] | Pro: I think this dress is beautiful. My daughter wore it on her SK graduation and looked precious in it. We received many compliments on the dress. Great quality! I love the dress.Con: Delivery time. It was so late on delivery. I really didn't think we would end up having in time for her grad and even bought an alternative dress. I attempted to cancel the order several times but the order wouldn't cancel even though it had not been sent yet. Customer service was helpful when I called and the dress came the next day after waiting a month! Overall, I was thrilled to have the dress. | 4 | pros and cons | 1,306,368,000 | 05 26, 2011 |

] | I actually got an old copy out of my library. My almost 8 year old hit a wall in reading this year after being behind since 1st grade and meeting one on one with a reading specialist 5x /week since last spring (over 1 year). No one could understand why he could consistently sound out "normal" words (even long ones) but couldn't seem to 'get' contracted words like I'd right or any short sight words like he/she/it/the/there.... Consistently would goof these up and interchange then without any regard to the letters??? After some testing (but not for dyslexia)and meeting with special ed committee we were told orton-gillingham probably would not really help as he seems to know all of his sounds and was a great "sounder-outer" but often missed the little words/ wrote fo instead of of consistently/ lost his place when switching lines or pages in text/low fluency rate... While we haven't formally tried the method in this book yet I am willing to give it a shot. My husband read it and it prompted an enlightening discovery as to what he 'sees' and how he pictures things when he reads versus what I do (and we are both well educated/high honors students). He certainly saw many similarities to himself when reading this and was rather shocked that I didn't do the same things. I was a bit concerned by the anecdotal evidence and the way it may come off as an infomercial type thing but I think part of that is the forced simplicity for the understanding of its readers (mainly parents trying to understand their child). I have not contacted the Davis specialist in our area (an hour and 1/2 drive) so I can not speak to the cost/rip-off that others have stated but it seems to me if you are willing to read the book and try some the things mentioned in it it is more or less the core of the program right there. I think the heart of the matter is there are different types of dyslexia with a variety of symptoms and you just have to find something that 'fits'; in that vain I certainly would not spend $3000 if I wasn't pretty damn sure it would help. If what you're doing isn't helping spend the $10, read the book,try a few of the exercises and make a more informed decision. It appears as though there is not a sliver bullet and anything will take work and time. | 4 | one of many good books | 1,308,096,000 | 06 15, 2011 |

I put it together and told my son to lay on it for the first time, he is 150 lb. he didn't lay his whole weigh when it already cracked. I e-mailed customer service and very quickly had a response, i had to pack it back into the original box and leave it at the front porche for pickup and refund.

He bounces away and loves to spin the little clear ball. The toys come off if they pull to hard but attach easily and aren't a choking hazard. My favorite thing is that there is enough room around the tray to pile a ton of toys. My son is learning to throw so we pile as many toys as we can on there and he loves throwing them off to get to the toys that are attached to the tray. This is a must have for any mother with an active and picky baby. | 4 | Worth Every Penny | 1,066,176,000 | 10 15, 2003 |

That helps me with my own genealogy by providing some really good resources I hadn't found before.The Nova Scotia map on pp 52-53 was especially helpful in following the author's travels.I had read the author's "Finding Anne Marie" on-line, but appreciated the inclusion here to help tie the genealogy with the geography and geopolitical information.

Further, you cannot include the file name or the date with any of the new HTML photo galleries.No matter how I try to crop an image and save it, either with the Quick Fix or the Standard editor, it gives me an error message and says it can't save it. I now have to use another program to do my cropping. This new version is a piece of crop (sic).I wasted my money and many hours of time on this upgrade.And to add salt to the wound, all the work I've done on my catalogs since upgrading will have to be done again in PSE4 because the catalogs are not compatible and there is no way to save a PSE5 catalog in PSE4 format. | 3 | Best features from PSE4 removed | 1,169,337,600 | 01 21, 2007 |

] | I have used the 855 regularly for the past two years, both around town and on trips and I have a love/hate relationship with it.I call it a "Gremlin" because it seems to do things I don't want it to do when I don't expect it, like route me onto a bike path when I have it set for "automobile", have it route me along a street that is closed off, or pass through intersections with roads it doesn't know about.CONSWhat I hate the most is the estimated arrival time feature doesn't account for stoplights or stop signs. How it thinks I can get across the city without stopping at at least one light or stop sign is beyond me. As such, it always gives wildly optimistic arrival time estimates, when it should add 30 seconds for each intersection with a similarly sized road.The voice recognition never even came close to working. I have lived in the mid-Atlantic states all my life, so don't have a strong accent, but I think it has only understood two words ... total. I tried to call tech support, but they wouldn't even talk to me until I had downloaded the latest software, which was only a couple months old. Their hours are inconvenient, too, so too bad if you are on the road and have a problem outside normal business hours.The Points of Interest is very frustrating. It only knows about half the nearby restaurants, and didn't know about a 150-year-old, large Catholic Church.The updated maps are outrageously expensive, at about $75 for lifetime updates, which you have to get because not only do you need to know about changed highways, but it also knows about the temporary highway detours, which it will make you follow until you update your maps. With Google Maps on your phone, your maps are always up to date and are free.It shows the speed limit most of the time. Why it can't show it all the time is beyond me, because it has to know what the speed limit is, or it couldn't estimate the arrival time. If it isn't a posted speed limit, then it should have a different color background or something to let you know what it thinks it is.It is completely clueless about HOV (carpool) lanes. It won't route you on them except on weekends, regardless of whether you have the carpool feature enabled or disabled or what times a road is reserved for carpools. Around Washington, DC, this is a major drawback because several of the major roads have HOV restrictions, but never taking them at all you would never get anywhere. Then, when you finally do get it to navigate you to a carpool lane, and you take its advice, it can't tell that you are on it, and assumes that you didn't follow its directions, so navigates you according to the main lanes, which has different exits. To top it off, it doesn't have the correct speed limit for the I 395 carpool lanes, so the arrival times are off. Again, the customer support person had no clue how the thing was supposed to work for carpool lanes and was absolutely no help, so I had to figure everything out by trial and error.Don't bother trying to correct the navigation errors. There are so many and customer support is no help at all. They just say they aren't responsible for the maps, so you are on your own. Even if you did submit a change, there is no way of knowing when the change is implemented, so you are stuck never getting it, or shelling out the $75 for unlimited map downloads and hope they get to it in under a year.Occasionally it freezes, and I have to remove the battery to get it working again. It also seems to have a problem if you try to get it to acquire satellites where it can't see them because, even after you move to a window or outside, it can take five minutes for it to finally get its bearings.PROSI do like having a GPS in the car with me all the time, mounted in front of me. I haven't used any other GPS long enough to know if others are better. I do like the big screen (compared to a phone's screen). I like its detour feature, which allows you to pick how far ahead the blockage is. I also like the ability to automatically optimize the stop points in a route.Overall, it is kind of like MS Windows -- can't live without it, but living with it is frustrating. | 3 | A Gremlin, not a Garmin | 1,310,256,000 | 07 10, 2011 |

We almost always use the 58 minute cycle for white bread, and sometimes throw in some rye, flax, etc., and it always comes out perfectly. It takes about ten minutes from start to turning on the machine. We adjusted the 58 minute cycle recipe amount of water to 1 cup plus 3 TBSP, and that seems to work well. We also don't use as much yeast, unless the yeast is older - we use up to 2 tsp LESS. Spray the liner with non-stick cooking spray first, and the bread slides out easily. I also set the timer for 13 minutes, which is the first pause of the machine after initial mixing and before baking, to remove the mixing paddle, so there's no hole in the bottom of the bread. Buy your yeast (keep it refrigerated and protected from light) and bread flour at Costco, and your loaves will cost less than 50 cents each to make, including the cost of the electricity. With bread at almost $4 a loaf, having one of these is economical as well as healthy. The bread doesn't preserve as long as store-bought, but it tastes good enough that it's usually all gone before that can become an issue. | 5 | Can't kill it | 1,301,529,600 | 03 31, 2011 |

] | I've given this four stars because it seems quite warm. I know these birds have fairly high normal temperatures, and she hasn't squawked when I placed her onto the perch, but she immediately gets off. And this is a bird who loves warm feet. She spends almost the entire day in the winter sitting on the top of the TV, so her feet will be warm. She has had a warming light in her cage for years, but during the day in winter, likes the TV. So I'm concerned the perch might be too warm for her. I was surprised at how warm it is. I wish I had some effective means of measuring the temperature of it, but we don't have one of those guns that measures temperatures. We turned off her cage light, to encourage her to try the heated perch, but even on the coldest nights, we haven't found her using it, or found anything under it to show she used it. The perch seems to be nicely made. We had no trouble installing it, and at 7 watts, it's certainly a power-saver over the 50 watt bulb on 24 hours a day. But the only thing she's done so far, and we've just passed a month of the perch in her cage, is that on cooler nights she'll move over on her old perch to the same side of the cage as the heated perch, but stay on her old perch, which spans the width of the cage. The new perch is only about an inch from her old one. We installed the new one at the same height as the old one. Our weather is warming, now, so we don't expect many cool nights from here on through the summer, so we'll try again in the fall. I'll leave it there, but unplugged, for the summer, and see if she takes to it unheated. If so, we'll try plugging it in next fall, to see if she just doesn't like the temperature on her feet. | 4 | Cockatiel not yet thrilled; no surprise there | 1,400,025,600 | 05 14, 2014 |

] | My 86 year old aunt, who had read daily all her life, often a book a day, developed macular degeneration and could no longer see well enough to read. It was a huge loss for her, emotionally. She tried audio books and hand magnifiers. The audiobooks didn't really thrill her, though she used them, but the hand magnifiers were too unwieldy. She fell into a depression, after she went through the audio book collection in her local library, and read everything. So I did some research looking at various devices that might work for her, and finally settled on this Kindle DX. I gave it to her for her birthday in July, and she's been avidly reading since. She is so thrilled with being able to read again. Her mood has brightened substantially, and she's her old self again. She ultimately will lose more of her sight, but the degeneration is moving slowly enough that this should last her for 2-3 years, and when the time comes, then it can read the books to her with the built-in audio. I set up an Amazon account for her, to which I also have access, and I'll go in and add free books I think she might find interesting, so she's always got something to read. She doesn't read at her old speed anymore, but she can read, and that makes the world of difference to her, to be able to read on her own again. | 5 | My aunt with macular degeneration can read again! | 1,348,444,800 | 09 24, 2012 |

The size shows as Queen, but upon receipt the size of the Queen shows on the package as Full/Queen, so it's a small Queen size of 86" x 86". While that's technically Queen size, it's the smallest size considered a Queen, and far too small for my Queen down comforter. Had I known it was a Full/Queen I wouldn't have purchased it. That said, it is soft and the fabric is very thin, so if you're looking for something that protects without adding much weight, this works well. If I could change the number of stars I gave this product at first, I would change it to three or four, but apparently that's not possible. | 1 | Small Queen Duvet Cover | 1,170,028,800 | 01 29, 2007 |

] | This is my third pair of actual Crocs. The other two pair were a women's flats in two different colors, and I love them, but at my age, I need a little more padding for long shopping trips. So I got these classic Crocs. The Navy color is perfect, and true to the image shown. I ordinarily wear a 7 1/2 M and followed the advice to order the next full size down, so a 7M, and they fit very well except for one issue that might only apply to someone like me who has a long second toe and who wears a size 7M. There are holes at the base of the front around the edge, as clearly seen in the photo. The holes on both the left and right shoe line up in such a way that my second toe ends up sticking out of the hole. This is less than optimal. The shoes are otherwise very comfortable and have plenty of padding. I wore them on a recent shopping trip, and except for the issue of the toes sticking out, were just what the doctor ordered. I wore ankle socks to see if that would stop the toe from poking out, but it didn't. I did have to subtract one star from the rating, because of the toe issue, and I'm open to suggestions on what might be done to plug up those holes so my toes don't poke through. I want to keep the shoes, because I was far less fatigued after the shopping trip than usual, but my second toes were a little sore on the sides where they rubbed the shoe after poking out. I don't think one of those decorative plugs they have would work, because they would take up too much room on the inside of the shoe.LATER: Since writing the review, I've been wearing my Crocs for shopping, and my toe no longer sticks out the hole. I'm not too sure why, but somewhere along the line, my feet shifted position or just settled into the shoes and those pesky toes now remain inside the shoes. Now I'm even wearing them in winter, with fancy, festive socks over heavy short socks to keep my feet warm. I no longer come home after a four hour shopping trip with a sore back and feet. I couldn't be happier with my Crocs, so have amended my review to 5 stars now that the toe issue seems to have self-resolved! | 5 | Hole in inconvenient location for long toes | 1,348,444,800 | 09 24, 2012 |

] | I'm not an artist, and purchased this product because a textile medium was required for the class project of an online course I was taking called Thread Art on Craftsy. The project consisted of creating a wall hanging by tracing an image onto a fabric sandwich, quilting on the tracing lines, quilting the background of the piece, coloring the image with colored pencils, and then sealing the colors with a textile medium. This Delta Textile Medium worked very well for sealing the colors. It made the colors much richer on the fabric. The "hand" of the fabric is stiffer, now, but not by a great deal. The fabric is still maleable and the finish doesn't crack when the fabric is rolled or scrunched. This medium also didn't add any gloss except in one area where I applied it thickly. It has stopped the colored pencil from being able to be lifted or moved off the fabric, which was the purpose of using it. The fabric doesn't feel tacky, it just feels smooth and a little stiffer. I think this coating will help keep dust from adhering to the fabric, but it hasn't been long enough to test that. I didn't notice any odor when I was using it in fairly small quantities, but sniffing the bottle just now there's a slight ammonia odor. The label indicates it's non-toxic and water-based. I had no trouble cleaning the brush I used. I haven't tried, and won't try, washing the wall hanging, so can't attest to how color-fast the textile medium has made the pencil coloring. I do intend, however, to create a test piece of fabric using both paint and colored pencil with the medium, and then wash it a week later, to see what happens. I'll update this review when I eventually do that. Now that I've created the class project, I'm inspired to try other things with fabric and colors, as well as more of the same type of project created in the class. | 5 | Worked for my purpose, which isn't the stated purpose. | 1,350,345,600 | 10 16, 2012 |

] | We purchased this with some trepidation, but with confidence in Amazon's return policy, because some reviews mentioned that the BE750G provides a "stepped approximation to a sinewave" and won't work with power supplies with "active PFC circuitry". My power supply has active PFC circuitry, but since we were replacing an existing APC unit, and we couldn't find anything on the APC site indicating my particular power supply wouldn't work, we decided to try it. The APC site recommends the Smart UPS instead of the Back-UPS units for power supplies with active PFC circuitry, but the Smart UPS cost three times what the Back-UPS do. The unit was on sale, and at 450 watts was sufficient and then some for the load we would be putting on it. I also liked that there are ten outlets on it, 5 for battery backup, 5 for surge protection only, spaced well with room for two large power bricks on each side. After receiving it, we plugged it into the computer, turned the computer on, checked the status of the charge which was almost completely full, and unplugged the BE750G to see if it kept the computer on, which is how to test if it works with your computer and power supply. The computer remained on, with no problems, so this unit works fine with my computer, despite it having active PFC circuitry in the power supply. You should absolutely check the APC site to make sure it works with your power supply before purchasing, I just wanted to mention that it does work with my active PFC circuitry power supply, so it's not ALL active PFC circuitry power supplies that don't work with it. Lastly, it monitors the power usage, which is a feature I really, really like. I can see how much power it takes to run a video game as opposed to a spreadsheet, or to convert a video (70 watts above background usage!), as well as how much power I'm using over time. It's not been quite a month, and so far it has functioned flawlessly. | 5 | Lots of plugs! | 1,350,345,600 | 10 16, 2012 |

I'm not an artist, so had nothing to start with, and we live out in the middle of nowhere, so had no art, craft or hobby stores at which to get supplies. This set was just what I needed. It contains a plastic and a kneaded eraser, a colorless blending pencil, a good sharpener and a pencil extender for when the pencils get shorter. It also includes a colorless blending marker and a graphite pencil, neither of which I've used at this point, so I can't speak to their quality. That said, since everything else in the package worked well, I've no reason to think they don't, also. The colorless blender pencil works great on the Prismacolor pencils, even on fabric. The sharpener is very sharp, and the plastic eraser worked very well the one time I oopsed and got some color where it wasn't supposed to be. For someone just starting out using colored pencils, albeit on a somewhat non-traditional medium, I found this set suited my purposes quite well, giving me the things I needed to get started.

We have a bed that has side rails, and it would have looked better if the sides of the duvet dropped down to the rails, rather than just below the top of the mattress. This is probably more of an issue because of the new mattress and box spring sizes, as we now have a ridiculously high mattress and box spring. With the old style mattress and box spring, the size would have been fine. The shams on the Queen size are small, also, so it would have been nice to have larger shams, but not a deal breaker. We put some older standard pillows in them, and they look fine. I love the look. My husband, upon first seeing the bedroom after adding this duvet and shams, and some new drapes in chocolate and seafoam, said, "This actually looks like a real bedroom now." Coming from someone who has no interest in design or colors or style, this was amazing. Those other reviewers who have indicated that the color is more green than blue are correct - it's a bluey green.

The cane and its fabric seat are sturdy enough to hold his 6' something 200+ pound frame. He also uses it if we're going to Lowe's and we're looking at something specific, like just a refrigerator, because it's difficult for him to stand in one place for very long. For general shopping he'll usually take an electric cart, but with this, he doesn't need the cart for fairly quick trips. He's very happy with it, except for the cane tips. They're hard and small, and don't grip pavement as well as the larger, more rubbery cane tips. We couldn't get the cane tips off that came with it, so we bought large diameter tips that fit snugly over the the existing tips. I dinged the review one star because of the tips.

] | I received my Kindle Fire as a gift, and am very happy with it. My husband apparently paid attention when I was talking about getting some kind of small tablet that I could carry in my purse to hold the shopping lists, and that had internet access, and I could use to read books. The Fire is perfect for me. I've never done anything where I felt it was too slow, I've now got several games on it which I play while standing in line or waiting for an appointment to start, I've set it up to read several blogs I used to read daily on my desktop, and it's perfect for the list making and keeping. It's just so easy to flip it on, and add something to a shopping list as I think of it. I almost never turn it off, it just goes into standby and then gets recharged when the battery gets low. I've got it set up to back up to my desktop, and that works well. There was even a free app one day that lets me access my desktop from the Fire. Internet browsing is a bit of a challenge for my eyes, but I can just use my fingers to make the text larger and then can read it fine. I use the internet access mostly to view the videos that are contained in the blogs, and for access by the Google Reader to the blog feeds. I've twittered with it, and access Facebook, which are both easy. I've had it for a year now - they had to replace it once because it just up and died, a process that Amazon made completely painless - and was up and running quite easily via the cloud and my backup of the other applications and data that I had on it. Oh, I also use it for quilting and art - I put it next to my sewing machine or craft table to display whatever image or pattern I'm working on. All in all, it suits my needs perfectly, and I've ended up doing far more on it than I originally wanted a small tablet to do. | 5 | Very happy | 1,348,444,800 | 09 24, 2012 |

] | I hated having to find spices to cook. I had a carousel that held the bottles, which I had in alphabetic order, but between me and my husband using it and putting away spices, it always ended up a mess. It also was never easy to get spices out of the middle of the carousel, so bottles were always falling over or out onto the counter top. So I started looking for some alternative, and came across the SpiceStor. I asked for it for Christmas, and received it. I then sorted my spices by type, instead of alphabetically (ground spices, seeds, whole spices, salts and peppers, etc), and put the clips where they were needed. Using spices is now a joy. I absolutely would not want to cook without this any longer. I pull it out of the cabinet, set it on the counter, and have access to all of my spices without there being a mess. It's very easy to put them back where they belong. It also takes up only a couple of inches of cabinet space, far, far less than the carousel took. I'm in heaven! The proof of how wonderful you think something is, comes when you buy it for someone else to share the joy. This purchase was a gift for someone else, who tells me all the time how much easier her cooking life is, since she put her spices in hers! | 5 | I love my SpiceStor! | 1,348,444,800 | 09 24, 2012 |

] | These are excellent fabric paints. The colors are bright and vibrant, they can be watered down as much as desired, or used out of the bottle as-is, depending on the depth of color desired. They don't change the hand of the fabric unless several layers are placed at higher densities. I can't speak to the permanence of the colors on fabric, because I haven't washed anything more than once yet, but they did well in their first washing, and get high ratings on other sites for their permanence. Any paint on fabric will, over time, abrade in places just from ordinary wear and tear on the item, so long-term permanence depends on what's painted. I'm using them on applique quilts, but have also made some background fabric (skies) with them, now.Be aware that the colors listed might not be the colors received. When I ordered these for a class, the colors listed were titanium white, ultramarine blue, buttercup, emerald, lemon yellow, black, oriental red, vermilion, parma violet and cobalt blue. The colors I received were emerald, lemon yellow, black, parma violet, cobalt blue, moss green, fawn, fuchsia, turquoise and cardinal red. After a few internet searches, I think the difference between what colors were listed in the set and what colors I received was a change in what the manufacturer includes in the color selection for the set, now. It appears the colors listed were the old version of the set, and what I received was the new version of the set. Unfortunately, I needed four of the colors in the old version for a specific class project. Per Amazon, they will be changing the listing to reflect the colors now in the set, but as of this writing they haven't yet done so. I've no idea if their stock contains both sets or not. I'm sure I'll use all of the paints I received, on other projects, I just had to order individual bottles of the other colors I needed from another source for the class project.I've found the paints very easy to use, easy cleanup, and I could not be happier with the results on fabric. The colors mix well into other colors, also. Amazon was very gracious in resolving the issue with the receipt of different paint colors, also, which is one of the reasons I shop here. | 5 | Excellent fabric paints-colors received might not be same | 1,354,060,800 | 11 28, 2012 |

] | This turned out not to be the correct battery for my UPS. My UPS shows it's a Back-Ups ES 500, but this battery was too large by at least an inch or more. It turns out there's more than one version of the APC Back-Ups ES500. Mine had the model number of BE500 with no other letters in the model number, and took a UB1250 battery, which the seller substituted for the UB1280 without problem. So I ended up with the correct battery for my system, it just took a little longer to get it than originally anticipated. I'm giving this UB1280 battery a top rating, because the substitution was done by the seller, so there isn't a "sale" for it to rate. The seller just asked for some photos to verify my system said it was an ES 500, and the dimensions of where the battery goes, and then sent a different battery to us for our system. Be sure to measure the space of your UPS and check it against the dimensions given for this battery before ordering it for your unit, and if the dimensions are too large, take a look at the dimensions for the UB1250 and see if they fit your unit. The UB1250 from the seller is working perfectly in our unit, now. | 5 | Not the correct battery for my Back-ups ES 500 | 1,369,526,400 | 05 26, 2013 |

It's a 50/2 and quite strong. I can't break it trying to pull it apart wrapping it around my fingers on two hands and pulling. Instead, it cuts into my skin. Strong is good for use on a serger. I haven't used enough of it to attest to whether it sheds less than other threads, but I've not seen any shedding so far.

] | I like playing word games, and many of those I play have been free or free for the day, like this one. In many of the others where you are guessing a word, you'll get an indication of which letters are in the correct location. That doesn't happen in this game. There are also no hints available in this free version, you have to pay to get hints. I also found some of the puzzles somewhat of a stretch in terms of the word that unified them all. It would be helpful if there were some way of scrambling the letters. They're always in the same order as you try to figure out what the answer might be, for those puzzles where it isn't obvious. There's no explanation of the scoring, no help file whatsoever, and I've found no way to skip a puzzle if you're having trouble with it and just want to work on a different one. So you're stuck until you either figure it out, or give up entirely on the game itself. | 3 | I expected just a little more | 1,363,046,400 | 03 12, 2013 |

] | I bought this item when I switched from DirecTV (with RF remotes) to Comcast (with IR remotes). We have a 25ft HDMI cable running between our TV and the cable box in the AV closet. We also have a similar set-up in the bedroom closet.We found out the hard way that:1) It only works with certain set top boxes. Comcast Cicso boxes are fine. Scientific Atlanta boxes do not work. Fios boxes work (though not as well as the Comcast Cisco box).2) The HDMI plug is quite fragile. If you put any horizontal force on it, you will break it. We broke three of the four connectors over the space of 3 months. You have a clunky plug sticking out of the back of your box and unless you have a 270 degree HDMI adapter it is really easy to knock when you go to move your box. I can understand breaking one if you're not being careful, but we learned the lesson with the first and still managed to break 2 more!3) It is incompatible with replacement adapters by other manufacturers whose pictures look identical. So if you do break one, you have to buy a whole replacement kit (not cheap).4) You can do the same job with the infrared extender cables that plug in the back of your box (if the box is compatible) for a fraction of the price. Doesn't look as slick, but does the job.I felt giving it a 1 star would be a bit harsh because it did work for a while with certain boxes. But I can't recommend something that broke this easily on us. | 2 | Sort-of works until you break it | 1,346,457,600 | 09 1, 2012 |
