We bought this for our gandchild as part of his Christmas gift.  I do not know yet if he liked it, but he specifically requested an action figure in this set, so I hope that this one is a winner.


This really is lightweight. The suitcases are lighter than I thought. I'm concerned the won't stand up to the wear-and-tear of traveling, but time will tell. The price was good, and the suitcases are large. They fit inside each other, so storage is easy.


I was really disappointed in the Panasonic DMC-ZS45K Lumix.  I had really high hopes for it as the functionality that is listed in the description really makes it sound like a great point and shoot camera.  I have experience with lots of different digital cameras, from the more sophisticated D-SLR cameras to the simplest disposables.  So I was really let down with this one.
First off, for the casual user who just wants a simple point and shoot camera, I would not recommend this.  Panasonic did a horrible job of making the basic camera functions as complex as possible, requiring several steps to making adjustments that other cameras innately have available with one click or turn of a dial.  However, even if this wasn't an issue, which after a few days of use it became a little easier to remember where certain features were located, the biggest problem that I have with this camera overall is the horrible delay between pressing the shutter release button and time it takes the camera to snap the photograph.  This drove me crazy on my old freebie smart phone, so when this decently priced camera did it I was really shocked.  Basically what happens is you go to take a picture of say your children, so you line them up, tell them to smile, and push the button, you can almost count to two before the camera takes the picture.  At this point everyone has moved and the picture comes out all wrong or blurry.  It's really a shame.  I even switched the setting over to "action" so that it would increase the shutter speed time, and the results were exactly the same.  So if you tried to use the "action" mode to catch a thrilling shot at a sporting event or something, the picture would be about two seconds later than the one you tried to take!  At that timing, what's the point?
I tried playing with the "WINK" setting for taking selfies, and that also needs some more engineering from Panasonic.  It works, but barely.  After setting the camera to take a picture using a "wink" (in the same menu as the countdown mode) you have to really be patient with it, and stand there looking like a crazy person winking slowly at your camera in an over emphasized manner in order for the camera to start a 3 second countdown to take the picture.  Even then, I could only get it to take a picture once every ten or so attempts.  Or you could just set the camera to countdown mode, press the shutter button, and the 3 second countdown happens exactly the same way.
For more experienced photographers, Panasonic didn't help you out either.  The manual settings for adjusting aperture and shutter speed require four different steps, toggling between menu functions in order to make your adjustments.  It really shouldn't be that difficult to do these kind of changes, and really wastes a lot of good opportunities by forcing you to do them.
There are a lot of cheaper cameras that take great pictures with so much less hassle.


I use this headset on my iPhone both to listen to music and use for telephone conversations.
The audio is the best I've ever heard using ear buds and people I talk to say my conversation quality is the best of other headsets I've used.


I bought 2 of these nightstands and they look great with the headboard!  Very attractive and very well made!


Series six rotten egg trashies are amazing!! They come hidden inside purple plastic eggs that pull apart at the side into two pieces. This series include some very fresh new and innovative designs. They pretty much all have to do with prehistoric themes. There are ancient eggs-hibits which include dino poop, boggy bonfire, and scum scorcher (also a fire character). There are scrambled animals including the very cool battered bat, puking primate, rotten tooth tiger, and soft boiled sloth to name a few. One of my favorite kinds of trashies in this series are the puke eggs. These are a clear chartreuse egg shaped outer shell with a tiny solid trashy trapped inside. These characters include a poached spider, baked bug, and waste wasp and many more. There is hard boiled trash which feature a speckled, granite like finish. There is eggs-cavated trash which look like fossilized critters stuck in a broken open rock. Some of the characters include sewer slither (a snake), soiled shrimp, oozy octopus, and runny roach. There are eggstinct trash which feature dinosaur characters. There are four limited edition trashies: slime skull, manky maggot, litter lizard, and scrambled rat. These new trash pack additions are very clever and detailed and were a serious hit with my son. Any trash pack collector will crack their shell over these!!


My cat, (and the ones around the neighborhood that come around for hand outs), have always like Temptations.  This has been a favorite snack of all the cats I have had around here for just about as long as they have been making them. It's always been just a snack for them, given out as a few here and there.  And I have always liked the large variety of flavors.  Although these tumblers are made of pretty much the same ingredients as the regular Temptations, I don't like them as much, and neither I believe do the cats.  Although the idea behind these are for cats to play with their food, I don't think most get it or care, and they would just rather eat them.  Also, like a lot of other reviewers here have pointed out, these really are small balls, maybe twice the size of a BB...I don't think the cats recognize them really as balls to play with, or just don't bother too...Out of the three cats I tested them on, two ate them without playing, and one eyeballed them for a while but eventually ate them.  Perhaps finding the small balls rather unusual...    In conclusion, even if these were actually fun for your cat, I don't personally like the ball shape.  I think all three of the cats I feed prefer the Temptations in their traditional shapes that are much easier for them to chew.  The balls are made pretty small for the cats to find chewable, but its my opinion that most still don't like it...I rate these Temptations 4 stars for taste, with the one star off for the balls that I don't think are that good an idea... : )


... a cheap one from Harbor Freight and this Hitachi.  The Hitachi is a quality tool.  It works smoothly and I've never had it jam.  I can't say the same about the one from HF.  The Hitachi quality costs more, but it's definitely worth it.


I have been a fan of Christopher Moore for quite a while now, and have read nearly all of his books - and some of them more than once. He creates wonderful characters and injects them as well as the plot and dialogue with his great sense of humour. Sacre Bleu may not have been the funniest of all of his novels to date, but it certainly still made me laugh!
I was hooked from the very premise - I studied art history in college, and had a lot of fun seeing cameo appearances of all of my favorite Impressionist painters (and really, a co-starring role by some of them!). It was a really fun book, with a zany plot and terrific characters. I recommend saving it for the perfect "blue" day to brighten your mood!


The Motorola MBP27T is a nice video baby monitor with great features but also some limitations. It comprises of one video camera unit and one parental unit. Two different AC adapters and a rechargeable battery pack for the parental unit are provided.    The video camera unit has a decent quality comparable to VGA resolution which is more than adequate for monitoring baby activities. Don't expect sharp video like you would on your Apple or Android phones. The camera is surrounded by a ring of IR LEDs which enable night vision in a dark room. The night vision quality is serviceable. The digital pan and tilt works well but only for a few degrees in all directions. You can't pan it across the room or tilt it to the ceiling or down to the floor. Nevertheless, it is perfect for just looking around the baby's immediate surroundings. There is no zoom function and no lullaby. Lastly but not least, the camera has a microphone and a speaker to allow audio monitoring and communication.    The parental unit also has a microphone and speaker for two-way communication with the video camera unit. The audio quality is clear and works very well to pick up baby noises and to soothe a crying baby in a different room. The LCD quality is nothing to write home about. The individual pixels are quite visible and the lower quality is serviceable as a baby monitor. The parental unit has the directional buttons to pan and tilt the video camera.    One unique feature in the parent unit is the non-touch temperature sensor. You can use it to measure liquid temperature in a formula or skin temperature of the baby. I compared it with a digital thermometer on a variety of surfaces and liquids and both registered a temperature within a degree of each other (more often within 0.5 degree). It is very useful for a quick test on the temperature of a formula or that of the baby.    Now the not so good things about this baby monitor. The battery performance (in the parent unit) is outrageous. It only lastsabout 3 hours on a full charge and it takes the whole night to fully charge it. This is ridiculous in the age of mobile devices. Well, at least you can still use the parental unit while it's being charged. Also the advertised 520 ft range is outright not achievable unless you're in direct line of sight and there is no outer 2.4 GHz radio frequencies in the area. In a typical home environment with walls, furniture and a home wireless network, you're lucky if you can get a 100 ft range out of it, or maybe much less.    Another thing that I noticed is that while the video baby monitor is in operation, my home wireless network takes a hit in performance. More often than not, my WiFi transfer speed takes a dive depending where I'm at in relation to the baby monitor and the router. The wireless baby monitor operates in the 2.4 GHz radio band. There is definitely some radio interference going on. Problem is solved when I move my laptop to the 5 GHz band though.    To sum up my thoughts, the MBP27T is a decent video baby monitor with 2-way audio communication. The video quality is okay for a baby monitor (totally unlike the sharp image depicted in the Amazon product page). It has digital pan and tilt feature but no zoom. What makes this baby monitor stand out is the non-touch temperature sensor which is extremely useful for a quick check on the baby or her formula. Nevertheless, the battery performance is a letdown and may potentially limit its usefulness. Other than that, it's a decent choice.


This is a great set.  Over the past 20 years I have not been able to find all my screwdivers.  This set replaces the ones that are missing as well as adding to what I already have. Very affordable and reliable.


Excellent filter for both my SUV and Minivan.  It has worked well over 10K miles before changing out.  I typically do two oil changes before replacing the filter and so far the filters have not fully clogged.  I life the 1-inch nut at the end of the filter for easy removal and installation.  No longer need to use a filter wrench that cannot fit in tight spaces of newer vehicles anyway.  I use K&N products in all my vehicles.

4.5 Stars out of 5
I am amazed at the sophistication of this stroller.  It is NOT the same animal as the under $100 varieties and in ten years it will still be a beautiful, fully loaded, functional work of art.  If your budget can absorb the sticker shock associated with this stroller, you'll be hard pressed to find something more versatile or better constructed.  I'm going to start with what I think of as the negatives aspects as there fewer of them than positives.
Cons:
*  Price - of course.
*  The Pois Black stroller is hard to see in the dark.  You'll trip over it at night and it makes me nervous to walk the neighborhood at dawn and dusk.
*  There may be too many features.  It easily becomes overwhelming to try to understand how to use them all.
Pros:
*  High quality construction with premium materials.
*  Extremely versatile and will continue to offer functionality and beneficial features as your baby grows.
*  Fairly lightweight and easy to stow into the back of the car.
*  You can get the baby seat from the same manufacturer and it will snap securely onto the frame.  Here's Amazon's listing:
*  Front or rear facing functionality with a peek portal.
*  Plenty of onboard storage.
*  Water bottle holder.
*  Adjustable handle to easily accommodate taller as well as shorter people.
*  Turns on a dime - great for elevators and shopping aisles.
*  The rear wheels lock to help keep the stroller from creeping away from you.
*  Easy to clean materials.
*  Beautifully designed and attractive.
There are so many other features and positive things I could say about this stroller, but I think I've gotten my point across.  I did not choose the color I received and as my only real negative, I would caution parents to select one that has bright visible colors on it.  We have tripped over this stroller in the darkness of the house (insert not-baby-friendly expletives here for stubbed toes).  I also don't feel it is visible enough for strolling the neighborhood in lower light conditions.  Add a glow-in-the-dark doo-dad here and there and you've just solved this problem.
I have to admit that I still don't know how to quickly use every feature of this stroller.  When in doubt, I refer to the video on this page.  I've watched it at least a dozen times by now and I have it bookmarked for easy reference.
Enjoy, and congratulations!  This Grammy is beyond delighted!


I really like these socks especially the top which is folded over for extra comfort and strength. I appreciate the tan color because I walk around
the house and the whites ones show the dirt and these not so much. They are sooo soft and warm and you can't beat the price, but I think they
run a bit small.  I wear an 11WW womens  and they just fit so I think the sizing is misleading. My feet swell some, so at night when I take them
off, I see marks around the ankle where it has become tight. These are not edema socks and if my feet were more swollen than usual, I would
not be able to use them, but for better days, they are fine. I will probably buy more.


We have a black lab that is shedding an unreasonable amount of fur this summer. We have clumps everywhere, and I have to vacuum everywhere at least once per day to make the house look inhabitable. A personality quirk of mine: I don't want to. I loathe cleaning and resent that my dog is making me do it with such frequency.
This broom flat out works. On the floor it works great, but the three places that it really helps me out are on the stairs, in the bathroom and on our furniture. The rubber bristles collect hair very effectively.
I hate still cleaning, but I would definitely buy this broom again. It has made an untenable situation slightly more bearable.


Used this to balance the sides and face of the two 8 inch grinding wheels that came with my Harbor Freight bench grinder, so it wouldn't vibrate. It works very well and did the job. Not sure how long these will hold up but so far so good.


I should have read the reviews first, it won't hold vue cups. With my Kureg on top of it, it was to tall, and I couldn't open it to put a pod in. I gave it away to a friend.


Great made and works correctly it's very nice and good shipping time
i love it and would like to buy more for it in the future


Good soundtrack, had variety, one of the tekkens with an actual plot(3 4 and 5 were slightly plot heavy)
this period in time tekken was great, had that underground dark atmosphere than when 6 came(best combat)but 6 was brighter in comparison regarding tone and storytelling, which in 6 was ridiculous.


These candles are attractive and function well.  The real wax on the outside make them less obviously battery operated. Because they are made of real wax, I was able to shave down the back side of one of them so it would fit into a candle holder/lantern with a small opening/door.  Great to have candles on top of a bookcase that I don't need a ladder to light and don't pose a fire hazard.


****No Plot Spoilers****
  Ever since watching Brian De Palma's "Carrie" () and "The Fury" (), I've been obsessed with telekinesis.  The Scanners franchise also fulfilled my desire to watch people move objects with their thoughts.  The original "Scanners" () was directed by David Cronenberg who became famous for his controversial science fiction horror films starring controversial actors [e.g., "The Brood" (), with brawler hunk Oliver Reed, and "Rabid" () with former porn star Marilyn Chambers].  "Scanners" focuses on an emotionally disturbed, homeless scanner, Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) who meets an art gallery assistant, Kim Obrist (supermodel Jennifer O'Neill) who is also a scanner.  Together, they attempt to locate an evil scanner, Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside), who wants the scanners to rule the world.  During their quest, they discover the dark secret concerning the origin of scanners.  Note: Scanners not only have the ability to move objects with their thoughts, but they can also read (i.e., scan) and manipulate other people's thoughts.  However, many become insane because of sensory overload.
  Having owned "Scanners" on DVD for years, I was naturally thrilled to learn that Shout Factory had released its first two sequels as a Blu-Ray and DVD combo pack.  I saw them on VHS too many years ago in muted, full-frame formats.  Thanks to Shout Factory, each film has been presented correctly in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.78:1.  All colors are bright, clear and crisp and the audio is great (DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo for Blu-Ray; Dolby Digital Stereo for DVD).  Each film appears as though it has been recently released at the theatre.  There are no vertical lines or dark splotches.  I played the DVD version on my Blu-Ray player and couldn't tell a significant difference from the Blu-Ray.  The remastering for both the Blu-Ray and the DVD has been excellent.  I`ll be able to loan the DVD to my girlfriend, Tammy, who doesn't own a Blu-Ray player.  A horror buff like me, she's going to kill me with her evil thoughts when she learns I watched these films without her.
  Both Scanners II and III were directed by Christian Duguay.  Like "Scanners," they boast gorgeous casts, contain themes of good versus evil and were filmed in and around the cold, gray environs of Montreal and Quebec, Canada.  In "Scanners II: The New Order," a veterinarian student, David Kellum (David Hewitt) is a scanner on the run who finds another scanner, Julie Vale (Deborah Raffin); together they try to destroy the corrupt Commander John Forrester (Yvan Potton) who is using scanners to kill anyone who stands in his way of becoming mayor.  Similar in plot to the original "Scanners," it has, however, some shocking twists.  Also, it has considerably more gore and violence than the original.  This one was more emotionally disturbing to me because it deals more with violence perpetrated against family members.
  In "Scanners III: The Takeover," a Christmas tragedy causes a scanner, Alex Monet (Steve Parrish), to become a monk in Thailand.  Meanwhile, his sister, Helena (Liliana Komorowska), also a scanner, is suffering from severe migraine.  She uses her father's experimental drug and becomes insanely diabolical.  She then commandeers her father's pharmaceutical company to take over the world.  As in the previous film, there is a tremendous amount of violence and gore.  Again, there is familial violence; this time, it is even sadder when relatives attempt to kill one another.  Note: I loved the unforgettable character of Helena.  She is extremely diabolical, beautiful and sensual.  Komorowska played her perfectly.
  There are two discs in this Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack.  One disc contains both films on DVD and the other disc contains both films on Blu-Ray.  Unfortunately, the combo pack doesn't have any extras.  There are no subtitles, no audio commentaries, no theatrical trailers, no deleted scenes, no "making off featurettes," and, worst of all, no scene selections.  The menu gives you a choice of which Scanners movie to watch and that is all.  Unbelievable!  If not for the widescreen presentations, stereo audio and remastering, I would have thought that these two films had been released by Mill Creek, which churns out films on Blu-Ray and DVD at a high rate, regardless of quality.  Because of its blatant lack of extras, I cannot give this Scanners II and III Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack the highest rating.
  If you are a fan of horror films, especially the ones involving telekinesis, then I recommend this Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack.  However, I wish Shout Factory had either included a digital copy or just decreased the price and given us the choice of buying the Blu-Ray or the DVD, not both.  I also wish that Shout Factory or another company would properly release "Scanner Cop" and "Scanner Cop 2: Volkin's Revenge" on Blu-Ray.  Both films star Daniel Quinn as Detective Samuel Staziak who hunts down rogue scanners.  The original "Scanners," released by MGM and out of print at the time of this review, also deserves the Blu-Ray treatment.  Many fans are hoping it will be re-released by the Criterion Collection.  My MGM release of "Scanners" only has a theatrical trailer and subtitles for extras.  A commentary from David Cronenberg would be nice.

I have a 7 year old daughter that is a competetive junior golfer.  She practices putting everyday at home and goes to the course 2x a week.  I have a large indoor putting green and just walking to the other end to gather balls is just too slow and tends to lengthen her training time.  So we decided to try this.
PROS:
1.  Portable - This is very small and can be moved around as long as you have an outlet.
2.  Ball return - You can adjust the ball return speed.  So if you are practicing short putts adjust the speed slower so that the ball does not come back at you too fast.
CONS:
1.  Moves - This does not have the weight and does not stay in place very well.  After a few putts, you will have to reposition it again since it moves.  I placed a 1 pound dumbbell on top of it so that it does not move.  It worked.
SUMMARY:
Aside from having to use weights to keep it in place, it has actually been a very useful tool.  She can hit more putts during her 1 hour practice session which will help her be a better golfer.


You just really can't go wrong with any Coach items. This is very cute and stylish and I love the little bow on front. It has plenty of room too.


Don't work as well as I expected.  It seems to collapse on itself and doesn't work as well as my old 98 cent plunger,  but I liked the idea that it was coated and the water runs right off the surface.


Absolutely perfect for a cat perch in front of window in my livingroom (can even store kitty toys it).  Needed something that would allow heat from baseboard electric heating unit under the window to still warm room but a perch for my kitties.


This is an instant hit!  Nice & clear speaking voice, and this looks like she came right out of Friendship Is Magic. Its very pretty, and we can't wait to get the Princess Celestia, they will look perfect side by side!


This was a fun addition to our playstation collection. It seems to be getting harder to find games for the playstation that aren't rated M or just plain lame.
Rayman Legends is suitable for all ages with bright, vibrant colors and characters. The game is family friendly without being babyish and challenging enough that my teens enjoy it as well. Being a family of several children, having games that 4 people can play at once is a huge plus. Having some that don't involve smashing each other or sports is even better!
I don't see it having the lasting replay value that Little Big Planet engenders but it is certainly worth a whirl.


I sure do miss the glory days of hi-fi, when high quality stereo receivers, preamplifiers, amplifiers, and true speaker systems ruled the day!  Now everything is miniaturized and portable, with sound quality often suffering bigtime.  Sure MP3 files, iPODs, iPADs, and PC's (with their small speakers) are convenient ways to get (download) and carry music around with you, but you're missing out on palpable bass, a natural soundstage, and musical detail when you listen to most pairs of compromised headphones or PC speakers, sadly typical of most music listening done today.  Do yourselves a big favor-  if you truly love music and you wish to listen to music in all it's grandness and glory, get a good integrated amplifier (or separates- preamp and amp combo), and a great set of speakers to hook up your digital files player or PC to.  Your ears will thank you!  Contrary to belief, you really don't have to spend a fortune if you know what to look for.  Knowledge is power, and equates to savings too.  The great thing about this integrated amp is that it already has an excellent built-in Wolfson DAC, and Onkyo is a respected name in audio going back decades.  I just helped my neighbor (college student) select his very first stereo system with conventional speakers, and I suggested this integrated amp.  He also wanted a pair of good bookshelf speakers, and he ended up with JBL ES30's.  His budget was $700, which was met (including RCA to mini-plug stereo cable and a short run of thick speaker wire).  We were both floored when we listened to some of his higher-res digital files through the Onkyo and JBL's!  He said, and I quote:  "I can now hear nuances i've never heard before, and I can now feel my music!  I never knew my iPOD could sound so great!"  'Nuff said!


Very nice stands for the money! They hold up nicely and can be used for anying from holding a flash to softboxes. If your just starting out these are not a bad set.


This light is excellent for the price. It is as bright as a Code3 LED-X. More than adequate for day time use, and I'd imagine blindingly bright at night. Well worth twice the price.


Wow. This is liquid green salsa crack. I usually don't enjoy spicy foods, but this is so delicious that I cannot resist cramming mouthfulls of tasty green stuff into my mouth. It is happiness in a jar.
I keep jars of this around for unexpected guests and pop open a bag of tortilla chips and pour this into a bowl. Even my foodie guests are delighted and ask how I made this.


This nifty precision screwdriver set was just what I needed.  I most often use the torx bits but all the other various type bits are good to have around  The handle works well and is comfortable in the hand.  The storage case is decent with well organized and secured contents and compact enough to be easily stored.  i love the magnetic bit head.  Nice product for the price.


Good tea, the classic flavor. I use this to make cold tea in my coffee maker. It is a cheaper alternative to buying the bags. Just put it in the coffee pot with a filter.


So far so good with this belt.I am not really a fan of "Good for a Year" tires but this belt seems to be well made and fits great.Time will tell if it holds up to the task.


This wall clock fits so well in my kitchen.  It is rustic looking and adds a neat touch to the kitchen ambiance. I have uploaded a picture with the clock hanging on the wall.  It also shows the back of the clock which shows the simplicity of the mechanics like any other wall clock.  I used a non alkaline battery since I had it on hand.  The design is not very sharp, it has like a soften look to it but it all works well together - the attached picture shows a close up of one of the edges, note that none of the pics were retouched.
The clock I received came in very good conditions.  The 'seconds' hand is very accurate - I tested against a stop watch.  It is very light though, it only weighs 10.5 oz (without a battery).  It doesn't have a protective frame but the edge of the clock has a black sort of sealant that would keep it from chipping.  Good purchase if it fits your setting and also your budget.
Item provided for testing purposes.


I used this seed to fill in areas of my lawn that had no grass because of a large tree that has now been cut down.  I followed the directions and made sure not to over-water.  The grass that is coming in looks great.  It is still too early to see how well it holds up but so far this product works very well and is easy to use.  The only downside is that it is expensive.  In the past I was able to buy a lot more seed coverage and my own mulch for less.  This package is a lot easier to use and is actually worth it for smaller areas.


This silicone bowl has a low-relief profile of a dog on the bottom.  It easily pops up and stays put until flattened because of the sturdy plastic rim.  The grass green color coordinates with many of my silicone kitchen accessories but there are lots of fun colors to choose from.
The bowl is marketed for pets, but works well for human use, too, especially when space is limited, such as when travelling or in a boat or recreational vehicle.  Toddlers can play with it in the bathtub or pool.  The pleated sides and matte silicone make it easy to grip.
The bowl holds about 12 oz. to the bottom of rim.  It weighs 58 g ( 2 oz.).  The outside diameter is 5 1/16 in. at the rim, tapering down to a 3 9/16 in. base, and the height is 2 1/8 in. The little tab adds 9/16 in. to the diameter.  When collapsed, it is 9/16 in. tall.
Namsan provided a bowl for evaluation and review.


Eight ounce. Silk Sticks from Bioguard.
So easy to use just toss in the skimmer or in a floating chlorinator. I have a salt water pool but need to boost the levels in the spring due to seeding trees and pollen onslaught. The bioguard keeps the chlorine from burning off. If it makes keeping the pool clean easier I am for it. Simple and in the long run very cost effective as you no longer have to shock. Keeps chemical levels consistant.


It takes two cubes to boil a cup of water no matter what you've read.  I have tested this on several backpacking pots, titanium/steel/aluminum, on my deck in a no wind situation and it always takes two cubes to boil a cup of water.  The time is a bit different ranging from 7 to 11 minutes based on the material and the cube (cubes weights vary a little).  I will use this for a summer trip but wouldn't depend on it in cold weather.


My grandmother used to manage and own a GNC back in the day. She has always been into healthy foods and healthy living. Niacin has always been on the list. It's really good for circulation. Just a caution that even though some say 'flush-free', it may still cause 'flushing'. It feels like ants stinging in the areas where you need it the most. Although it can be an intense tingling, it doesn't last long. It's better if taken with food.


These TVs are worth purchasing folks.  When you compare these to other models with the same features, you receive more for your money for the price.


This little guy is almost a must on your key ring.
Considering how small this flashlight is, the output is quite spectacular!


This Summer Infant crib set is different from any crib set I have owned. Instead of the usual pastel color or the new trendy colors, this is a lovely neutral taupe color. The fabric is cotton, but muslin, and so is a bit coarser than you would expect in a bedding set for an infant.
The set includes 2 fitted sheets, a dust ruffle, and a really lovely blanket. One sheet is white, and one lightly patterned. both are really easy to put on, something I appreciate after years of struggling with crib sheets!  The dust ruffle easily adjusts to three different heights. The blanket is a nice medium weight, perfect for year round use. One side is solid, and one has an understated diamond motif. There was no shrinkage when the set was laundered.
This set is a nice gift when you are unsure of the baby's gender or the nursery decor.


Not a huge step forward for the Gran Turismo franchise. Not a terrible game, but I lost interest pretty quickly. Also, I miss the endurance races.


We purchased a pair of these for our daughters so that they can carry around their tablets without dropping them or damaging them.  These neoprene cases are perfect for iPad mini's, with room to spare.  The bag also has room to carry their chargers and little things they want to bring along.  A stylus fits nicely in the open compartment on the front.  The inside is lined with a nice shag fleece, and the entire thing feels like a well made item.  The strap is made of the same material as a seatbelt and is soft, yet strong.  The only complaint I would have, although it's not enough to take off a star, is that for little people, the shoulder cushion isn't usable.  By the time the strap is adjusted small enough for a child, for example, the should cushion is pushed all the way to one end of the strap because the buckle will not fit through the pad.  All in all, it's minor for us in the long run, but if you are eager to use that pad, and you are small, just know that it likely won't end up at the top of the strap when it's on your shoulder.


These are soooo good. They remind me of Kind bars - nuts, chocolate, all good for you stuff. These are more like candybars, however, in that they have quite a bit of organic sugar. But, they're so much better for you (as they're organic cane and not HFCS ) and they really do satisfy the desire for something sweet while still being good for you.Fresh tasting cashews, yummy  chocolate, nice combo of crunchy/chewy texture.


Im on a plane every two weeks flying all over the US for work and I never leave without this in my bag. This scale is very accurate and has saved me from a lot of worry and stress when getting ready to leave for my next destination.
Some airports in the mainland have scales off to the side for people who want to check their luggage weight before checking in but when you have two large bags and have a tight schedule, there's no time to make a pit stop there. Especially when you can see the check in lines are long and the security lines are even longer.
I highly HIGHLY recommend this product for those who travel frequently and are heavy packers.  This has made my life so much more easier and efficient. I weigh my bags after packing and I'm ready to go.


We have been in love with Jerk chicken ever since we went to Jamaica. This was the closest we could find to authentic jerk seasoning. Please be aware that it is spicy!!


Bought this as a replacement for an old Sony point and shoot that lasted forever until an unfortunate accident with the ocean.  (dont ask ;-)  This camera has lots of different settings and a good zoom with lots of modern features such as the antiblur among other things.  When I was comparing cameras, I also looked at the 2013 version of this camera the HX-30V and found them to be more or less the same, with the exception of maybe a little bit better version of zoom on the 30-V, however the 2013 version of this camera costs 70 to 100 dollars more than this one.  So if the 20 x zoom is worth the difference in price versus the 16x on this one, then go for the 30-v, but if not, then this is a good choice that takes good pictures and is reasonably priced.


This is an OK grill brush.  I am using this on a Char Broil Infrared Grill with Cast Iron grates.  I cook a lot of foods with marinades and need to scrape off the burnt on crusts every time I am finished.  This brush did an OK job.  The brass bristles, which are recommended for cast iron, felt a bit too soft to scrub it well enough.  There is no scraper on this so it was more difficult for the big burnt on pieces.
I used water and set all my burners on high for 15 minutes to get the grill to 700 degrees, but it could not get all the debris off.  This is my first time using a brush this style.  I normally use a brush with a scraper.
I do like that the handle is long because once the water touches a hot grill, the steam is very hot.  It has a nice thick handle but did not perform like I would have liked.
It is an OK brush.  I will go back to using my usual style brush.


Let me start my saying that my needs for a Sweeper as a traditional home owner, are simply and realistic.  This unit has just the right amount of power to blow debris, leafs and even mulch. After mowing my lawn, I take this puppy out and have no problem sweeping clippings and other debris off my driveway and various areas around my front and back yards. Wet leaves are a bit tougher and may require you getting really close with the sweeper; if the leaves are wet and stuck to the ground, then you may have to shake them off with your foot first and then sweep them with G-Max.    This tool works uses very little power from the battery, even at full blast;I have the battery powered mower which uses the same battery and even after mowing both my yards, I'm able to use the sweeper on high power without the battery dying on me.    It is light, but depending on which battery is used with it, you will feel a difference in weight, but nothing that will cause fatigue.    It has a power switch and dial. The power switch starts the sweeper and the dial controls the different speeds/power.  The main nozzle is removable and it also comes with a removable tip, which has a low and high settings, which directs the air at a different angle for a  higher/lower air flow.    Again, as a home owner, I'm pleased with my purchase. If you are looking for something basic with enough power for  house chores, then look no further, this is it. On the other hand, if you are looking for a heavy duty sweeper/blower, then go for the gas models, they have a lot of kick for heavier work loads.


It would work as an AUX but I wanted it for an iPhone that the cover makes the plug in for these, ah...impossible. Cover makes audio plug in too small.
Given too much cost to return, hello to Goodwill? Or giveaway.


I had high expectations for this battery grip. As Nixxell has been in the photography industry for years. Although I am a consummate believer in supporting your local retailer. I have found the irresistible convenience of online purchasing worth taking the risk of "of hoping to get what you paid for. And actually getting it". I am also a firm believer in, "you get what you pay". Simply put, you want cheap, you buy cheap, you get cheap". However this Nixxell Battery Grip which I used on my Nikon D3200. Delivered as promised. The lines of the camera body match up nicely with the top of the Battery Grip. It looks as if it came from Nikon. The weight gain with batteries installed in nominal. The rubberized contact surface for your hands allows for a sure grip on the camera body. The installation instructions were brief and left me asking more questions. Fortunately I had no issues installing it. The battery compartment door is somewhat fragile, go slow opening and shutting it. My one and only issue with this piece of equipment is. The included cable the attaches from the battery Grip to the camera body accessory connection panel. If your accustomed to shooting vertically and need the secondary shutter release button. Well you have to use the supplied cable to get that to function. Maybe the next generation Nixxell Battery Grip will find a way to accomplish this without the obtrusive cable? So did I get what I paid for? Yes ! Amazon & Nixxell have combined forces to supply the online shopper with the ease of purchasing a vast selection of products. All the while elevating "Customer Support" to new levels. Keep up the good work.


This item comes up under the Cat Dental Care department and the directions say "Gently lift dog's or CAT'S upper lip to expose teeth and gums. Liberally spray each side of mouth, coating teeth and gums" implying that it can be used for cats. However, the bottle says (in VERY tiny print) "For dogs only. Not intended for use with cats."
I had to return it because I purchased it for my cats. I just want any cat owners to be aware of this. It should not be used on cats. I gave a neutral 3 stars because I did not get to use it. I don't want any cat owners to make the mistake of purchasing it.


If ever one wanted a chocolate fix - this is the way to go - less calories than a candy bar / 10 cal. more per serving the BC Dark Choc., but don't count -


Worked great for replacing the bulbs in the overhead lighting in my pop-up trailer.  So much more light and uses less juice.  Perfect!


I have used WD black and RE4 (now just RE) drives for many years. I've probably used more than 100 in my desktops and light use servers and that many again in client desktops/servers. My overall experience has been excellent and this drive, so far, is no exception.
After a week with the WD2003FZEX my first impressions are below. I'll update the review as I've lived with the drive for a while and share what I learn.
I installed the WD2003FZEX 2TB WD Black drive into a Dell T7500 Precision Workstation. It is being used for data and is not the boot drive which is a  that is very fast but power hungry for a SSD: good for desktops, not as much for laptops/tablets.
I tried both the built-in SATA2 and an add-in card with SATA3. In all cases Installation was painless and uneventful. The different interfaces did not yield dramatically different results.
To get an handle on how this drive's performance changes from the last version I ran some tests on this drive and a older  for comparison.
In running casual tests (copying large files, directories of small files, etc.) I got some general impressions of the drive:
1) In both large files and small file copies to/from the FZEX outperforms the older AAEX but mostly shines with small file/random access. I believe the improvement for small file/random access is close to 10%. Some of this might be the dual processor and improved caching over older versions.
2) it's more noisy than previous versions as has been noted in other reviews. It seems that is a fairly consistent pattern for rotating media drives: faster=noisier.
3) The drive runs slightly warm - meaning comfortably warm to the touch. Good for longevity and unusual for a performance drive.
The WD Black line of drives comes with a 5 year warranty. I have had few failues with WD drives but when they have happened I have never had a problem with warranty. This has not been so true with other manufacturers (You can read about this in my review of the ). With a business where I run a lot of hard drives this matters. Warranty is nothing until you need it, then it's everything.
The FZEX is a consistent step in the long evolution and ongoing improvement of the WD Black line drives. For consistent quality I have to give this drive 5 stars.
Hope this paints a helpful picture of what the drive delivers.
Update: Dec 27, 2013
After living with the 2TB black drive for a while it seems more quiet than at first. This might be the drive, but I think more likely me just getting used to it. So far no issues or glitches. It is operating perfectly and still feels faster than my older WD Black line drives. I'm still quite satisfied.
Another option from WD that is a little unusual and works in laptops and may also be good for compact desktops or all-in-one's is the . This provides an OS sized 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD in one laptop sized package. This is different from hybrid drives. It uses one 2.5" format package to implement the popular desktop combo of a SSD for the OS and a conventional drive for bulk data. It's on the expensive side but is a good solution for a combination of speed and bulk data. I installed this for a client who does video editing on a laptop.


Well, glad I ordered 2 packs of these since 1 in each pack would not plunge without putting too much air in our abandoned kitten's bellies...


And a fire is burning in it as I write this. Very solid and believe will last a good long time. The size is perfect as is the shape for my fireplace (be sure to measure accurately)! I couldn't be happier.


Bought these to mount a Vizio speaker under a 39 Inch Samsng flat screen.  Mounting worked well, but these brackets have a fair amount of flexibility which makes them "feel like the speaker isn't secure.  It is.  The TV I mounted it to is on a swivel wall mount, and whenever the TV is adjusted the speaker sways back and forth a bit as the metal flexes.  This is made from a fairly thin grade of metal, so it is certainly not rigid.  In our setup, mounted to the TV with the wall mount at the same time, the brackets allow the sound bar to move L-R as well, which means it gets knocked off of "level" fairly easy.
All that being said, I like the brackets, but not enough for five stars.  It is adequate for what we need, but it does not exceed expectations.


I'm an old retired telephone man (AT&T, SBC, SW Bell). I had a 12 year old 2-line VTech system that had served us well but one hand set was hard for me to hear on and the battery's wouldn't hold like they did when new. I never really liked cordless phones because they were always causing trouble (noisy, buzzing in the back ground) and us repair tech's would have to tell the customer that their high $$ phone was causing their problem. I thought the old VTech phones we had were good but not as good as a hard wired phone. These new VTech 2-line phones with the DECT 6.0 Digital technology are AMAZING. Their quality is better than my AT&T 2-line hard wired phones. VTech phones are the best I have ever used and these new ones are the best of the best! I had bought a VTech single line phone about two years ago when I moved one of my phone lines to VOIP and that phone has the DECT 6.0 Digital technology and the quality on it has been superb. GREAT Amazon shopping experience. This seller was prompt in shipping the item to me and it was a great product with a great price. THANKS


This shirt is really sharp. One of my favorite designs, there is a really neat design on back also. The neck and length of Oakley tees run a bit big for my son who wears a large in tees, so I wash in cold and dry really hot before he wears them and then they are perfect.


The G1077M is part of the Gitzo Classic Center Ball Head series, marketed as a petite head for travelers and matched to their carbon fiber Mountaineer tripods. I bought it in 2004 to use on a Gitzo G1028 Mountaineer. My gripped EOS 10D and 17-40 4L USM zoom were too close to the 4.4 LB load limit and I was fighting drifting in portrait orientation. So rather than struggle with every angle, I bought the next size up, the Gitzo G1177M, rated to 8.8 LB. All it needed was a modest amount of torque and the angle was locked. The G1177M became my favorite head and traveled with me for a decade.
The wee G1077M languished for years in a desk drawer, unused and forgotten. I started shooting with an Olympus E-P3 micro 4/3 system and needed a small tripod to complement it. So I installed the G1077M on my Manfrotto 209B table top tripod and the combo was magic: balanced, light and smooth as silk. And no drift whatsoever. The E-P3 felt like it belonged on that head. Although the E-P3 is metal and armed with an EVF and fast prime, it's still a lightweight compared to even a petite DSLR.
So while the G1077M is not well suited for heavy DSLRs, it is ideal for compact cameras like M4/3 or point 'n shoot, and at its best mounted on a table top tripod like a Manfrotto 209B or Giottos QU500. In a pinch, a DSLR works fine on the G1077M as long as you stick to horizontal orientation.
CONSTRUCTION: Most metal parts are magnesium for strength and minimal weight. The ball housing sports an attractive sliver and black speckle enamel and, after years of use, has proved to be surprisingly chip and scratch resistant. The bottom is tapped for a standard 3/8 inch tripod mount thread. The top platform has a 1/4 inch bolt for mounting a camera.
A single large knob is used for locking the ball. There is no separate tension knob. To mount a camera you loosen it and turn the top platform until the screw is snug. The platform is large and knurled for a sure grip even in wet weather.
One odd thing I noticed while everything was apart was the ball is hollow and I could look down the stem and see out the bottom. Probably the hollow ball is a weight saving measure.
KIRK QR Clamp Install: I have Arca-Swiss quick release plates on all my cameras so I decided to add a small Kirk QR clamp to the G1077M . First I screwed it into the 1/4 bolt on top of the disk. I soon realized the disk was redundant and removed it, mounting the Kirk clamp directly on the ball stem. The appearance is OEM and the operation is smooth, fast and natural. The installation of the Kirk clamp on the stem was harder than expected due to Locktite on the threads. I had to hold the stem still with a small pliers (with cloth to keep from scratching it) and unscrew the disk with rubber gloves for extra grip. The 1/4 inch stud had Locktite too and I had to use the pliers to remove it too. I cleaned off the Locktite and repositioned the stud so the top was flush with the top of the Kirk clamp (& deeper in the stem). And, yes, I applied a wee bit of Locktite 242 to keep the rig from turning under load. So 30 minutes of toil but what a great lightweight combo!
LOAD CAPACITY: This is only a 120 g head and rated for light duty loads of 4.4 pounds, albeit the true capacity is much lower. I've owned heads from Manfrotto, Gitzo, Sunwayfoto and Really Right Stuff and they all greatly exaggerate load capacity. The Manfrotto and Gitzo heads tend to lock securely at about 50% of their rated load capacity. Indeed, I found about 2 LBs to be the true capacity while using the drop slot or at a steep angle. I recently tested a , rated at 26 LB, and found the true capacity to be about 2 LB as well.
LAST BLURB: The weight and space conscious traveler desiring a high quality head for point'n shoot and M4/3 cameras can't go wrong with the G1077M. And it is even better with the Kirk QRC-1 mounted topside, making for fast and secure connections. The Gitzo-Kirk pairing appears OEM and the combined operation is smooth, fast and natural.
Finally, many will question why would anybody in their right mind spend upwards of $160 for a table top tripod. I certainly wouldn't if I didn't already own a G1077M. Nevertheless, this rig is light, fits in my jean pocket and provides amazingly solid support for my Olympus E-P3 camera.


I bought this for tv that failed and had to be replaced anyway.  I don't think I would trust putting the tv on this stand.  Luckily my new tv came with a rotating base so I'm just getting rid of this.


Had this toilet for almost a year now. So far, it hasn't clogged once (the main reason we wanted to get rid of the old one). The flush is very powerful so nothing is left in the bowl, no matter how much is there in the first place. The handle is easy enough to depress that the 3 year old can flush it without help. The elongated bowl is nice - much more comfortable to sit on.


I can't think of anything more fun as a young boy than driving around in a Jeep of my own and if my nephews' reaction to the Fisher-Price Hot Wheels Jeep Wrangler is any indication, they agree. They LOVE (and I mean absolutely without a doubt love) this Jeep more than anything else they have ever played with!
The 6-year-old actually helped put it together (the directions were very easy to follow!) though I suggest using a power screw driver. That would have made the assembly much quicker- there are tons of screws used to put it together! It's helpful to have two people to put it together but not absolutely necessary. This is something to consider if you're planning on assembling this Christmas Eve.
The 6-year-old is a tall 49" but has no problem fitting in the jeep and he learned very quickly how to switch gears between fast, slow and reverse. His brothers (4 and 2) take turns riding as passengers. The middle one can drive it but he's not as confident and savvy as his older brother so he hasn't done much driving yet- he's content to just ride.
The charging process isn't bad at all. You leave the battery in the jeep and unplug the Jeep's power plug and then attach the wall charger plug with the battery still in the jeep. Makes it very easy. We just leave it in the garage and plug it in after every use like they suggest. It runs out of juice after about 1 1/2 -2 hours of constant high-speed driving. I'm actually happy that it requires charging time though or the boys would never want to do anything else.
There's a little battery powered radio that plays music with real buttons to push. My little boys love that feature, especially as passengers. It requires AA batteries that aren't included.
The Jeep maneuvers very well on the sidewalks and on concrete. It has to work a little harder going through grass but still works okay going up small hills around our neighborhood. One drawback is that it is pretty loud andas the boys want to get out and play as soon as they wake up in the morning I worry that they're waking my neighbors up. No complaints yet though!
After about 3 weeks of daily riding it is still in great shape! With 3 boys that is a huge positive in my book and kind of surprising. It's very sturdy and well made.
I definitely recommend this Jeep to anyone with kids. They will love it!


Love this product. Seals well to keep from leaking and you can grip it well with your hand.  Shaker balls is very effective at mixing drinks.


Very functional and quite attractive at my garage door entrance to my house. It really helps that the fibers are effective in getting the dirt off prior to coming in from outside.


This is a handy holder/dispenser for wipes. The opening is large enough that it's easy to insert the wipes. Although the handle would be useful for a stroller, I like to put mine in the glove compartment of my car-so no handle needed. OXO is a brand to be trusted with quality and functionality.


"Transcendence" turned out to be a silly movie about a man whose consciousness is either copied or transferred into a computer (take your pick) and the silly extremes a group of anti-technology terrorists (and eventually the government) have to go through to take him out. It jumps the shark too many times to mention and, worst of all, it didn't even look pretty.


In anticipation of the new film version of "Into the Woods" I decided to take a look at this Tony winning stage production which used the original cast.  It was actually filmed for a television episode of American Playhouse that aired on March 15, 1991.  It is available on DVD and Blu ray.
The story by James Lapine, who also directs, blends together various fairy tale characters (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Jack and others) into one story.  The nexus is the Baker (Chip Zien) and his Wife (Joanna Gleason) and their inability to conceive a child.  The local Witch (Bernadette Peters) agrees to reverse the Wife's "condition" but the couple must bring her 4 items.  A red Cloak, a gold shoe, a white cow and "yellow as corn" hair are her demands.  Somehow these items together would release the curse of the Witch's grotesque features.
Working with one basic stage, the production is pretty rudimentary but is buoyed by the music of the great Stephen Sondheim.  Peters is of course a terrific singer and gets many of the big number including the tearful "Children Will Listen."  I was also taken with Ms. Gleason's humorous take the Baker's wife.  She also has a fine singing voice.  I'm most familiar with her as a supporting actor in numerous films.
The rest of the actors are very good and have seasoned singing voices.  The costumes were pretty original.  I was a bit surprised to see the Wolf's (Robert Westenberg) costume to be anatomically correct below the belt.  This must be a little concerning for some, especially in the first scene where he confronts Little Red Riding Hood (Danielle Ferland).
The DVD is problematic.  The video is washed out and not very pretty to look at.  The editing and direction are pretty good however.  Audio is only available in stereo but it is fine.  The music is great, the story is interesting and the acting is top notch.  I highly recommend going for the Blu ray.


We live in a throw away society, a world where everything is expendable and ready to be tossed aside once we've finished with it. Kids today seem only interested in themselves and what's going on in the present, never caring what happened before they were born. The saddest part of this is the fact that in being this way they never expose themselves to some of the greatest things in the world, everything from classic novels to pieces of art that have survived centuries. With any luck a few of them will watch THE MONUMENTS MEN and consider doing so.
George Clooney stars as Frank Stokes, a military officer in World War II who presents a case to President Roosevelt about the famous works found in museums in Europe. In this presentation he shows Roosevelt famous pieces of art that have gone missing, supposedly taken by Hitler to be put on display when he wins the war in a specially built structure. That is if he doesn't damage them first or if the allies don't damage them while fighting battles from one town to the next. Stokes request is that a special select group of men work to save these pieces of art before they are all destroyed. Given the go ahead, he assembles his team.
The team is small. There aren't that many people qualified or willing to be a part. Each has their own role to play in helping with this seemingly impossible task. Included in the group are James Granger (Matt Damon), Richard Campbell (Bill Murray), Walter Garfield (John Goodman), Jean Claude Clermont (Jean Dujardin), Preston Savitz (Bob Balaban) and Donald Jeffries (Hugh Bonneville). These are the Monuments men, the elite group that sets out to fulfill the task Stokes has set forth. Granger is sent undercover to find out as much information as he can concerning the whereabouts of artwork stolen in France. The rest are split into teams and sent searching for other various artifacts.
Using various methods they accumulate enough knowledge that they discover a patternused in the transport of these works of art. It appears that each location on the map they point out with the clues presented there are underground mines where the art has been stored, at least in part. As the troops move forward, the team accompanies them in an attempt to fulfill their mission. Placing their lives in danger, not all will come home, but each will play his part in this truly historic mission.
This gives you the basic idea of what the movie is about. What it doesn't do is show the admiration these men had for not just the task at hand but the items they were sent to save. While some might find a Rembrandt of a museum quality piece of artwork in a foreign church boring, these men look upon each with reverence and respect. The military might see their job as unworthy of their efforts but a twist results in them finding more than they bargained for.
Based on the true story of this team the movie offers it all. There is plenty of camaraderie among the team, an affection that develops between them as they move forward. There is the awe that each one inspires with the items they find. There is humor in various moments where things can be light hearted. And there is tragedy as some fall to the enemy.
What makes this movie important though is to consider what it was they actually accomplished. To think that some of these pieces might have disappeared (which some actually did) makes their story one of success where few thought it could happen. That they were able to rescue as much as they did is an amazing feat and one that should be lauded. I found it amazing that it took this long for their story to be told.
The movie offers not just great entertainment but a piece of history that all should be made aware of. It's a film that young people should see to realize that there was a world out there before they were born and that many things they take for granted could simply have not been there if not for the efforts ofpeople like this. Ipads, Ipods and Facebook are all great things but not near as great as what these people saved. It would be nice to know that at least a few people in the world appreciate the work that they did. Hopefully young people will find enough interest to watch this movie and feel a bit of that.


This product is made in the US with lots of healthy, nutritious ingredients. One of our dogs, an elderly Shih Tzu, is very picky, and it is difficult to cajole him into eating. He is especially bad about eating anything in the morning. However, when I added a few of these to his breakfast, he ate almost his entire plate!
This food makes him interested in food, and that makes me happy. He has bad teeth, but these are soft enough for him to easily eat. This is worth a try if you have a picky eater.


This is something that has been ultra effective with a few mice situations, and would be something I would consider for outdoors and not inside.We had tried a number of methods including humane methods (live traps were mostly garbage, with the best types giving extremely mixed results), old school methods (these work, but some mice outsmart them), and live animal methods (good, except the cat is sometimes more skilled hunting the Kitty Cuisine), and few have shown the results this has when dealing with outdoor mice. This comes with a station and sixteen refills, and it is easy to use and refill.
I want to note that while it says it is tamper-resistant, I would NOT use it where children are just to be safe, and I could not see using this thing indoors. Personally, I  do not want to be playing "where's the stink coming from?" and do not know many people who do. As with any poison, I also would not use it anywhere that a pet could come in contact with it. These things do not harm the overall product, in fact I think they speak of its effectiveness.
It works really well.


Piece of crap.
You get what you pay for.
I'd recommend going to your local Sally's beauty supply or to a hair place that has nothing but extensions or wigs. I would rather spend an X amount of money for good quality extensions.  Also, the hair feels like wig hair. Not human hair. So when you try to curl it or straighten it, it doesn't do anything and it melts. Returned and bought VP fashion extensions instead.


I cannot recommend this enough.  This is a beautifully organized, clearly written cookbook for just about every kind of marinade you could want, and it also provides you with the framework for making your own marinades, should you wish to do so.  Some of the ingredients, while just a bit out of the ordinary, are not impossible to get and certainly aren't cost-prohibitive.  Of course, not all marinades work equally well with meat/fish/poultry, so Lucy Vaserfirer has made things all that much easier for us by recommending which critters (and which cuts) work best with each particular marinade.  She also has marinades which work well for vegetables.
Calling this a 400-recipe cookbook is a bit silly.  There are 200 marinade recipes and regular recipes which seem also tacked on as an afterthought.  But who cares?  200 different marinades is more than sufficient to make this cookbook a must-have for your kitchen library.


The Great Northern popcorn is good. It's so easy to put into a kettle, that a kid can do it. It makes nice popping sounds that remind you of a movie theater. It brings the flavor of the theater to your home.


This looks the appropriate size foot toy for a blue and gold macaw.  She is brand new adopted, so she hasn't played yet.


This disposal is very quiet, looks great (if only it was meant to be installed in a more visible place ...), and is priced right. You will hear it, but it's more like a purr than the older disposals which sounded like ... well, sounded scary.


1964's KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT, once a political fable, seems less so today. It's still very much a mild-mannered battle of the sexes, a vehicle that Tracy and Hepburn would've had a field day with. Leslie Harrison McCloud (Polly Bergen) - ex-judge, ambassador's daughter, senator's niece - has all the tools in the shed to carve a bright future in Washington, D.C. When a successful campaign has her elected as the U.S. President, her affable husband, Thaddeus (Fred MacMurray), sells his business so he could better serve as the White House's First Gentleman.
Polly Bergen is very good and believable as our Commander-in-Chief. She demonstrates firm command in scenes when she's fulfilling her presidential obligations, but then loosens up in those private moments with her husband. Unfortunately, those private moments come few and far between and don't ever last very long. KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT, for the most part, concerns Thad McCloud's harsh acclimation to his new role. It's a comic study on the trivialization of a man.
Did you know that Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel was modeled after Fred MacMurray? His face, anyway. In this movie, MacMurray starts out less the superhero, more the milquetoast. How out of sorts must he have been, relegated as the man behind the woman, hamstrung from voicing his political opinions? As the First Gentleman, he merits an office (dainty), two secretaries (old), and certain tasks (emasculating) expected of his post. One of these tasks becomes a send-up of Jacqueline Kennedy's famous televised White House tour.
Another is fairly crucial to the plot. When odious dictator of a third world country, President Raphael Valdez (a cartoonish Eli Wallach), calls on the White House to demand a fiscal loan, the U.S. President's delaying tactic has her assigning her husband to escort him around D.C. I'm not saying that this is an awful idea...
Thad is accused by an adversarial senator of incompetence, of sabotaging foreign relations, of sullying the presidential office. Good for Thad, he gets a shot at redemption at the senate hearing. But there's also tension from the matrimonial front. His wife being so preoccupied all the time, Thad has taken to spending (platonic) time with an old flame (Arlene Dahl). She's been cozying up to him, she who runs an empire of man's cologne. She extends him a business proposition that he mulls over, and you The viewer are left talking to the screen. "You silly dupe!" I heard you say.
One more sub-plot, and it's an interesting one. It's to do with the McCloud children and how they start to act up. The elementary-grade son (Ronnie Dapo) starts bullying his classmates and even his teacher because he thinks his Secret Service bodyguards will back him up. The teenaged daughter (Anna Capri) and her boyfriend are all the time getting pulled over for speeding and she's been pulling the "My mom's the President" card to get out of tickets. The resolution is pretty mundane. That these kids act up the way they do makes for a fairly fascinating exercise in psychology. It certainly lends depth and dramatic content to the narrative.
The timing of the theatrical premiere sucked so bad. KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT bombed, and maybe it shouldn't have had. It certainly presents a plentitude of amusing moments and the two leads work well in concert. But the subject matter was a touchy thing in 1964, what with Kennedy's assassination having taken place only less than a year before. An American nation, perturbed and knackered still, probably didn't have it in it to chuckle along. It's almost as bad form as that old joke: "So how'd you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" 3.5 out of 5 stars. I took half a star off because of the very disappointing sell-out ending.


I need to secure thin metal panels to a kitchen drywall located above a bank of cabinets.  Just in case I encounter a metal stud I want a good metal screw like this.  The little phillips head fit snugly into my phillips head bit on my drill.  The screw dug into a metal drywall stud without issue.  My house has metal studs not wood. The heads of the screws give my metal screen dscor accent a nice finished look.  I had no problem with these screws breaking off.  For the price you get a lot of these screws.


I have discovered that if I just START doing one of these I finish it (8 minutes isn't very long after all) THEN I am energized and feel like doing more or a different DVD for more workout time.  I do at least 2 of these daily now and ALWAYS end with the stretch segment as it flows so easily and feels SO good.  24 stretches in 8 minutes!  It gets my day going.
Gosh, I don't know which set I like best.  I feel all of them the next day but in a good way.  I think I have felt fast changes in my arms and abs but I do like the buns and thighs segments as well.  The buns segment does the NINE best glute exercises in 45 seconds each.  Ha!  You WILL sweat!  The instructor shows one way and the two people behind her show intermediate and advanced ways for the exercises so you can take your pick.  The camera person gets an A+ for showing the entire body on these exercises.  The hardest part of any exercise is to START.  This DVD is SO worth it!


My husband has several smallish skin tags around his neck and has been applying 3 times/day Dr. King's Natural Skin tag remover.  The instructions say to apply it 3 times each day for 4 to 6 weeks.  I have to give this product a review before then, so all I can say is that it smells like turpentine.  My husband waved the open bottle under my nose and asked me what I thought it smelled like and it definitely smelled like turpentine.  The active ingredient listed is: Thuja occidentalis.  According to Wikipedia it is this:
  Thuja occidentalis is an evergreen coniferous tree, in the cypress family Cupressaceae, which is native to the northeast of the United States and the southeast of Canada, but widely cultivated as an ornamental plant.
There's a lot more said about it, but it's a tree.  He will continue the treatment as instructed on the box, but in all honesty, dental floss is a lot easier, cheaper and a lot quicker when it comes to removing skin tags.


I think this case is excellent.  It's not perfect but to improve any major element would require tradeoffs.
*The open-close turn on and shut off feature works on my case, no issues.
*The folio is thin and easy to tote around, a necessity.  If the inside material were improved much, it might be a thickness tradeoff.
*The many positions of the stand, actually more than six, works very well for me.
*The typing position is good in my view as long as I don't actually rest my hands at all on the case.  Otherwise it's not strong enough.
*Accessibility of inputs/outputs and buttons is as good as it probably gets while also having an unobtrusive scheme for securing iPad.
*The iPad is very secure in this case, another necessity.
*Outside leather material feels good and appears to be well-stitched.  Inside material is thin and lightweight while not being so nice.
This is a good case overall.  The best thing about it is the good feel of it and the fact it secures the iPad while being small and lightweight.


These are exact duplicates of small, outdoor infrared security lights. (Be aware, they are not very big...more like spot-security cams.) They are very convincing. My husband used to work security at a casino and he says...Don't put in the batteries. Real security cameras like this don't have lights. If you want to attract attention to them (that's what the light is supposed to do) buy a set of Video Security signs/stickers. Anyone reading them will look for the cameras.


I am going to be very honest with this review.  I thought I had "flipped" when I even considered this fountain for my cats much less decided to purchase it.  They have had a plastic fountain for a long time but I noticed they were drinking less even in the heat we are having and the filter just was not really up to par.  Well, we have had this fountain a week now and it is worth every penny it costs.  The fountain is heavy and even my 18 pounder does not push it around.  The water is so clear I cannot believe it and all I have been doing is refilling it, and there is no "slimy" feel to the sides or top of the fountain like the plastic.  It does cost a lot, at least to me, but I am truly glad I made this purchase for my very picky older pets. They love it too. Also, it comes very well packaged both by the manufacturer and then Amazon makes sure it is even safer.


The product is functional, but not exactly what i have expected. It looks like made of cheap material, have some paint chips and rusty parts... it is still usable though...


Already had these batteries and love em. At the time thought they came with a charger that could only charge one at a time.
This double charger is fantastic. It charges two at once and the unit is smaller than the single charger. Only comes with a USB cable though. The single chargers have the ability to plug directly into the wall. There are of course ways around that.


The price on this 3-pack was very good.  It took me awhile to getting around to watching them, but once I've started, I can't stop!  I'm glad I got all three, and they are in new or near-new condition.  I'll enjoy them for many years!


This "8 GB Metal Gun USB Drive" is perfect for any firearm enthusiast! The metal pistol is a little larger than it appears in the product picture, but the full size USB connector is a good indication of the actual size.
The all metal gun actually provides decent protection for the flash drive that stores in the "grip" like a pistol magazine. The drive is held in fairly securely by friction and is easily removable when needed. This does not appear to be the fastest USB drive I have tried, but it works just fine for documents and pictures.
The drive is a great novelty that has practical functionality as well!
Highly Recommended!

I can't believe they don't have this at our local music store.  I'm glad I found it here.  If you or your kids have a violin, you should try this.


Disclosure: Played as a PSN download
It seems TellTale has found, and mastered, a niche: Take a comic book (okay, okay...'graphic novel'), and make it interactive by turning it into a video game. While that rarely seems to work when a company tries to do the same with a movie, TellTale has expanded on what they did perfectly with The Walking Dead and given gamers and comic book fans alike another fantastic release with The Wolf Among Us.
The Wolf Among Us is based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book series. And unlike The Walking Dead where the characters were mostly different but lived in a parallel time period as the characters in the source material, the characters in The Wolf Among Us are straight out of the source material. I was a huge fan of The Walking Dead comic before I played the TellTale game, but I have not read the Fables comics, so I cannot confirm whether or not the game follows the comic book storyline. My understanding is that it does not, but I'll come back and clarify that once I do indeed confirm.
But like The Walking Dead Game, you certainly don't have to have read the comics to enjoy this game; just be sure that you are planning to get into and be part of a story-rich experience. And here's the gist: Turns out that fairy tale creatures created in writing (or film) actually `come to life', and many of them have taken residence in an area of New York City called...you guessed it... Fabletown. The sheriff, Bigby Wolf, that's right..."Big Bad Wolf," is protector of all the Fabletown characters, and when one of them is murdered, you take on the role of Sheriff Bigby and try to figure out whodunit.
Along the way in just the first episode you'll meet characters from stories such as Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs, Snow White, The Wind in the Willows, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Beauty and the Beast, Beowulf, The Wizard of Oz and a couple of other popular (and not so popular) fairy tales. But these characters are a bit...shall we say...out of character as they curse, party hearty and behave quite differently from that in which the stories that created them. The game earns its M rating.
There are plenty of action sequences, but your time in this game is mostly spent literally being a part of the story making some tough (and some not so tough) decisions. It's the tough decisions that will affect how the rest of the game unfolds for you, and you'll have to live with the consequences of every option you choose.
TellTale has done it again: The Wolf Among Us is excellent...especially for just a point and click. It's a gritty and graphic interactive comic book, and it's very story-rich. The graphics are appropriately very comic-bookesque. And as far as gameplay, I really do feel like I'm a character in a comic book! You might not like this game if shooters or action games are your thing. You will love this game if you read comics and graphic novels as I do. Check this game out, or I'll huff and I'll puff and....


I still gave to buy tracks. But brio nakes a good child's toy. A bit pricey. But nice. I like the battery operated engines, to just watch go around the track under Christmas tree.


Every single thing about this game sucks! Without knowing what I was in for,I bought this at a local video store about five years ago for like eight bucks,and oh my god,I hated myself for planting down eight dollars for this complete waste.It's not even worth eight cents! I threw the game in the trash,because unfortunatly the damn video store would not refund my money,so I just tossed it right out.The game is terrible.The gameplay is god awful,the music and sounds suck and the characters are just a total joke. Hands down.Worst fighting game of all time.Even Shaq Fu isn't this bad.At least Shaq Fu has a "so bad,it's good thing" going for it. Kabuki Warriors is just bad period.Avoid this AT ALL COSTS!!!


less than a week, flat again. Brand new bike rim and tire, kind of frustrating but who knows, I only ride street and couldnt find any thorns of screws.


I actually expected a metal scale, not 100% plastic. The buttons are very stiff and sometimes take a few presses to work. Plus I wanted a scale - not an eating program. This is the first kitchen scale I have seen with an 11 lb capacity that does not display lbs/oz. For example, I want to see 5 lbs 8 oz. Not 5.5 lbs. I should not have to convert fractions to ounces every time. The only other option is all ounces, but then I have to calculate 16 oz per pound. Yea, it's simple - but it's a pain.  I actually expected this scale to real lbs/oz. If I could I would return it, but Amazon hits for restocking and shipping. Not worth the loss. So much for the product's satisfaction guarantee.


I purchased 5 different types of seeds from ROBsRAREandGIANTseeds. 2 different types of blueberry plant seeds, 1 type of strawberry plant seed, 1 type of blackberry plant seed & 1 type of watermelon plant seed. ALL of these seeds were sown in a plant house environment. The only seed that sprouted was a single watermelon plant. Not a single blueberry, blackberry or strawberry plant sprouted from the seeds purchased from ROBsRAREandGIANTseeds.
At the same time as planting the seeds listed above, I also planted several tomato, cucumber & pepper plants seeds that were purchased from another supplier. They all grew as expected
DO NOT BUY SEEDS FROM ROBsRAREandGIANTseeds IF YOU EXPECT THEM TO ACTUALLY SPROUT & GROW. THESE WERE THE WORST SEEDS THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!!!!!!


This is exactly the item I needed for my podcasting rig.  It holds my Behringer mixer along with my compressor and my vocal processing box.  It lets me move the whole thing easily out of the way when I need to use my table for something besides podcasting.
The stand is easy to assemble and is very well built.  There's nothing bad I can say about it, if you need to hold some audio gear then have no reservations about picking one of these up.  Highly recommended.


My newborn is too strong to be wrapped in this swaddle wrap. It is small and tight on the top and short at the bottom.
It feels like a straitjacket if I force his arms inside. My son is about the average weight and height of a newborn, 7 lbs 14 oz, 21 inches.
I used it with his arms sticking out for about two weeks, then we moved on to fleece sleeping sacks with sleeves.
Not a very good purchase. Buy baby sleeping bags instead. Child can have more wiggling space inside it.


Great for free!  The TV was actually fine for sound, but this does add some depth and it is connected to the TV via Bluetooth, which is nice.  Also, turns on and off automatically with the TV, which is nice as well.


In 1972 director Francis Ford Coppola made one of the greatest movies ever done THE GODFATHER. Using the clout he developed from that film he made another classic that didn't get near the intention. That movie has just arrived in blu-ray format. Its name is THE CONVERSATION.
Gene Hackman stars as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert with a reputation for being able to record anyone, anywhere. The film opens with Harry and his crew recording a conversation between a young couple in an open air park. Using various pieces of equipment from parabolic microphones to microphones hidden in bags they put together each to come up with a conclusive piece of work.
But the movie isn't all about this conversation. It's more about Harry himself. As portrayed by Hackman, Harry Caul is a loner, a man without much in his life with the exception of his work. He does have a girlfriend (Teri Garr) that he provides for and sees on occasion. But there is this underlying nagging fear we witness in Caul that has him keeping people at arms length including the people who work for him. Harry Caul is a classic paranoid individual but one who knows how easy it is to gain access to the details in a person's private life. Knowing this means Harry realizes how vulnerable we all truly are and how susceptible each person is to being watched.
As the pieces come together on the project Harry is working on he begins to wonder about what he's recording. Filters are used to fine tune each piece, to bring together a comprehensive conversation where no words are distorted or left out. In the past Harry has made a practice of not becoming involved, in not listening to the things he was recording. But as he puts this one together, he begins to worry that perhaps this couple is about to be killed by his employer.
When he goes to give the tape to his employer he is first pushed aside by his aide played by a young Harrison Ford. Eventually he meets with the man portrayed by Robert Duval. Paid for his services Harry leaves but still feels concern about what will happen.
Going to a trade show of security and surveillance experts, one of Harry's employees is there working on the side with another expert. Bernie Moran (Allan Garfield) is perhaps second only to Caul. But rather than downplay his expertise, he's capitalized on it becoming a major player and manufacturer of electronic surveillance equipment.
Eventually Harry is talked into allowing Moran and friends up to the loft he uses where they work. Moran continues to push Harry trying to find out how he did a particular job back east that resulted in the deaths of several people. But the reclusive Harry holds back, acting rather shy with the group. When it's revealed that Moran placed a microphone on Harry in an ink pen, Harry explodes and orders everyone out.
Still concerned with the conversation he recorded Harry checks into the hotel where the couple said they would meet. Taking the room next door, he overhears an argument and then witnesses through a frosted pane of glass someone being murdered. Plagued with these images it tears at him.
When he tries to confront the man who hired him, Harry is turned away. To give away what happens during the final portion of the film would be akin to telling you who the mother was in PSYCHO.
The film is a dive into the mind of a man who peers into the private lives of other and who attempts to not have a private life of his own for fear someone will do the same to him. This lone individual with a conscious is doing unconscionable things, but continues to do so to make a living. It is brilliantly made and perhaps one of Coppola's best films but overlooked by many.
Hackman gives an outstanding performance. His role could have been played over the top with rages and flamboyance but instead Harry Caul has more depth in the slow moving actions and scenes that have him doing nothingmore than listening than many actors offer when chewing scenery all around them. His role here should have landed him an Oscar.
While the movie was overlooked in many ways for years fans have had the chance to find it as it has been released in formats from VHS to DVD. Now that it's available on blu-ray it is one that should be added to the collection of any die hard movie fan. And if you're a fan of Coppola or Hackman you should be out there picking up a copy as soon as you finish reading this piece.


I wouldn't say this was my favorite cereal, but it was very good. I rather liked this flavor, but everyone else in my house didn't. I thought it was crunchy, and it didn't taste like bananas at all but it tasted great anyway. I would suggest to people, but only people who like whole grain goods.


I was looking at bean bags and almost bought a cheaper one but I am glad I spent a little more time looking at the less positive reviews on the bag I almost bought. They complained of cheapness and odor (like chemical odors). I certainly didn't want something from China off-gassing in my house. Once of the reviews recommended a Cozy Sack instead, so I looked those up and found this item.
I ordered a 4' navy bag and it arrived today. I thought the packaging was a bit small and that it might not be big enough, but after taking it out and letting the foam absorb some air, it might even be too big for my originally desired use. It was a bit of a struggle to get it out of the tight packaging without using a knife or blade, but I managed.
And fortunately it doesn't stink of chemicals (unless you put your nose right up to it and take a big whiff)! If it did my wife would have had me remove it right away (she is very sensitive to that).
My 6 year old son immediately started jumping on it from a couch and had a blast. He then settled down on it and played some games on an iPad, so there's no doubt he likes it.
I'm happy I spent a little more for what is most likely a significantly better quality bag that has a removable & washable cover. I'm also happy that I am supporting jobs in the USA, which I don't mind at all doing when they offer a higher quality product that is worth the additional cost over cheaper & lower quality Chinese made products.
Unfortunately the 4' was too big for us but the customer service was excellent and helped us convert it into 2x 2' bag chairs by exchanging the cover & bags. I transferred the foam 'stuffing' from the 4' to the 2x 2' bags.
By the way, currently the photo for the 2' navy bag with the child sitting on it shows a lighter blue color. The actual color is a darker navy blue as you might expect.
Here's some size info:
The 2' size has a diameter of 34" and is 20" high
The 3' size has a diameter of 44" and is 24" high.
The 4' size has a diameter of 48" and is 27" high.
The 5' size has a diameter of 48" and is 40" high.
So 5 stars from me... should anything change then I'll definitely update this review.


I am 6'1".  I love it.  I take it for walks with the dog so I don't have to pick up dog poo through a plastic bag.  Not a fan of touching it, even if there's a bag between me and the poop.  That said, my wife does not love it.  She thinks it is too big/long to carry around.  The smaller size one is probably good enough, but this is good if you have a lab or large dog.  We have a lab and if she goes #2 multiple times on a walk, I'm glad I have this one and not a smaller one.
Very well built, have owned for a few years now and is is showing no signs of wear.  I also use this to pick up our yard.  I like it a lot and would recommend.


I bought a new pair from a gal at work for $15.  They were too narrow for her, and even though I usually need wide width, they fit perfectly.  So I came to Amazon and bought two more pairs in different colors.  They feel really great, look really cute, and I really like them.


Great little remote for basic functions (though what I received is quite different from the picture, at least cosmetically). The Sony TV and Time-Warner cable box codes were accepted on first try.  Then it was time to add the Sony DVD player, and the instruction sheet offered 8 codes. I went through the first seven with exponentially diminishing hopes--until I was down to a barely flickering futile flame.  Wouldn't you know--#8 was the right code!  Proof there's a god after all!  (All the same, if none of the numbers works, there's another form of entry to try called "Code Search.")
Lesson learned. Never give up--never.  But if you're struggling with this inexpensive gadget for more than 20 minutes, don't hesitate to toss it.  Life is too short--and the distance between me and my TV isn't really that long.  Moreover, there's no way to store favorite channels--even a mere several. That wouldn't be a problem were it not for Time-Warner's 2000-channel line-up (and of course the HD channels are all up in the 4-digit zone).
Anyway, this $5 toy is a potentially useful "spare."  (Don't lose the instruction sheet!)
[The price has gone down even more!  For Pete's sake (and anyone else in the family), pick up several of these as stocking stuffers.  Every American deserves their own remote (for example, to turn on, or off, Chumley) . And teachers, take notice.  When doing a frame-by-frame, close analysis of "Citizen Kane" (Charlie's attempt to push away Mr. Thatcher with his sled), or "On the Waterfront" (Brando's "could've been a contender" speech"), or "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (the prototype for Scorcese's "Shutter Island"), let the students do the work (they learn more that way).]


Typical movie tie-in: running, equipping, shooting, collecting. We tired of this game after about a half hour of play.  Not rewarding at all.  This is not much different from the days of bad movie titles on the original NES which seemed to be all based on the running/jumping/collecting variety.  Rent this or get it dirt cheap.


Nesting like they do and being sturdier than your average pail is good. The handle on the biggest one has a tendency to pop off, which is a little lame, considering that these are pretty pricy. But they worked well for sand, water, and collecting shells.


Maybe because the clay soil is like a rock or maybe because my moles have become highly educated but I've not snagged one mole in three weeks. I have tunnels everywhere and holes all over my yard but no dead moles. The trap seems like a good idea and it's well constructed but I don't think it's made for my area of the country. It's difficult as crud to set with the hard soil but once set it has never tripped. I've moved it to different locations but still no luck. The design seems like a good idea so maybe it'll work in your area. I'm going to keep trying and if I get positive results I will correct this review. Not recommended for clay soils.


We bought a house that already had a hot water tap in it, we replaced it with the same insinkerator brand and it only lasted a couple years. After reading the reviews on this product, I decided to order it. It's still too early to tell what I think about it, but so far so good.


This is a must have for my household first aid kit! I have two very active children and between sports and life's little accidents in general, we put this stuff to good use.
Cuts, scrapes, skinned knees, burns, minor wounds- it works well for them all. This helps protect, disinfect and treat the affected area.
I love this stuff and have had to use it myself too. It works great!


I strongly recommend this surge protector for anyone looking for a multi-outlet strip that handles larger plugs/plugs with transformers at the plug-in point.
I was looking for a power strip that could handle several plugs, some of which are so big that they would cover other neighboring outlets, all while the strip was mounted to the wall. This protector easily fit the bill. I looked at several squid-style protectors, but they usually didn't have enough outlets. Not only does this have eight rotating outlets, it has four more stationary outlets in the center for an incredible twelve outlets.
The unit was also simple to mount to the wall. I just used a few screws that I had sitting around and some drywall anchors and had the plug mounted on the wall in minutes. I am not any sort of do-it-yourself expert.
Finally, one of the really great—but perhaps less-noticed—features of this strip is its cord organizer. The clip on the bottom is an easy way to tuck away all of your cords and send them off in the same direction. Not only does that make it easier to, for example, use some other cord system on the bundle of plugs (like a tube or zip ties), it helps keep the cords neat even if you don't use any other cord-management tools.
This is particularly useful if, for example, you're using this strip for an aquarium or other water-related project, because the clip helps you make a drip loop without having to add more holes to the wall, etc.
In sum, this is a great power strip. I strongly recommend it to others.


I have just started using this powder by making it in my own capsule form. I use size "00". It's a little early to comment on the actual benefits as I am early in the regiment. The batch I received was light in color and most definitely bitter. I have used some 200:1 powder from a different supplier but, have noticed no significant difference between the two, other than color, the 200:1 was darker. I am impressed by the careful and professional packaging by Hard Rhino. While this may seem insignificant, usually those who take pride in their product also take pride in their packaging. I would and have bought other powders from Hard Rhino. I do however have one suggestion and that would be to clearly indicate the Country of Origin from where the powders come from. This is as much a part of the evaluation process as the effectiveness of the product itself.


I LOVE that these are "Press-it Seal-it" envelopes!  I love that they are sturdy, durable envelopes!  I have never had a problem with them, and these are the ones I buy over and over again.  Mead makes dependable office products, and these are some of the best.  I remember when I used to have to use a damp washcloth to seal Mead envelopes…this is a much more speedy and easy way of doing things!  I highly recommend them!


I have issues with my local home depot. It is one of the smaller ones and does not stock as much variety as the others. Thanks to Amazon and Pentair Water Filitration This is the exact product I need every 3 months and guess, what they have a reminder and a program that will automatically send you a new filter. Good product, quick delivery second time I have used them.


I've enjoyed this movie for many, many years in reruns on Turner Classic Movies and late shows on local channels.  It is a War Bond movie made quickly at the outset of WWII to encourage Americans to support the war effort against Japan.  It offers a sentimental story line along with comedy relief and action.  I have been waiting a long time to get this on DVD and I am thrilled to add it to my collection.


Have 5 cats, a couple of whom are "fussy." I use Dr.Elsey's low-dust litter and put Citrus Magic odor altering dust on. This usually works, but every so often, the cats, of different ages go on strike (As in: where should I pee today? Is next to the box as good as in the box? Maybe I should raise my tail over the edge today?). Vet says this is not uncommon with such a mixed bunch of rescues.
However, cat pheromone works wonders and even my 3 yr old very unfriendly (not handled as a babe I think), is starting to PURR, roll over, let me tickle her belly. Oh joy!
Pricey, but worth it to have content critters.
It works better on some than others...but all seem to benefit.


Not a lot to say except:  it works!  Makes it SO much easier to tune my violins when the pegs don't  want to stick.  This gives the grip needed.


Buying a travel system can be confusing. I went to Graco's website and still had a hard time telling why some cost more than others and I always find that it's something silly like adjustable height for the handle or something.  I have this system  to compare to.    So what do you get?  A car seat.  A base for the car seat.  A stroller.    The stroller is going to have the most feature difference between all the travel systems.  This stroller has one hand closing system. There is a button in the middle of the handlebar of the stroller that you push. Turn the the handle (where the button is attached) and then let go. Then you can use the same hand to pull the tray towards you and it closes. And it stays upright.    I can't open it one-handed though.    The other Graco system I mentioned above had the handle in the base of the stroller that you pull and and it folds (almost lifting it). I like this one better.    This system has locks for the front wheels if you don't want them to swivel (manual mentions grass).    The storage area is bigger on this system.    The base is different also. The old base I have has a bubble-level to get the seat in the car at the right angle. The problem with that is that there is so much leeway that it was useless.    This system does away with the bubble and has a red line on the base that must be level with the ground. I would get a level and hold it against that red line.    The car seat is good (and pretty much the same as other snugrides) and highly recommended from multiple sources.    The click-connect is really nice and we can use the old bases we have.


Bottles are great and the labels for ML/oz are white text on blue background which is easy to read!  some other dr. brown bottles I ordered from amazon are hard to read the ML/oz!


This kit was easy to attach to my Medela Symphony 2, which made it easy to get started. I appreciated this, since I ended up pumping earlier than I'd intended to, due to the infant needing supplementation in the early days.  I'd started out with a pump provided by insurance. Once I ordered this system and started pumping, my output (on the same day I'd used the hospital pump)  doubled.  Definitely worth the investment if you need to maximize milk production.


I use this when I am making large dishes that require lots of cut veggies.  It take a bit of time to clean, but cleans up well.  The blade is really sharp, so I love the protective food holder, but in one case where I didn't want the 4 little holes, I used some cut-resistant gloves.
