is needed, if you plan to use these for storage, you may wish to put a small strip of standard 1.88" to 2" wide packaging tape over the handle openings. That should be enough to keep out any small critters that may reside in your storage area. And of course it's not advisable to store any foodstuffs other than canned goods in these cartons. Enough said on that.
These Bankers Box SmoothMove Classic Moving Boxes are an excellent choice for moving and storage of your paper files, magazines, books, general household items, kitchen & bathroom goods. Just pick the size that best suits your personal needs, but remember that cartons can become heavier than you expect, especially with books and paper. The best part is that these uniform-sized boxes are very stackable, and can be used over and again.

This was a perfect replacement for a failed peltier in my wine cooler. I can't believe I'd left the cooler broken for almost 2yrs before I realized that a replacement cooler was only a few dollars.
Please note that if you plan on replacing a peltier in an existing device you will need some thermal paste to ensure a solid thermal connection is made between the peltier and the heat sinks. All you need is a small amount spread thinly and evenly across the surface, an old credit card works well.
Without thermal paste my cooler was only able to get down to 65 degrees (room temp 78), but once I applied the paste the cooler is now able to maintain a steady 54 degrees.


Very well built, relatively heavy but also sturdy and nice looking watch. It's not colorful and does not beg for attention. Also, very accurate.


Collecting: X-Men (2013) #18-22
In the previous adventure, , the all-female X-Men's adventure was rooted firmly on planet earth.  In this book, the ladies are in space.  Earth's space based defense agency (SWORD) is under attack after Deathbird is rescued.  A crazy group of gene-splicing aliens called the Providian Order have made custom bad guys out of Brood and Skrull warriors. They will stop at nothing to take Deathbird back with them.
The Providian Order's minions aren't the only ones hunting Deathbird.  The Shi'ar become unlikely allies of the X-Men as Rachel Grey's family history collides with that of one of Shi'ar counselors.  I was glad to see Rachel's past getting a little more development in these issues because she is a strong character.
These issues create a self-contained story, so readers can pick this volume up without reading the prior episode and they won't have to wait until the next installment for the conclusion.  This all-female has a great line up that includes Storm, Psylocke, and Rachel Grey, And the 'all-female' angle seems to promise something different for an X-team.  Unfortunately, the all-female team engages in pretty run-of-the-mill superhero adventures.  That is to say, while the premise of an all-female casts promises something unique, this comic delivers a pretty standard plot.
If you like X-Men and especially if you like X-Women, this volume will appeal to you.  There is plenty of action and outer space excitement.  I keep waiting for that 'something special' that really defines a female x-team, but I never quite get it.  I will continue following this series because I really enjoy the characters and the idea behind the group has tremendous promise.  The next adventure for this X-team can be found in


Best light for the dollar...should buy rechargeable batteries as this light uses a different battery than the normal ones


Very good for a quick vegan meal, and cheap. The lemon flavor can be a little overpowering but it is not home made so it is good as it can get.


Two cats like it sometimes; other times, they turn up their damp little feline noses. Who knows what they really want??? But it is a good product that has excellent protein sources.


I have a Char-Broil grill and bought this as a complement for it. It has been a dutiful protector of the grill.
It fits well, has a drawstring at the bottom and keep water from the grill well.


I am very satisfied with this purchase. I use it every time I ride and can' t imagine a ride without it.


It's good for its price. Not very good finish but works fine. I also taped it on my table so it doesn't tip as additional protection from kids. But it seems to balance fine when it wasn't taped yet.


Really a quality umbrella, I am very happy with the material and the frame. I expect it to last me a very long time.  It is a little bit too long and heavy for an everyday just-in-case umbrella to carry, but it is nice to keep in my trunk for heavier rain than my travel umbrella can handle. The curved handle is nice because if the weather clears up I can hook it to the handle of my backpack on my walk home, leaving my hands free.  I have carried this umbrella in winds that would have turned other umbrellas inside out, and stronger winds than what bent the steel frame of my previous umbrella.


I didn't realize how much my son (now 5 months) would enjoy this gym! He has loved looking up at the lights and the mirror since about 4-5 weeks old. As he has grown, he's enjoyed playing with all the hanging toys. I've added other toys using links and have also found the gym useful for tummy time.
There is a soft and a loud setting for the music (which really isn't too obnoxious), but I especially like that you can set the "nature sounds" to soft, and the lights will still go without having to listen to music if you don't want to. I would definitely recommend this item for new babies!


The ZAQ Dew Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser is a fun, modern way to eliminate the odors in your home.  The simple sleek design is very eye catching and setup took only a few minutes.  Pull the diffuser out of the box, fill with water from the measuring cup provided, add 3-4 drops of scented oils (not provided), plug it in, push the button, and presto! --  your house is smelling fantastic!  I had a few friends over right after I got the diffuser and they loved the fact that it changed colors and were instantly intrigued by the design. The device has an auto shutoff (when it runs out of water) as well and you can also adjust it so that it will scent but not have the light. The only thing I do warn about is that unless you are trying to do a quick coverup of your stinky kitchen, perhaps only use 2 drops of oil and be sure to put the machine away from any food.  The first few times I ran the diffuser I set it on the kitchen table and, while eating a quick snack, I found myself being a bit overwhelmed by the scent. After moving it to a different spot and adding a little less oil, I find that it works much better.
I love scented products and have used many different types for creating that ambiance and atmosphere throughout my home. This one adds moisture to dry air as well, which is especially great during the winter months. This diffuser would make a lovely gift.


My puppy loves anything chewable, and prefers textured items.  These are a hit, and big enough to last her for a few months (if she doesn't beat it  up too much- so far, so good).


This is my first time using Stayfree brand pads. I'm an "Always" girl. However, these pads were actually pretty good. They are soft and absorbent and stay in place well. Not quite as absorbent as my Always pads, but they are just as comfortable, if not more so.
These are great pads and the price is pretty good and I like that they have wings and are thin yet protective enough to feel confident that you're not going to spring a leak.  I can recommend them in good conscience, however, I think I will stick to my Always pads.


Outdoor temperature reading stopped working. This is the second clock like this I've had and the first still works ok. Replacing the batteries didn't help the outdoor reading. The clock still shows indoor temperature and time but the time was changing to an incorrect value until I changed the batteries in the clock. I would give the first clock five stars because it still works ok but this one not so much.


I have used this fan in several builds. It is very stable and keeps the CPUs cool enough. Does the job at a low price.


This 'Hot Shot No Pest Strip' works as advertised killing flying and crawling insects without any chemical smells.
In my area, the hot weather is always perfect for the 'mozzies' which is of course, food for house lizards.
The 'Hot Shot No Pest Strip' keeps the bugs away, so, starved for food, the house lizards soon disappear.  This is a great bonus!
I have one 'Hot Shot No Pest Strip' hanging in my toolshed and another in my laundry/utility room. (Both areas qualify as non-living areas - less than 4 hours per day occupation).
So far, both areas have been free of 'mozzies', 'creepy crawlies' and house lizards!
Hope my review was helpful ... Jeffrey A. (Jeff)


This comes in new retail condition just like it looks in the picture with a hose attached.  I had to use this brand a long time ago and it worked great.  Have never had need for one again, and it will only work on the slow leak type flats and obviously not the tire blowouts that are actually more common on trucks over the road.  but it never hurts to have it around in the tool box in the back of the truck just in case.


Talk about an instant hit, when Harley our Old English Bulldog took one look at this ball it was love at first site - along with first bite. At 95 pounds Harley makes mince meat out of most dog toys in a matter of seconds so we tend to rely on toys made specifically for aggressive chewers such those by Nylabone, Kong, Orbee and a few others.
Our younger Bull Dog Elvis is more "stick crazy" but Harley has been a natural born soccer player going on eight years. What's especially nice about this ball is due to the deep indentation around the circumference he has no problem carrying it round.
Since we took it out of the box a week ago - just like an American express card he rarely leaves home without it!
He carries it out side an schleps it back in the house covered with mud which is wonderful when you have white carpet.
He snoozes next to it and insists I throw out my back heaving him onto the bed with his beloved Chuck it! clenched in his teeth like a big fat orange stogie.
Simply put - he adores it.
Surprisingly the ball has held up beautifully. Usually most of the toys we buy for these guys end up looking like road kill in a matter of days. I had some concern over the material not holding up but this is one well made dog toy.
It's survived merciless games of tug-O-war between the two dogs and although there are puncture marks neither has been able to rip the ball apart.
* Great Design Is Easy For Dogs To Carry
* Made Like Iron - Holds Up To Aggressive Chewers
* Great Bounce
* Solid Rubber Core
* Terrific Distance When Kicked
* Provides Sensational Exercise
* Top Quality Materials
* Well Made And Made To Last.
In fact I just ordered another one of these and one of the Chuck It! Tug-O-War balls . Simply a sensational, well made dog toy. Highest recommendation.
5 Paws Up!


I had to remove the 2 glass globes to install this fixture.  They're held in place by a threaded plastic nut which screws onto the ceramic bulb socket.  One threaded fine- the other kept getting cross-threaded and turning because the ceramic piece had not been tightened into the fixture.  I was on the verge of returning it when I finally discovered that and was able to tighten the ceramic piece into the fixture and get the nut threaded on.  WHAT A NIGHTMARE!


***SPOILER ALERT***
Small-town auto mechanic George is a well-liked but simple man. His life is forever altered when late one night he steps outside and a brilliant flash of light endows him with exceptional brain power, increasing his capacity for and retention of knowledge and gifting him with psychokinetic abilities.


Blue color is funky looking, but despite it standing out, the birds left it alone. I was impressed.
Ground was scored with a metal rake only, seed scattered by hand.
I watered every other day (when it hadn't rained - April in NC) and it germinated in just under two weeks, mowed the yard a week later and it held up.


With several cars and a bunch of tech gear, this thing is the the last resort, to catch an item when my other mounting hardware is full or not a good fit. I widened to notch that's made for a smart phone, and can even use it for a GPS unit.


MIne came with a nice green synthetic collar extending about 8" down from the metal head to protect from scuffing and overstrikes.  I have used this to clear my yard and garden of St. Augustine grass, small volunteer trees, and many other undesirables.  This tool is the perfect blend of power and weight for me, for 90% if my yard excavation work.


I love it.  I'm mobile and go everywhere with my pocket camera.  It is inexpensive, and easy to carry in the bag.


The full sized HTC One was one of my favorite new mobiles of the year. It was solid in the way that Apple hardware is solid and no one else is. But the screen was just a bit big for me and I couldn't reach all the way cross the screen. I traded in the larger one for this one. I lost some cash but got a phone that I really love the size.
Everything about this phone is perfect except it's not the screamer that the full sized One is. Expect a bog down here or there on heavy processes-- that being said, it's a great phone once configured and updated and I'm happier with this than almost all other android options today.


I contract for the DoD, and needed a versatile hat that could support everything I needed.
I was a little skeptical about the velcro adjuster but so far its held up.
This is also a bit more stout than a lot of operator hats, i like that.


This is probably a better headset for someone with smaller features. The size of the over-the-ear loop tends to pull the speaker out of my ear.  I can remove the clip, but I'd prefer my headset not be on the verge of falling to the ground.
The on/off switch is small and rigid, but is easy enough to manipulate. The volume button is a single rocker type, but is small enough to be difficult to manipulate consistently.
Sound from incoming voice is impressive and I have heard no complaints from the people I've called about the quality of the signal they receive. Though the HK250 is capable of streaming media audio, I'm not impressed by its music acoustic qualities; the feature ranks as mere gimmick on monaural devices, though I applaud the Bluetooth specification which enables it since, being a speaker it may as well play back media audio - it's convenient.
My favorite thing about the HK250 is the spoken audible cues; connection status, battery level, the phone number of the incoming calls and a subtle "double-blip" which indicates when the call recipient picks up the line.
The finish is unappealing. I thought there was a thin, transparent piece of protective plastic to peel off the surface, but there's not. The plastic face readily shows finger smudges.
Overall, this is fine for smaller ears. It has exceptional voice quality for an earpiece at its price. It can pair up with multiple devices at the same time. The range is exceptional; the connection remains through several walls, from one side of the house to the backyard at the other end. I can use the charger from another brand of earpiece [the connector that looks like a mini HDMI plug] to charge the HK250 as well.


Rather than buying a large package of pens, I like to give them a try first.  My first Atlantis pens came in a pack of three and I loved them at first try.  I'm kind of a nut when it comes to pens as I like to have one everywhere;  purse, kitchen, bedroom side table, living room all bathrooms, garage, etc.  The Bic Atlantis Retractable is a economical pen for my needs.  It has a very nice feel when writing and the ink flows smoothly without any skips or globs.  The outside coating is easy to grip and hold and with just the right thickness for comfort.  It produces a nice thin writing line that's easy to produce and read.  It's got my vote.


Very happy with this chain for my Husquavarna 450  Shipping was fast and I was satisfied enough with chain, price and service, to purchase 2 more.
It does the job


This headboard is very attractive and very well made!  Just what we were looking for and looks great with matching night tables!


Great price $150 and super fast shipping.  This thing is big and wicked cool.  My kid climbs all over it.  It does feel a little unstable at the top.  It says it can handle up to 150 lbs. but I wouldn't want to test that claim.  If you set it up outside, be sure to buy some anchors for it because it is not real heavy and a strong gust of wind will blow it over.


its as same as picture, good qaulity, the color its beautiful, it perfect, i love it, its that i expected


I have filled these with hand cream for our long cold winter - perfect for an occupation that requires constant hand-washing and hand-sanitizing.
Each little GoTubb holds plenty of hand cream for 2-3 weeks, and though each rattles around at the bottom of my small purse/large purse/knitting and book tote, the cover hasn't popped off. The design is really impressive - keeps the product fresh, the lid is very easy to open (but doesn't come off in your bag or pocket), and doesn't seem to gather bag-lint.
Combine a set of these with a favorite hand cream, and you have a perfect gift!


Good quick reads as to ‘how to’ and ‘why’
…be Parisian
…French women don’t get fat
…Mediterranean women don’t get fat
…raise your children in the French fashion
have always been somewhat fun, a bit informative, as well as good conversation with your girl friends.
However…
‘How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are…Love Style and Bad Habits’ is not any of the above.
Among my French friends and acquaintances there is a diversity of style, thought, ethics and morals.
As with any culture, there may be a definite trend in some cases but breaking it down…we are individuals.
My personal opinion:
The Parisian way as depicted in this book is nothing I would wish to emulate, except for a few general points of interest that were no real revelation.
I would not wish to follow in their footsteps, nor would I seek out friends who embraced this often trite, distant, pouting, smoking, on stage (despite the claims not to be) group.


I was a bit concerned as this is a 2 pack of cables for about the same price as one cable. Yes. 2 cables. Yes. work just as well as the other cables. These are great and would buy them again.


This coffee is more of a shock / humor gift for someone than it is a coffee gift.  I say that because this stuff is just okay.  I didn't really notice that this was more effective than typical coffee.
TASTE: If you like a dark coffee, you'll like this.  It's a little harsh though.
SMELL:  It smells a little on the burnt side.
WAKE UP FACTOR: Mediocre compared to it's claim.
PRICE: Too high for what it is.
If you want some coffee that will really wake you up, tastes good, and are will to pay $20 a pound - BUY DEATH WISH!  Death Wish is a much better coffee and REALLY wakes you up.


These little houses are perfect size to keep in the bath, but rather plain.  NOT MINE.  I spray paint them whatever color I am in the mood for, embellish them with self adhesive rhinestones and they look Great.  Get a plunger with a clear handle, embellish it also and hope you never need to actually USE it.  My latest one is Rustoleum metallic silver and for a Plunger House, it is stunning.


If you like running a sweeper, they are just what I needed.  Not my favorite thing but necessary and they came expediently, packaged nicely.  Thanks.


Product as described.
I would order from this seller again.
love it, we have had it now in operation almost two years.
My wife can take a shower for two days straight and never run out of hot water.
She has a huge tub and always fills it up with hot hot water.
would definitely buy this again if the need arises.
Be aware if the power does go out that the thermostat run on electricity, so no hot water if yo have no electricity even though it is run on gas.


I'm starting to sleep train my daughter and was informed white noise is useful.  So I figured this might be a nice bit to use before actually getting a white noise machine.  I like the variety of music and white noise, but there seems to be almost too much going on with this toy. Is it really as soothing as it claims?  As long as my daughter can't actually see the brightly colored elephant and the toys, it's fine.  But she catches a look at it, and it becomes distracting. I rather wish the rings had been left off and softer colors used.  Back to the white noise... is this really white noise or just static? It does not seem to be as sound blocking as other white noise makers I've heard.  The lullabies are fine and white noise is soothing enough, but this almost seems to be a glorified happy-fun-playtime noisemaker.


My family loves Yahtzee so in theory this would be a natural fit for us. In practice that's only partially true. While this is a fun game (and the deck of cards on dice gimmick is actually pretty cool) it's not quite as fun as Yahtzee just because it feels a lot less strategic. Now obviously I know there's a ton of luck involved in Yahtzee but at least that game gives you the ILLUSION of being strategic by deciding where you want to place your roll and what you want to go for. This game gives you a hand and then you have to try to match it - that's just straight-up luck. Not that a game of luck isn't fun, it's just not quite as much fun as another, existing game of luck involving dice. So while this game is slightly innovative and easy to carry around (and also very easy to learn), it's just not enough of an innovation to be worth switching from an existing and already beloved game. I'm sure we'll still bust this set out on occasion but over the holidays, with many family members around we only played a few rounds before switching to something else.


Sized a little looser than I expected, at least around the neck.  It was a decent price and adorable sweater though so I am just going to do custom alter work on it.  I still would recommend.  Medium is usually what fits the dog I got this for but just like with people, sizes don't always run true.


It's smaller and not as well made as my Graco, but for 50 bucks I didn't expect it to be great.  It's was more padded than I expected.  I had it delivered to a friend's home so my daughter had a place to sleep when we stayed there.  Setup was easy, there are velcro tabs to keep the pad attached to the frame, and standard pack n play sheets fit fine.  It's perfectly serviceable.  It doesn't come with all the special parts that the Graco has, two levels, changing station, etc.  I just needed it for a portable crib, and for that purpose it worked just fine.


This product was exactly what I needed - to vent a cabinet.  I would like to point out that the direction of the airflow (inflow or outflow) can be easily changed with a scredriver just by removing the guards and moving them to opposite sides.  It is nice that these fans can be daisy-chained for power - not a benefit to me at the moment but may be useful if I require additional fans in the future.
This fan is very quiet...and has experienced no issues during several months of use.
I commit to come back and update this review after more time (and wear and tear).


These Cheez -it Zings are great. The cheesy flavor is very good but still nice and zippy. The taste creamy and rich which accentuates the kick of the pepper. They are not too salty and while they did leave a little powder on the fingers it is not obnoxious or staining.
These are pretty much the perfect little snack cracker.


Using this immediately cleared my bass drum of any bedsheets blankets or towels highly recommend, been gigging fairly heavily and after 2-3 months the adhesive no longer sticks to my drum, its unnecessary though, the adhesive, sits pretty w/out it


I was impressed with how well made this product is. It is not a cheap, flimsy , bendable caddy but a nicely welded and efficiently planned item. This will be specifically useful for those people with numerous shower products or a family or different genders with different products.
My only negative is to recommend that u check the dimensions of the product too your own shower configuration.  My shower head is the exact measurement to my soap fixture which, had it been even a centimeter higher, would have made this a guest bathroom item.


other spices/ Not even Coriander seeds/ Back to square one for us looking for a 'Flax seed' grinder.... Convenience of this bottom cap is ok - cleaning ease to be tested...
Perfect for Morton's Kosher Coarse salt and usually one twist delivers enough salt -


I regularly choose the Watts line of fittings for my PEX plumbing jobs. The fittings fit snuggly in place, and the crimps always make a perfect seal. I have installed thousands of feet of pipe with the fittings and never had a bad one.


Very nice earings and I am sure she will love them also, Got for Christmas and they are beautiful,  Glad I got them


This seat cover is ideal to use while my dog is in the car with me.  He likes the comfort of the cover and it resists dirt well.  It is pet approved!


My grandson stays with me during the work week.  He has a large head and body and a lot of the baby style hats, etc. do not fit him (in height and head size, he is in the >99%.)  I got this cap hoping that it would fit and it did!
The first day I got it, I was able to use it with the cooling pack as he had whacked his head against a wall while playing and I wanted to put a little cool pack on it .  He loves dogs, so putting the hat on and keeping it on was no problem at all.  It was easy to slip the pack into the area that I wanted to place it in and then we played doggie for a big and then went outside, using the cap as his hat.  He liked it being on - which is half the battle with a little one.
It worked so well for me that my daughter is planning on buying one for her house, too.  It would be nice if the manufacturers came out with a cat version, too.


There's much more afoot here than what get more commonly delivered in the average Pinky/Pinku film (which this is and is not).  With an almost macabre `After-School Special' quality, FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING tries to be about more than the act of sex and/or the glorification of rape (a staple of many similar Japanese films, especially those under the `Female Teacher' label).  One of the characters remarks, by their nature, "guppies make the best of bad situations," and that's not a sentiment normally explored when the pursuit of skin is paramount.  Likewise, HUNTING frankly tries to say something about human nature - not just commenting separately on the roles for the male and female of the species - and it comes in the delivery of a smart script that tries to give some psychological underpinnings to the actions of its various players.
At this point, let me add the noble aside of "Yes, yes, if you're only here for the simulated sex, there's plenty for you to!"
(NOTE: The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary for the discussion of plot and characters.  If you're the kind of reader who prefers a review entirely spoiler-free, then I'd encourage you to skip down to the last two paragraphs for my final assessment.  If, however, you're accepting of few modest hints at `things to come,' then read on ...)
Two students - Kuriyama Daisuke (played by Hajime Ishigami) and Murakami Midori (a girl, Kyoko Ito, looking a bit like a puckish Filipino boy - are skinny-dipping in the academy pool.  Though the audience isn't shown, it's clearly implied that they're more than a bit frisky about the whole affair, and some unseen prankster is shown stealing Midori's school uniform from the poolside where it sits.  However, the next day, rumors persist around the school that Kuriyama raped Midori.  Apparently hoping to preserve her reputation, Midori doesn't come to her young beau's defenses, leaving their teacher Miss Kyoko Sakatani (Yoko Azusa) to push for the boy's possible prosecution.  School breaks before Kuriyama can prove his innocence - though not before he really does stick it to Midori for not defending him - and our cast go their separate ways ... but their story is just beginning.
Kuriyama sulks about a seaside town where he's taken in by a surly shopkeeper and his sultry mistress, and - before you can say one-two-three - he finds himself knee-deep in the weirdest menage a trois this side of Huey, Louie, and Dewey (never a legitimate menage, so far as I know, but a darn clever pun).  What we learn here is that the young man has lived a life exposed to some of deepest, darkest sexual exploitation perhaps known to a young mind, and, despite those circumstances, he's done his best to repress giving in to them at school.  In the greater world outside, however, he eventually succumbs to these hot advances of a kinda/sorta would-be stepmother and earns his stripes amongst this kinky duo.  In the meantime, his school girlfriend Midori finds herself pestered by a curious phone prank who may know more about what really happened back at the pool; and the lovely but naïve Miss Sakatani spends the summer exploring her own sex life with a married man (the rape investigator) with a take-charge attitude.
And, seriously ... that's only half the story!
HUNTING packs an awful lot of narrative into its slim, trim 65 minutes and still manages to deliver up the steamy scenes, some that are conventional lovemaking and others that flitter and flirt with sexual assault, so much so that it becomes impossible to decipher what it might all mean.  Director Junichi Suzuki directs a script from Hiroshi Saito that layers on the heavy insinuation that what's really being exploited here are social role models (i.e. teachers as authority figures; students as hungry for learning and direction; rape case workers as doing what's upright and honorable; etc.).  What becomes increasingly clear isthat the lines between consent versus dissent have grown increasingly blurred in a society prone to `hunting' for real meaning - who am I, what do I want, and how do I go about getting it.
For example, Midori's merry telephone prankster, Tanaka, has his own fetishistic hang-ups (fantasies) which cause him to start and spread the rumors about her being raped, and these essentially spring from his own inability to engage his classmate in a real-world relationship.  When forced to come to terms with them, he unsuccessfully sexually assaults Midori, but their conflict is far from over as we'll eventually see him coaxed toward better results in a scene ripe with allegory (as well as one staged and shot with crisp, near-romantic angles by cinematographer Yonezo Maeda).
But perhaps an even better example involves Miss Sakatani.  As the gallant teacher, she's intent upon putting Kuriyama's world in order, appealing to him in the picture's opening to not drop out of school because of what he insists are rumors of his assault on Midori.  She wants the system to give the boy a chance to be found innocent.  Later in the film - when she realizes he indeed may be - she seeks him out, hoping to make things right.  What ends up happening is the young man rapes her - a startling development - but one not nearly as surprising as her reaction afterward when it appears she's pleased with herself!  Away from her, Kuriyama vomits, coming to grips with what he's become; away from him, Sakatani smiles, content that she's finally made him into what she was led to believe he was.
I hope I haven't spoiled too much of the story here, but, as is often the case when folks explore Pinku films, it isn't so much for the plot as it is the skin.  My only desire in discussing this further - much more than I usually do - is to point out that there was far more being explored here than in the traditional skin flick; and - in whatever small way - that underscored why I'moccasionally drawn to these films.  Too easily, they get dismissed as little more than pornography meant to instill whatever crass value system might be at work in an industry exploiting women for the sum of their body parts; but every now and then one comes along that challenges those biases - almost thumbs its nose at those assumptions - and, as implied by the title HUNTING, the cast and crew were trying something a bit different here.  That deserves to be pointed out.  As is your right, you don't have to agree with the message; as is my right, I'm only challenging others to appreciate the effort.
FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING (1982) is produced by Isao Hayashi for Nikkatsu.  DVD distribution stateside is being handled through Impulse Pictures under its popular "Nikkatsu Erotic Films Collection" imprint.  For those needing it spelled out perfectly, this is a Japanese spoken-language film with English subtitles (no dubbing track available).  As for the technical specifications, it looks and sounds surprisingly solid for its modest age; director Junichi Suzuki should even be commended for incorporating some clever cinematography and curious sound editing choices to add greater depth to what could've otherwise ended up as a bloated, soap-opera-ish story.  As for the special features, the disc is light - it bears only the original theatrical trailer - but the packaging includes some wonderfully informative liner notes by noted expert on Japanese film, Jasper Sharp.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  If you understand the metaphor, then think of FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING as the Merchant Ivory of Pinky porn, with a script so layered and a climax so royally screwed up that Sigmeund Freud probably would've soiled himself trying to decipher the conflicting and conflicted messages.  Still, if your taste is anything from the Nikkatsu Erotic Films Collection, this one will definitely give you something to think about as its chocked full of talent who can actually act, a scriptthat tries to give erudite subtext to the sexuality it explores, and probably the worst `stepmother' figure in the history of film ... or the greatest, depending upon your predilections.
In the interest of fairness, I'm pleased to disclose that the fine folks at Impulse Pictures provided me with an advance DVD copy of FEMALE TEACHER HUNTING by request for the expressed purposes of completing this review.


Works as advertised for the remote control in the Honda Odyssey Entertainment system.  Only needed one out of three so I now have two spares.  The price was reasonable.


These will work great for our youngest boys party. He is always playing with and building all sorts of things. I asked him what he thought of these cards to send out for his upcoming birthday...he thinks they will be 'Cool'. I love finding different and unique cards like these!


Perfect! I bought for guest night table. I'm happy it's not real crystal. Wouldn't want to worry about guests breaking crystal, never mind lead issues. The glass is small but it serves its purpose because you can simply pour more water. I think it adds a beautiful touch to a guest room and an excellent way to show you care, not to mention it's functional! I'm very pleased!


This was purchased as a gift.  It was very much appreciated and is getting a lot of use.  I'm glad I was able to get something that was so needed and wanted.


I love black currant flavored stuff, and this is  no exception. I can't have booze, due to medications, so I treat myself to sparkling drinks now and then. This is GREAT!!  It has a definite black currant flavor, and not TOO sparkly... just right !!  (Goldilocks said so) And, the packaging really is easy to deal with- once the tape is removed, the box is simple to "undo". No drama with unpacking :)


I installed 2 of these subwoofers in my Camaro. It has excellent base. Its also very reasonable priced. I recommend.


These briefs are nice.  The microfiber make them comfortable as well as keep you dry and cool in the summer.  Jockey has always been a favorite brand, however, the new microfiber is hands down...no pun...the best I have worn.  6'1" 255...bought XL.  Fits nicely


This is big, bright and very beautiful. As far as a map of the world goes, I'm thrilled with how this looks. However, it's heavy. For something that needs to be hung up, it's weight made me feel a little uneasy because it's single strap hanging cord. But, it's been fine since installing, so my weight fears seem unfounded.
The magnetic pieces haven't fallen off, as I've heard others have. But, then my kids don't take them off. They love pointing places out, they love looking at it, but haven't felt a need to remove and replace the puzzle pieces.
All in all it is a high quality learning tool. And not just for kids, I've really enjoyed checking out my world with it also!!


This is the best made that I have found for the price it was. Amazon handles their product well.  SW


Compared to my other Whoopie Pie cookbook, this one is user friendly -- at least for the first section of the book. A recipe for the cake is on one page and the suggested filling recipe follows on the next. Of course the user is free to mix-up cakes and fillings but it is nice to have the basics follow in sequential order rather than chapters filled with nothing but cakes and some filled with nothing but fillings so the user must jump from one section to the next.  The book is a paperback so it doesn't lay open flat on the countertop. The use of a cookbook holder might be helpful. The ink color for the recipes and instructions is mercifully, black, so even with the small font size it is relatively easy to read. The paper quality is good and promptly wiped-up spills did not sink in and cause permanent damage. There is a solid index in the back so locating a particular recipe is easy. The measurements are given in grams and ounces. The majority of necessary ingredients are readily available in grocery stores, but golden syrup will require a search.  I made the Carrot Cake Whoopie pie along with the recommended Orange Mascarpone Cream filling. The combination was excellent and I won't hesitate to prepare it again, although I plan to try other varieties.  Recipes included in the Simple and Sweet section of the book are Chocolate with Fluffy Marshmallow filling, Mocha-Orange with Espresso cream filling, Pumpkin with Cream Cheese filling, Strawberry with Strawberry buttercream, Chocolate Chip with Chocolate Marshmallow cream, Carrot Cake with Orange Mascarpone cream, Lemon Cream with Lemon Curd cream, Red Velvet with Old Fashioned buttercream and Salty Caramel with Caramel Swiss buttercream.  Moving into the next few sections of the book the organization starts to drift a bit between icings, glazes, whoopie pie cakes, fillings and buttercreams. Recipes include, Teacake Whoopie, Chocolate icing, Kirsch Swiss buttercream, Rose-Pistachio Whoopie, Rosewater icing, Plain icing, Vanilla Swiss buttercream, Walnut Whip Whoopie, Meringue Whoopie, Chestnut cream, Coconut Cream Whoopie, Coconut Swiss buttercream, Coconut glaze, Raspberry and Nectarine Whoopie, Vanilla Bean cream, Raspberry Sauce, Blackberry Whoopie, Blackberry cream, Blackberry-Geranium sauce, Rhubarb & Custard Whoopie, Roasted Rhubarb, Banana Cream Whoopie, Chocolate Sauce and Shavings, Salty Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Custard Cream.  Recipes for Frozen and Chilled Whoopies where ice cream is used or an accompanying noted filling include, Oatmeal Cookie Whoopie (use vanilla ice cream,) Key Lime Whoopie, frozen Key Lime cream, Chocolate Mint Whoopie and frozen Mint Chip cream. Holiday treats include Christmas Cake Whoopie, Brown Sugar Spice buttercream, Spooky Halloween Whoopie, Easter Egg Whoopie and Multicolored Buttercreams.  Completely puzzling, at this point the book abandons its subject -- Whoopie Pies --and includes recipes for S'mores (yes, basic graham cracker, chocolate bar and toasted marshmallow s'mores,) Peanut Butter sandwich cookies with peanut butter filling, Easy Chocolate Macaroons, Chocolate-Caramel Ganache, Prize Peach Cobbler, Butterscotch Blondies and finally a Brownie Sundae.  The book's organization is a bit confusing and decisions like the inclusions in the last chapter simply strange, but the recipe I prepared was delicious and I look forward to trying more.


water proof easy to use even while fishing durable no problems so far, priced good  I hope when it wears out I can get the same one again


Unless you have a cabinet saw or a panel saw, it can be difficult to make accurate cuts on plywood sheets.  I've tried several jigs, commercial and homemade, none of which have been entirely satisfactory. The Kreg I bought most recently has a very complicated setup, will only cut a foot from the edge, and once set up, you can't swap saws. It wouldn't fit my Porter-Cable trim saw, either. The best jigs are those in which the saw is locked to the track, and can't wander to either side. Most I've seen require a dedicated saw and track, like the DeWalt and the Festool, which run $600 and up. Way up.
So here's this inexpensive saw guide that's adaptable to just about any saw, can be attached in minutes, and can be adjusted to fit any rail or reasonable thick straight edge up to 3-1/2" wide, and it costs a faction of the other guides. I mounted my Porter-Cable, clamped my cheap straight edge on a leftover piece of 1/2" ply,  adjusted the plate to fit my straightedge, and did a test cut. Result: No wandering, and a near perfect cut.
I've been having my neighborhood lumberyard do my plywood cutting for me, which they do happily and accurately, but the general purpose blade they have mounted on their table saw doesn't leave the cleanest edge. Fine for construction, not so much for cabinetry.  I can make much better finish cuts at home now, using this jig, a pair of sawhorses, and a specialized plywood cutting blade. It's an excellent value.


Really a great product.  Very pleased with the quality of the leather and workmanship.  It's a good size for my large cell phone and other items.


A few comments:
Those who complains about the install being a real pain are right. It took me about 45mn of fumbling around with it to figure out how to use the screws. Note also that the motherboard has to be uninstalled to be able to attach this fan.
Once in place it is very good.
In clear:
The good:
- Cools down your processor with performance nearing water cooling. I am around 25C in idle.
The bad:
- Pain in the neck to install
- Huge. You will need a full tower for this cooler to fit
- Expensive.
Conclusion:
Since the ends justify the means in this case, I still went with the expensive, hard to install fan. I am not planning on changing my processor or fan anytime soon so I am ok with the struggle but would advise patience to anyone choosing it.


Some of the reviews scared me, but the Vue was pleasantly surprising.  It is very similar to the extended height chair that I use with my standing height desk at work.
CONSTRUCTION
Compared to other office chairs that I've put together, the Vue was a bit simpler because more of it was already attached.  All it takes is shoving a few things together and driving some screws.  Easy!
BUILD QUALITY
While the Vue is not the fanciest chair, it has that industrial feel of office furniture that will last forever.  The metal is thick and the hydraulic element shows no sign of strain when I adjust it.  The metal ring used for the foot rest is very nice and surprisingly slick, though I may just be too used to seeing my nasty corroded one at work.
A weak point might be the mesh back, which I could see tearing or fraying at some point because it is just a sheet of fabric.  The cushion also might wear quickly.  I will update my review if I have any issues over time.
COMFORT
If you've never sat in an extended height chair, it is important to know that the foot rest (metal ring) is adjustable, allowing you to set it to a height that is comfortable and does not cut off leg circulation.  This chair's ring is a standard diameter, which means that the heels rest a bit behind the knees.  I don't know why this is the standard, but a wider ring might be more comfortable.  The metal is nicely rounded, but I find that setting my bare feet on it is not comfortable for long stretches.  This is not an issue for using it at work.
The chair itself is firm, but in a good way, with a proper amount of cushion.  The back is nice and the mesh keeps my back cooler in the Summer.  It is not the fancy mesh material that is more springy and supportive, but it works well.
SUMMARY
The Vue is a good standard extended-height office chair.  The build quality is solid, it is simple to use, and generallycomfortable.  It is not likely to make anyone jealous, but it also won't make you jealous of them.


Farberware BBQ Instant Read Thermometer with Large Digital Face, by Farberware.
When I received this thermometer from Amazon, I was a bit disappointed. It is 1 ¼" wide and 5" long. I already have one of these small ones that are more difficult to read as I get older. The write-up on this BBQ thermometer gave the impression that it was larger.  The product description said that it would be 10" long. This is false advertising by Amazon, and one reason that I hate to buy things from a catalog. If it is broken or not as advertised, you have to go through the headache of returning it through the mail. At least if you buy something in an old style brick and mortar store, you can go there and return it more easily. In the same shipment, I also received from Amazon a broken Salter kitchen scale that was made of cheap plastic with chrome paint. The description of that item gave the impression that it was chrome covered metal, not plastic.  More false or misleading advertising by Amazon.  I give up. I will shop at a local kitchen store instead, where I can see what I am getting, and can evaluate the product in the store. Fortunately, I can still drive a car and I do not have to depend on catalogs. The one good thing that I can say about this product, is that it gave exactly the same temperature reading as the one I already had.

Small keyboard -to-Dell PC tablet, Venue 7. worked great!
i wish they would brealk down these micro and mini usb connectors, into a page where you could know what youneed.


The image quality is extremely impressive (much more than I was expecting).  Even the night vision was excellent.  I was expecting it to be a little unsettling with the green glowing eye effect that you typically see with night vision, but it was very minimal and I really could see the whole room clearly.  That feature alone is reason enough to buy this, though it is on the pricey side.
Beyond that the night light and lullaby buttons are great.  I do wish there was a volume control on the receiver as well as the monitor since you might find the music a little loud if you have a baby who is sensitive to sound.  The lullaby options included are very sweet and calming though, so no complaints there.
And I love the monitor.  It has a little stand/hook that you can easily flip up or down and set it on a table or hang on your pocket in a second if you are moving from room to room.  I also didn't experience any interference whatsoever from the microwave or the cell phone or any other wifi device.
The included instruction guide includes only images, so it wasn't super helpful when I first opened the box.  It does come with a CD with full instructions, but fortunately everything was pretty intuitive so I didn't bother.  I would have preferred a better booklet though.


I do a lot of roasting and smoking. Of course I have any number of racks and trays for that purpose, depending on the meat and its size/weight. Racks don't always hold the meat where I want and they aren't easy to clean up when covered in juices, sauce, and fat that has been burned on over several hours. For a long time, I resorted to using makeshift racks made from folded and stacked aluminum foil, but this can also be sticky and messy, and it is wasteful and tedious.
Well, thanks to the roasting laurel, no more piles of foil will be necessary. I tried this right away on my toughest recipe, involving bourbon, brown sugar, and spare ribs (right: sugar, more sugar, and fat). The laurel bends to about any shape needed and then holds that shape, sitting neatly in most any tray. I put it in a foil lined pan, plopped my ribs on top and slathered on the sauce. They were cooked over three hours, turned several times, always adding sauce on top each time. As usual, the drippings and sauces/sugars formed an eighth of an inch deep pool at the bottom of the tray, eventually drying, crusting, and burning to a crisp black. (The ribs turned out great, thank you very much.) After I removed the ribs, I let the tray cool to room temperature. When I went to remove the laurel, it pulled right out from the tray, leaving the blackened sauce and crusted foil behind (with a pretty cool leaf pattern). I started to soak it in water, but most everything floated right off. I was a little annoyed by the large number of nooks and crannies between the leaves and the indentation where the leaves meet the stem, but no scrubbing was necessary - just soapy sponge and even rubbing. I estimate cleaning time of the laurel compared to a typical rack to be about one-fourth as time intensive, and probably one-fiftieth energy intensive. The fact that it didn't get stuck to the sugar and fat hardened to a black tar like coating was impressive enough. This thing is great, and I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. I can't wait to try this during next summer's smoking season!


I was surprised to see that the non-stick coated plates are supposedly dishwasher safe. I love things that can go in the dishwasher so the first thing I did was run all the plates through the dw. When my husband emptied the dw it looked like soap has stuck and crusted all over the plates, so he left them in and ran them again. I was the next to empty the dw and when I opened it the plates looked like soft pretzels covered with salt. I took them out to wash off what I thought was soap by hand and it wasn't soap, it was some weird metal oxidation all over the non-stick side of every plate. I had to scrub it off, and it wouldn't all come off, and it left marks behind.
When the plates were dry we used it to make hot sandwiches once and to make waffles once. We have a  which I am not thrilled with, but this Black and Decker makes it look good by comparison. Both the hot sandwiches and the waffles leaked gunk under the plates, making an awful mess to clean up.


I've got a very light and compact Canon Elph 110 that is just right for this three-legged tripod. The three-legged design allows me to bend and tilt the tripod in any direction/angle I want.
The tiny tripod can then be placed on a desk or shelf(or whatever else with a flat surface) to get a good shot. The tripod remains stable and is relatively sturdy for something so small.
But keep in mind, this tripod is only for the smallest of cameras/camcorders; anything with decent size will be too much for this thing to handle. Price is pretty low, only a couple bucks and change(Amazon's price).


This product looks great, has a lot of very practical features (like push-button loading and a tray for storing staples), and does it's job very well. My wife and I really like it and I'm sure she will find many uses for it in her classroom. This is the first Rapesco product I have owned. I was not familiar with this brand before trying this product. I am impressed with the quality of this product and would highly recommend it to others.


These are a great pair of kitchen shears. They have extra large handles, comfortable for people with larger hands, or if you are wearing gloves.  The scissors are very sharp an useful for cutting through a wide range of kitchen items, and the pointed tip helps it get into tight spaces. A useful addition to your kitchen.


I bought this mattress with the sleep master bed frame, that works as a box spring, and the sleep joy gel pad and it feels amazing. My son had been sleeping on a platform bed and an older mattress and needed a better set. For a little over $300 he is now very comfortable.


This game is tons of fun. i don't know what everyone's problem is. this game is a blast. if you just want a game that does not take alot of concentration then this is a game for you or you just want a relaxing and fun game. all in all this game is awesome. if you have not played this game then i recommend you do


another great product from emb audio watts on amazon ,this crossover is perfect for stacking four amps for that real sound you crave .i still think in the fast compact audio set up, passive is better .setting up your highs mids and lows thru there own amp and set of speakers is the best audio you will hear so stack those emb amps and pipeem thru emb compressor then to crossover and enjoy that great sound .and money u saved buying your gear from amazon.


This super glue works really good. I have used it on numerous items without any problems. I will buy again when i run low


We expected these to suck, but bought them anyway. We thought they'd be more like a fruity candy, and offer little in the breath freshening department.
We had it partially right.
These are very fruity, like we thought, but they also do a great job at freshening our breath and making our mouths feel crisp and clean.  Really addictive too. Good thing they're low calorie!
The flavor is Big on yum factor, and they have a bit of a tart bite to them; the sort of thing that makes your salivary glands constrict as they react to all the juicy goodness.  *Slurp*  ;op
Raspberry & Strawberry Delish
They're both really good, but raspberry has the edge- ...again ---> *Slurp*  ;op  *Yummy*
Bottom Line --  is still our fave; intense, refreshing and super-fresh breath. But these Duo are a real close 2nd! Ice Breakers clearly is onto something. Will definitely buy again. Happy! ;oD


***SPOILER ALERT*** The least said about "The Crying Game" the better. Not that it has any serious problems. Far from it. This offbeat emotional thriller is an unusually satisfying film, intricately constructed, surely directed and splendidly acted. But because this is something different, a sophisticated entertainment where the ground is constantly shifting under your feet, too much knowledge can be a dangerous thing. "Crying Game's" writer-director is Neil Jordan. Jordan's record since has been erratic, particularly where forays into Hollywood are concerned, but with this film he returns to Ireland and displays the kind of modulated but exact mastery of his material that is a model of directorial purpose and execution. Even more impressive than his work behind the camera is Jordan's script, which manages to combine spontaneity of action with the most careful planning. While "The Crying Game's" plot unfolds with complete naturalness and ease, there is nothing casual about the way it was put together. Even its most unstudied moments and off-handed remarks almost magically come together and resonate with a precise purpose that only becomes apparent as the film progresses. "The Crying Game" deals with unlikely relationships and unusual pairings. Its title comes from a 1960s romantic ballad whose lyric insists "I know what there is to know about the crying game." The film's characters, however, are less secure in their emotional knowledge, and when one of them says, with a measure of irony, "Who knows the mysteries of the human heart?" he is speaking for everyone. "The Crying Game" (Edwards South Coast Plaza Village in Costa Mesa, rated R for sexuality, strong violence and language) opens at a ragtag local carnival in Northern Ireland. Lurching around its scruffy rides and attractions is Jody (Forest Whitaker), a black British army sergeant way off duty, who finds himself very drunkenly attracted to Jude (MirandaRichardson), a blond, tarty type in a tight denim skirt. Jude lures him to a deserted spot with promises of hanky-panky, but no sooner do they get comfortable than a pistol appears at Jody's head. Adroitly set up, he now finds himself kidnaped by the Irish Republican Army in retaliation for the British capture of an IRA stalwart. Unless the British let their man go in three days, Jody is told by Maguire (Adrian Dunbar), the IRA will put a bullet in his head. With that head covered by a stifling burlap sack and his hands pinioned behind him, Jody is shuffled off to a deserted greenhouse, where Fergus (Stephen Rea), an IRA soldier who has designs of his own on Jude, is assigned to guard him. Alone together, Fergus and Jody warily exchange names and, despite the odd intimacy of their situation, with Fergus having to not only feed Jody but also help him with more private activities, they slowly begin to warm to each other. Talk is exchanged about sports, about Ireland, about racism, even about the event that brought them together. Jude, Jody says laughing now about his blowzy blond seductress, isn't even my type. From the soldier's wallet, Fergus fishes out a picture of the darkly beautiful, long-haired Dil (Jaye Davidson), a model-thin knockout who is the prisoner's London girlfriend. "Now that's my type," says Jody with satisfaction, and Fergus can only nod in appreciation. Though Jody is the captive and Fergus nominally his captor, Jordan and his adroit actors have made their interaction seem nowhere near that simple. Jody seems curiously confident, Fergus unsure, and something unknown seems to hang in the air just out of reach as a kind of brotherhood takes shape between them. This undefined sense of things being not quite what they seem continues to be the keynote of "The Crying Game," a picture that has the delicious ability of never letting on at any given moment what the next one will bring. The interaction of Jody, Fergus and Jude, not to mention Dil, does not end in that greenhouse, but aside from noting that nothing about how it develops is either predictable or false, all the rest must be left to the film itself to disclose. Making that process thoroughly entertaining is the skill of the actors involved. Whitaker, has a self-confident warmth and a Cockney accent even Michael Caine would approve of. And Rea, a celebrated stage actor; the versatile Richardson, and newcomer Jaye Davidson are all right on the money as well. Suspenseful and emotionally complex, skillfully mixing politics with affairs of the heart, "The Crying Game" is something unexpected, a challenging new way to tell a very old story. When Fergus says, "Funny the way things go, never the way you expect them," he is speaking for the audience as well as himself, and that is a cause not for crying but for celebration.


Pros:  -Default black on white labels are bold and clear to read.  -Prints great right out of the box but you can customize to your heart's content.  You can adjust text and spacing in a myriad of ways; outline, borders, spacing, width, etc.  I didn't explore every option, but compared to my other "average" labeler it definitely has more features.  -The label tear-off backing is split down the middle to make backing removal easy.  Some labelers don't have this often overlooked frustration saver.  -Can print up to 2 lines of text per label, a space saving feature I use often.    -Printing different languages seems to be a strong suit of this labeler.  It comes with many different fonts with everything from accent marks to umlauts.  -Changing batteries and inserting different label tape is easy and intuitive.  -Uses 6 easy to find AAA batteries.  Seem to lasts quite a while.  -Has auto off, after approximately 5 minutes of no activity.  Minor Cons:  -Doesn't come with an AC adapter, but you can buy one.  -Doesn't come with a case which would be nice for storing or carrying the unit.


These do work but they draw a crowd before any lasting damage to the colony is done. I am hard pressed to give this much more than 4-stars because they are pretty much impossible to keep filled long enough to be totally effective. I use many indoors since sugar ants are everywhere here in the high desert during the summer… they even work with the Aphids on my trees. I know it’s not a fault of the product makers but the home brew is pretty effective and you can use it in the empty containers. It’s also more cost effective to buy the Terro 2-ounce liquid at the orange home center for a little less than 4 bucks and fill them yourself. Lastly, I can’t believe how fast these become bone dry and I can’t believe those little ants can drain one of these in a matter of days but if you keep it full long enough the trail of ants will cease and the assumption is that you have then killed off the queen and her minions… or is that just another Urban Legend?


This replacement band seems identical to the original in quality and fit.  Of course, make sure it's the right one for your watch!
I find it a bit easier to get the pins out (I use a small screwdriver) than to put them back in correctly, but with some patience and persistence it's something anyone can do.  I pull on the band to make sure that it's secure -- there have been times I think I have the pin all way in, but one side is not engaged in the hole and the whole thing comes out.


I bought this because of the reviews and the name.  I had never seen it in person and if I had I would have never bought it.  I have a boy and the pee shield is very low.  When we first bought it he refused to use it so we just hung onto it. He's had a set back with potty training and I decided to take it out one more try to give it a try.  He used it.  He peed. All. Over. The. Floor.  Luckily I was standing right there to help him, how shall I say-direct-him where he need to go.  But it was too late, he peed down the front of the seat right where I needed to pick it up which mean I either clean it before I empty as well as after I empty it or I get pee on my hand.
This seat doesn't have the high seat like the other one does but I think all that will do is cause them to lean back and have a bigger chance of accidents.
The non-skid bottom is nice but I don't know of any potty chairs that don't have them.  Not having a lid is a good-bad thing.  We have an extremely small bathroom which means we also need a stool for him to reach the sink, if it had a lid it would take care of having the extra item in the small space.  However, having a lid is just one more step a child has to do when they are bouncing around trying not to go.
The potty seat came in an unsealed, plain plastic bag in a the Amazon box only, it did not come in the Babybjorn potty chair box.  I couldn't help but wonder if I received a returned item.


This is amazing.  Tastes so good when blended into a chocolate smoothie.  Makes me feel very healthy too.  I am satisfied with this product and I am purchasing again.


Good by springs! One lesson, our bedframe is king but there are 2 different dimensions on king. I purposely ordered the longer one but did not think about the frame, so it is a bit narrower. No biggie, not using as a show room! I do have a 4" topper on it as my topper was more $$ than this mattress so I refuse to get rid of it. Sleep like a baby


A very light-hearted Christmas movie demonstrating that money does not guarantee happiness.  Very happy ending, and brings a little Christmas Cheer to a lesson about the real values in life!


I got this for $4.99 and for that price it's well worth it. I live in NYC and we have had 2 snow/ice storms since I got it so I've been able to try it out twice. I really like the squeegee side, which I used both to push heavy snow off the car and to clear snow from my windows. The brush is pretty good too, makes it easier to break apart the snow stuck to the car. The scraper is EXCELLENT. Probably the best scraper I have used. It easily scraped the ice of my windshield and windows with ease.
I took off one star because I did have some issues with this snow broom. First, I wish the brush head was wider. At only a little over 7" wide, you have to make several passes get the snow off sections of your car. Second, the brush head and the scraper are not level on mine, which gets annoying when I have to rotate it when I flip it over to use the other side. It doesn't lay flat because if the brush is flat on the ground the scraper is turned about 45 degrees, so it balances on it's edge. Also, the soft cushion grip slides, especially when the metal handle is really cold.
For the $5 price it is excellent. I wouldn't pay more than that for it. My 10" snow broom was only $10, and that clears the car much quicker, but doesn't have a squeegee and the scraper is not as good. Between my two snow brooms I am prepared for whatever mother nature throws my way!


This cabinet has just the right look and room to hold the items I wanted to put in it. I say almost perfect because I didn't feel that the back panel of the unit looked strong enough to support a full cabinet, because it seems to be made of untempered masonite. So I reinforced the interior top of the cabinet with a piece of wood to drive screws through and distribute the weight better. It was not a big deal to do and it's a nice cabinet for the money.


I think the word "pad" is a little misleading here.  This mouse pad does not have the black foam padding on the bottom of it.  It's pretty much just a super thin piece of plastic.  I like the puppy picture I just wish the pad had some sort of grip foam on the bottom side.


My sister in law makes and sells jewelry, so I thought she would love this for a Christmas gift.  When it arrived she was thrilled because it would make transporting jewelry for her shows easy, roll it up and go!


I got this bag to use as a groceries shopping bag but decided it was too pretty for groceries.  It is made out of a polyester tapestry, the type you might see in wall textile wall hangings. It is very nice looking.  Its size is 15.75" x 12.75" with a 27" handle made out of black strapping.  I use it for carrying books and non-grocery shopping.
This tote bag is provided by Banberry Designs.
Ali Julia review


Attractive price for a product that really works.  We use ours most often for pancakes and they come out perfect all the time.  I've found no need to spray or grease the surface at all and I make my pancakes at highest heat setting.  I've found no hot or not-so-hot spots and it works well for eggs, grilling bagels and muffins.  I suppose you could cook burgers and other meats on it just as well though here we have only used for breakfast foods so far.
