Movie ratings are always very subjective, with one person's gem being another's trash. That said, I enjoyed the movie, despite it being a bit unrealistic. If your goal is just to be entertained you will likely enjoy this movie. If you are out to play movie critic you will find lots of problems. 4 stars

I have been trading and investing in the markets for over 30 years. I got this book because my partners and I sometimes teach free classes on the markets, and I was puzzled about a book on the markets having cartoons. I was wondering whether the book might make a good text for our classes. I did not learn anything from this book, but given my own knowledge and experience, I did not expect to. I give the book 5 stars. This is a good book for beginners, people that know little about the markets, trading or investing, but are interested in learning. The book explains market basics, value investing, growth investing, trading, day trading, swing trading, fundamental analysis, technical analysis and so on. I personally was not that impressed with the cartoons, but they may be helpful to some and so I do not count them as a negative. One feature I really liked about the book is that it takes the time as you read to define various concepts and meanings. I also liked the fact this book is full of references to many web sites you can go to for further information (free). I liked that, and I found that several of the web sites referenced in this book are web sites we refer students to in our classes. If you have been thinking about getting involved in the markets and just do not know where to start, I would recommend this book as one of a few good starter books. You should also check out the "for Dummies" series of books, also available on Amazon. On the other hand, if you are an experienced trader or investor, you will likely find this book a waste of time. But it remains a good starting point for beginners, and I would recommend it for them.

I need to make some disclosures before posting this review. First, I have been trading and investing in the markets for over 30 years. I have done very, very, very well, being able to retire years ago at age 52. These days I am more of a short term trader than a longer term investor, using systems that are based either entirely on technical analysis or hybrid systems that combine technical analysis with elements of fundamental analysis. Second, I have long been a harsh critic of so called "penny stocks" (there is not a uniform definition of "penny stocks," but most consider stocks selling for $5 a share or less as penny stocks). Penny stocks tend to be very risky to either trade or invest in for several reasons and there have been thousands of scams involving penny stocks over the years, like "pump and dump" scams or "short and distort" scams. Third, I did not learn or expect to learn much from this book. I got the book because I thought it would be full of lies and misrepresentations about penny stocks and it was my intention to expose both the author and the book as full of nonsense. Now to my review.This is an outstanding book. I give it 5 stars. The author (Peter Leeds) has a very good reputation and I know based on my own training, trading, investing and experience for over 30 years that what the author says and explains in the book is solid. No nonsense, no lies, no misrepresentations. The author candidly admits the risky nature of most penny stocks, and attempts to explain how to do fundamental analysis of the companies that have issued the penny stocks to separate the good from the bad. In the end, all movements in stock prices can be traced back to earnings, either actual, expected or speculated. The author explains how to investigate or "kick the tires" of the companies that have issued penny stocks to separate the junk companies from those that have real earnings and growth potential.The book consists of 15 chapters and is pretty comprehensive about explaining what fundamental analysis is (as opposed to technical analysis, which is more focused on the past and probable price movement of a stock in the short term than the company behind the stock). Chapter 1 is "Getting to Know Penny Stocks," Chapter 2 is "Deciding if Penny Stocks are Right for You," Chapter 3 is "Buying and Selling Penny Stocks," Chapter 4 is "Avoiding Promotions, Scams and Bribes," Chapter 5 is "Developing a Strategy," Chapter 6 is "Doing Your Research," Chapter 7 is "Picking a Winner," Chapter 8 is "Trading Strategies," Chapter 9 is "Fundamental Analysis," Chapter 10 is "Financial Ratios: Comparing Apples to Apples" (explains things like Price to Sales or P/S ratios, Quick Ratios, Current Ratios, etc.), Chapter 11 is "The Abstract Review in Penny Stocks," Chapter 12 is "Technical Analysis with Penny Stocks" (the author does not go deeply into technical analysis as it often does not work well or at all with penny stocks, the author explaining why in the book), Chapter 13 is "Ten Rapid Result Tactics," Chapter 14 is "Ten Trading Truths," and finally, Chapter 15 is "Ten Key Considerations for Companies."If you are managing your own investments, want to consider investing in penny stocks, and do not know much about funadamental analysis of penny stock companies or how to do it on your own (frankly if you are managing your own investments and do not know how to do fundamental analysis, you probably should not be managing your own investments), this is a good book to get you started. This book like most all the "Dummies" books is aimed more towards the beginner, not the person already an expert. The book speaks in plain English and is relatively easy to understand. I highly recommend it for those just getting interested or started. Another very pleasant surprise is that the author of the book, Peter Leeds, is pretty easy to find and contact on most social media platforms and he actually responds to people. This book would also be helpful if you are depending upon somebody else to alert you to good or high quality penny stocks, as your knowledge of how to do fundamental analysis would enable you to better research any alerts or recommendations you get (most of which come with something in the fine print warning you to do your own research or "due diligence").One other thing I should mention is that there are a few typos in the book. Nothing serious and nothing that changes meaning. I mention the matter only because some people like to play English teacher instead of book reviewer. Bottom line is 5 stars from me. Very surprised, and pleasantly so. But this book is not for everybody. If you are an experienced investor in penny stocks and know how to research or do fundamental analysis on companies issuing penny stocks, you probably have little need of this book. Likewise, if you want to just trade instead of invest in penny stocks, based on technical instead of fundamental analysis, this book will be of little help to you as only one chapter addresses technical analysis (and the author explains why technical analysis often does not work with penny stocks).

I have been investing and trading in the stock markets since 1972. I have done the traditional long term buy and hold investing as well as the shorter term fundamental, technical and hybrid trading (hybrid trading involves using trading systems that combine elements of both fundamental and technical analysis, like buying stocks setting new 52 week price highs, a technical condition, with a Price to Sales ratio (P/S) of between 0 and 2 and a Zacks Rank of 1 or 2, which relate to fundamental elements). With regard to my purely technical trading I do 4 types: (1) Trend, (2) Countertrend, (3) Range, and (4) Breakout. The vast majority of my purely technical trading is (1) trend trading. This book is primarily about trend trading. In a nutshell (and greatly oversimplified) I look for stocks that are trending up or down in price, take a position on those stocks in the direction of the trend (buy if uptrend, short if downtrend), on the belief the trend will continue, and then exit the position when the trend comes to an end - usually but not always with profits (bad news can bring an end to a great uptrend real fast, and good news can do the same with a downtrend). "The trend is your friend until the end" is a core belief for trend traders. This book does have some very brief discussions about other types of trading, like daytrading and swing trading, but it refers you to other books for more information on those trading methods. I did not learn anything from this book, and had some minor disappointments with it, but overall it is still a great book for beginners, a good starting point. I was disappointed for example that it made no mention of the Elder Impulse System, a modified version of which I have used for years. I was also disappointed this book made no mention of using Bollinger Bands and the OBV (On Balance Volume indicator) as useful tools in spotting and confirming trends. This book does however have a solid discussion of using the MACD and moving averages, two tools trend traders use a lot (in fact the Elder Impulse System mentioned earlier uses a 13 day EMA, a 65 day EMA and the MACD histogram, but I have added to and refined it some since I first started using it over a decade ago). I was also a little disappointed the book did not discuss the importance when trend trading of checking to see what the industry group and sector that contain your stock are doing, as well as checking the weekly and perhaps even the monthly charts on your specific stock of interest. In other words looking not just at a specific "tree" (stock), but also the "forest" (industry group, sector, market) the "tree" is in. What I like to see are stocks that are say trending up on their daily and weekly charts, in an industry group that is trending up, in a sector that is trending up, in a market that is trending up. If "the trend is your friend until the end" then I think the more "friends" you have the better. They help to insure you are swimming with the tide instead of against the tide, and althouth it is possible to have an uptrending stock in a downtrending industry group and sector and market, those trends seem to me a lot more risky. So I take smaller positions in those situations to offset the extra risk, or just find better stocks to trend trade. The book also talks about developing your own trading systems and that is nice, but I think the book could be clearer than it is that any trading system you develop must cover at least 5 things: (1) what to buy or short, (2) when, (3) how much, (4) your stops, and (5) your exit point. I also thought the chapter on risk management could have been better. I found no mention for example of the 2% rule (the rule states that you should never risk more than 2% of your account value on any one stock or trade). But I will not continue to nitpick the book. It is a great book overall, but for beginners. To get your feet wet so to speak with basic concepts. I give it 4 stars. And with so many virtual or simulated markets out there these days for beginners to test their skills, without risking real money, I hope that beginners just starting out with this book will test out their ideas and strategies first in one of the virtual or simulated markets before trading real money in the real markets. I do recommend the book to those interested in learning about trend trading.

I am now retired from law after having been a litigation paralegal and head of a legal services firm providing litigation support services to lawyers and judges for 30 years. I wanted to review this book because despite my retirement a lot of people still ask me questions about our criminal justice system especially if they have somehow become personally involved with it (as defendant, victim, juror etc). I wanted one single book I could refer them to that would give them a good introduction to the system and thus save me a lot of explanation. Nolo has a long standing reputation for publishing books on legal subjects that are "friendly" to the non-lawyers among us and this book did not disappoint.I would recommend this book for anybody that is not a lawyer or litigation paralegal but who wants to get a much better understanding of how our criminal justice systems are supposed to work. The book for the most part is written in plain English that non-lawyers can easily understand. But I need to give 2 warnings.First, you should not view this book as a substitute for a lawyer. This book will help you better understand the system in general and why lawyers and courts do what they do, but if you are in trouble with the law, I strongly advise you get a lawyer, especially if your personal freedom is at stake.Second, this book is sort of "generic" in that it is written in general terms and covers subjects in a general way. The reason is that laws can vary from state to state and city to city, but this book was written for a national audience. This book cannot get too specific yet remain accurate as a result, because what is state law in California may not be state law in Georgia. So this book confines itself to basic stuff that is usually correct no matter what the state or city. Consult a local lawyer for variations that may be specific to your state or city, or, if you can, check your local laws yourself.I give it 5 stars with the above cautions.

If this book cost $10 or less I would give it 4 stars. I must deduct 1 star because this book is way overpriced. I already knew most of the info provided in this book so it was not a great help to me (plus my credit does not need repair anyway). And other reviewers are correct in stating that most of the info provided in this book is available free on the Internet. But if you want to have it already collected for you and put in one book, this book does that. And I have to add that the title of the book is misleading as a lot of the book does not deal with credit repair at all. It talks about setting budgets, reducing debt, trying to work out agreements with creditors, etc. And I must remind all that if there is negative yet correct info in your credit reports, there is little chance of getting it removed unless it passes the relevant time limit (becomes stale), which for most but not all kinds of negative information is 7 years. This could be a useful book covering the basics for somebody new to the credit game. But for most I suspect it will be just a rerun of the same old movie with a new cover and title. I cannot recommend this book at a price of over $20.

This is a good book for those not knowing but wanting to learn the basics of Estate Planning. Nolo Press is a very reliable publisher of such books. But I would caution those who purchase this book that it is best used and understood as just an introduction to basic concepts and terminology. You should always check the laws and specifics of your own state as each state can differ on specifics. This book is just the "Basics" as plainly noted in red letters in the title.

This book is just a collection of 8 short stories or articles titled:How Resilience Works-- Diane C. CoutuMoving upward in a Downturn-- Darrell RigbyWhen Growth Stalls-- Olson, Bever, VerryLeadership and the Psychology of Turnarounds-- Rosabeth Moss KanterFinding Your Next Core Business--Chris ZookZeitgeist Leadership--Mayo, NohriaCutting Costs Without Drawing Blood-- Tom CopelandLeading Trough Rough Times: An Interview with Novell's Eric Schmidt--Bronwyn FryerBasically they are old "war" stories about what so and so did at X company, X being a multi-million dollar company. I was not at all impressed, because what is needed and works at X company may not be needed or work at another.I can save you the cost of this book. When managing in a downturn, do these things:1. Cut unnecessary costs2. Increase marketing3. Improve customer service4. Improve the existing products or services you offer5. Add related products or services (if you sell vanilla ice cream, add chocolate)

I loved the movie when it first came out and this album as well. The songs to me sound even better than they did in the original movie. No complaints from me. I would note however that tastes in music are very subjective and what one loves another hates. I would thus recommend to all that no music be purchased unless you have first listened to the audio sample clips.

I wanted to install some extra smoke alarms in my law office and bought 3 of these. They are perfect. About 4 inches in diameter, they were easy to install and are not even noticed by visitors. Each tests fine and I sleep better at night with the extra protection. Great value at under $8 each. 5 stars. Will likely buy more

My law office is 2,000 square feet of carpeted and tiled floors. We have an upright and a steam vac for the carpets and they do fine. I bought this 3670G 12 amp Eureka mainly for the tiled floors, cleaning the drapes and (because of its long wands) hard to reach places behind desks and work tables. I am very pleased with it. It uses bags, but that is a good feature for us as we like bags when pulling up dust and dust mites (the bags are cheap as I just bought 24 for $12). I do not recommend this vacuum for carpets in general because the large attachment you see in the photo is not a brush attachment (it does come with a smaller brush attachment for drapes and hard to reach spots). But for sucking up loose junk on tile and in between tiles it is great. It is also great for cleaning drapes (floor to ceiling) and hard to reach spots because of the long wand extensions. Would buy again if needed. 4 stars

I use these in the outdoor intercoms at my office as they are not temperature sensitive like regular or rechargable batteries (lithium batteries seem to work as good for me at Zero as they do at 90 degrees, while regular batteries seem to lose their power in cold weather). My outdoor intercoms require 4 each of these and they last on average for 2 years (regular batteries last 6 months or so) regardless of outside temperature. Only drawback to these batteries (and some might consider it a plus) is that when they go they go. By that I mean they do not gradually lose power like regular batteries. They are either fully up or dead. I am very happy with them. I also use them in my Flip Video Cam, my digital camera, my outdoor weather station sensors (which display outside temperatures to my indoor weather monitors), my led bike lights and just anywhere where I have something that is battery powered outside in the weather. Now buy them by the case. Another great thing is that these batteries have a long shelf life of 10 to 20 years so you can buy them today even if you may not need to use them for 5 to 10 years or so.

Bought 3 of these. Installed one near the water heater and the other 2 under bathroom sinks. Product works as advertised but I wish they were louder. We have these installed on the same floor and could hear them if they went off at night while things are quiet. But otherwise you would only notice them if you were close (10-15 feet). The other feature I do not like about these is that they need to lay flat on the surface. All things considered, they do what they are supposed to do. But nothing to brag about

My law office in on the second floor of a building built over 100 years ago, long before modern fire codes. I wanted this fire escape ladder as there is only 1 exit and I was concerned that in case of fire that 1 exit might be blocked. This ladder addresses my concerns and is reasonably priced and has decent quality. However, like other reviewers, I am disappointed it is designed for 1 time use only, as this prevents us from actually testing it. Since I bought this ladder with knowledge from other reviews that it was 1 time use only, I cannot really complain. However, I did deduct 1 star. 4 stars from me.

I have had 2 of these units for years and both work OK. I use them to monitor for people at the side door of my law office. Having had 2 of them for years I offer these tips. First, the outside motion sensor takes a 9 volt battery and you should use only lithium batteries in the outside unit as lithium batteries are not as temperature sensitive as regular batteries, which perform poorly when cold. Lithium batteries are more expensive up front but they last 5 to 7 times or more longer than a regular battery. With the inside receiver unit you can use whatever battery type you prefer or an AC/DC adapter. The inside unit needs 3 "C" size batteries. Second, some reviewers have complained that the unit goes off for no reason. We found that flying insects were setting off the unit by flying near it. My solution has been to spray flying insect killer around the unit every 2 weeks or so in the summer. That works for us. Others might want to adjust or reduce the sensitivity of the motion detector by placing black electrical or other suitable tape over the sensor window. But rest assured that if an insect flies into or on the sensor, it will set it off. That is probably true for any motion detector, no matter what the price. To be sure, there are better quality units on the market, but not at this price. Once we switched to a lithium 9 volt battery in the sensor unit and wiped out our flying insect problem about a year ago, the units have worked perfectly.

I ordered 2 sets of these Cyber Acoustics headphones to replace 2 older sets from a different manufacturer, 1 of which was "lost" by a guest and the other of which was broken by a different guest while listening to my stereos and TVs. Both new sets arrived promptly and in good working order. They come with a built in switch for mono or stereo operation with individual volume adjustments on each earpiece. Cord length is about 8 feet, which means you will need to own or buy an extension if you plan on listening with these over 8 feet away from your stereo, computer, TV, etc. I am happy with the purchase and would buy again. These headphones are nothing to brag about, but they put out a good sound considering they are less than $20. If you want some extra headphones for kids or guests I would recommend these. If you want to play sound expert then these headphones are not, repeat not, for you. Sound experts should always spend the hundreds of dollars for a better set. But if you just want something simple and basic and a big bang for little money, get this set. 4 stars.

This is such a simple product there is not much to review. These are simple thin transparent plastic cases that hold regular size CDs and DVDs. They work fine for their manufactured use. Would buy again if I needed more.

I discovered while setting up a new home entertainment center in the living room that I needed more outlets, but at the same time I wanted to eliminate use of an extension cord I had been using with my previous power strip, which had only a 3 foot cord. This was the perfect outlet power strip for me as the cord was heavy duty and is 15 feet long, thus not requiring me to use an extension cord. It also has a lighted power on/off switch and I like that as it allows me to determine quickly if the strip has power or not. Only drawback, not to me but perhaps to others, is that the outlets are evenly spaced, which means this strip is not the best power strip if you have a lot of power adapters you need to plug in. This was not a problem for me however as I also have a short strip designed specifically for plugging in power adapters only and I just plugged that strip into one of the outlets provided on this strip. Very happy. Would buy again! I should add this strip is not a surge protector and does not provide surge or power protection.

I needed a short USB cable extension to hook my Flip video camcorder into my desktop USB ports, without risking breaking the USB arm on the Flip itself. This cable was perfect size, promptly shipped, reasonably priced and does the job intended. Would buy again if needed.

Our office has had high speed Internet for years, mostly DSL thru Bell South now ATT. We were informed by ATT that it is phasing out DSL in our area and replacing it with Uverse. We upgraded. After the upgrade we had a lot of problems with our ATT Uverse router/modem dropping the signal. We had no fewer than 7 ATT Uverse technicians out to work on the problem over a 2 week period. They did considerable work on the outside lines eliminating what they called "bridge taps" and that improved things a lot. But we were still getting dropped from time to time, about once a week and it seems we were not getting the full speed we were paying for. One of the techs noticed that the cable supplied by ATT with the router/modem (a Motorola NVG510) was not a shielded cable and that as installed in our office the Uverse cable from the jack in the wall to the router/modem was in what can only be described as a "spaghetti junction" of other cables feeding the phones, computers, printers and so on. To minimize interference from the other cables we bought this cable off Amazon and installed it to replace the unshielded cable that ATT supplied. We have gone over 90 days now and been dropped off the Internet by Uverse only 1 time, which is great (originally we were getting dropped 2 or 3 times per day, then 1 or 2 times per week, now after this cable and the other fixes mentioned only 1 time in over 90 days). We are also now getting almost the full Uverse speed we pay for (we pay for 12,000 kbps and are actually getting 11,997 kbps). While I cannot say this cable alone solved all our problems as many of them were located in the lines outside our building, I can say as we got the outside line problems fixed this shielded cable helped eliminate our remaining problems involving cross interference from our other cables and helped further reduce our drop rate and help us get the full Uverse speeds we paid for. Not a magic bullet, but it certainly helped. Very pleased.

The episodes on this DVD are listed elsewhere so I will not repeat them here. I am happy with the purchase, although I wish they had remastered the episodes in digital format. It appears from the picture quality they just copied the original episodes onto a DVD, so the quality you get is that which existed when the episodes first aired. I expected this, but deducted 1 star because I believe they should have remastered the episodes. Would buy again as I wanted them for my DVD collection.

I bought this Hamilton Beach 42 cup coffee urn for my law office as we go thru a lot of coffee during a day at the office. At least 1 and sometimes 2 urns full a day. I have had this unit for several months now and it continues to work fine and is easy to clean. I cannot think of any disadvantages to list as this urn has worked perfectly every time. I am very happy with the purchase.

Needed a carpet cleaner for my law office (1800 square feet, 1600 of which is carpeted with nylon berber). Clients spill coffee, cokes, snacks, sometimes bring their pets etc. Bought this Hoover model F5914 as it appeared to have best reviews of all I looked at. Now had it a month and am very happy with it. I had no idea how dirty some areas of carpet had become until we started using this thing. The first wash/rinse produced waste water that looked like crankcase oil from a car with 100,000 miles on it. Item was well packaged, easy to set up, and no leaks of any kind. I would not hesitate to buy another.

Bought these for my smoke and fire detectors that take 9 volt batteries and which I change twice a year (whenever here in Kentucky we change our clocks to adjust for time changes). Not a bad or dead battery in the box, they have lasted fine after being installed (I need them to last 6 tp 8 months in a smoke detector before being changed). No complaints and price was reasonable compared to those in our local stores

I bought 2 of these for my law office and so far after weeks of operation they are keeping perfect time. Very happy. I would note for those not looking closely at the photos that this model does not have s second hand, just an hour and minute hand. This was not important to me, but I thought I would mention it as it may be important to others. Would buy again. Do not forget they are 18 inches wide.

I bought this multi-cooker several months ago and am very pleased with it. I use it almost daily as I tend to keep a pot of chili or something else always ready for guests and kids, the result being that this cooker is often left on 24/7. The unit has worked perfectly every time and been easy to clean. This unit has also been great for making popcorn for guests watching sports or home movies at my house. The feature I like best, other than easy cleaning, is that the temperature dial is marked out in degrees and lets me exercise better control over cooking temperatures than what other slow cookers do (many others just have a low, medium and high setting, whereas this unit has a dial with various temps marked on it and allows you greater range). Happy with the purchase and no complaints.

I record all phone calls coming into or going out of my law office with an Olympus DS 30, which must be left on 24/7 so no calls are missed. I bought one of these Jwin power adapters because I wanted to save on battery costs. I have had it installed for several days now, plugged into a 110V wall outlet and set to deliver 3V DC power to the recorder. The unit works great and I am buying some extras for spares. This unit works on 110V or 220V power lines and comes will all sorts of end plugs to fit whatever appliance you need the DC power for. I am very happy with the purchase and I like the way the transformer head stays cool (many others I have had get warm or even hot when left plugged in all the time and that always concerns me). The only caution I would give is that when you first set up this unit to your appliance, make sure you get the polarity right (you can change the polarity by rotating the tip on the end that plugs into your appliance). I was paying $12 for similar units off Ebay so the Amazon price (with free shipping) was a welcome relief for me. Great deal!

Got one of these for a 32 inch HDTV that I wanted to connect a separate VCR and DVD Player to, and also from time to time a laptop computer (the HDTV works as a computer monitor also) and video games for the kids. Basically the unit does what the ad says. It has 4 sets of INPUT jacks (RCA and S Video), 3 sets on the back and 1 set on the front, and 1 set of OUTPUT jacks (also RCA and S Video). Wired it up and it works fine with one minor (to me) exception, and that is I cannot get the MODE to change (the MODE button is supposed to let you manually select the input for the TV, or set it on automatic, or set it on scan). Mine came already set to automatic and it works fine, but I would just like the option of setting it to manual. 4 stars. Would buy again if needed.

I have had 2 of these simple units in my law office for 3 to 4 years now and they have always worked great for me. The temperature does seem 1 or 2 degrees off sometimes from the other units I have, but since I am not working for the Weather Channel I do not need exactly precise units. Given my experiences I must recommend a few things. First, buy lithium batteries for the outside sensor (not the inside). The reason is that cold temperatures cause ordinary batteries to lose power and fail fast, the lithiums maintain power better when cold. Lithiums are more expensive but they last longer and give more stable cold weather performance. Second, the inside display unit will sometimes lose contact with the outside sensor unit, which at times may require a reset. If you have to do a reset, remove all batteries from all the inside display units and wait about 10 minutes before firing them up again. And then do not make any manual adjustments for 15 minutes or so (such as setting the time again). My only complaint on these units is that setting them up could be easier (you forget which buttons do what and have to dig out the owners manual to refresh your memory as the buttons are not as clearly marked and self-explanatory as they could be). Oh, and when the batteries in the outside sensor unit die, as all batteries will, you have to also take the batteries out of the inside display units and reset the whole system from scratch. But if you use lithium batteries for the outside unit, you should only have to do this once every 2 to 4 years. I'm happy, would buy again.

This fan is a bit loud due to its different type of fan blade, but it puts out a lot of air. The fan blade is a turbo prop style blade like found on small aircraft. Thus it puts out a similar sound to an aircraft, much LESS loud than an aircraft, but still louder than most fans. Works great for me and was very easy to assemble. I would recommend this fan to anybody that wants a good fan with remote control that is not concerned with the extra noise. If you want a "whisper quiet" fan, do NOT buy this one. Otherwise this fan is great. Only drawback for me is that you cannot control the oscillation of the fan with the remote. You must control oscillation from the top of the fan itself. Auto-off can be controlled by remote and is 2, 4, 8 hour options. I will likely buy another of these fans next month.

I needed a reliable way to record incoming phone calls to my office and was tired of using the old analog tapes. I bought this item, and although it is OK, I found it unsatisfactory for my purpose. Yes it does record the calls on your computer, but that means you must have your computer on at all times you want to record calls. But what turned me "off" on this product was that in addition to recording calls, it records anything else that plays on your computer. For example, if you play a music or video file on your computer, it records that song or audio track the same as a phone call. And when you play back a previously recorded call, it records that same call all over again so you have it twice. I cannot find a way to make it record only phone calls, and email to the manufacturer weeks ago has never been responded to. I have packed the thing back into its box and put it in storage. My solution was to buy an Olumpus DS30 digital recorder that runs off AC/DC power. I have it plugged directly into the phone line so it records only calls, not music files, and I can now turn off the computer at night. No batteries to worry about as the DS30 runs off building power with the AC/DC adapter. Get the DS30 if you want reliable recording of only your phone calls, 24/7. Transferring the files to your computer is super easy.

I was reluctant to buy these socks as they seemed quite expensive compared to regular white socks. However, I needed some black socks and so I bought 2 dozen of these. I have had them for some weeks now and am very happy with them. They are very well made and should last me for a long time, maybe even years. They are also quite comfortable. I would buy more if I needed more.

I bought one of these end tables directly from Target after seeing it on [...] (I got free shipping from the Target site, but not the Amazon site). I like the table and have placed it in the law library of my law office. It came fast, was very easy to put together (all you need that is not in the box is a phillips screwdriver) and looks good. I like what appears to be solid wood construction. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because black is the only color available. I should add that "rubber wood" is wood from the older rubber trees (after several years rubber trees stop producing rubber and are cut down to make room for a replacement young tree that will again produce rubber, the wood that makes up this table is from one of the older trees, still a good tree, but no longer producing rubber)

I bought this game for my 8 year old grandson. He loves this game, has had it for over 2 months now and has not become bored with it (much to my surprise). That earns it 5 stars from me. The boy's mother is not too fond of the game as she believes it fails to teach the boy anything, but that is OK with me as sometimes kids just want to have fun and adventures - just like adults (I reminded the mother that she goes out dancing withn her girlfriends once or twice a month and does not learn anything). If you are looking for an educational game this is not a game you should buy. But if you are just looking for a game that will give the kids hours of fun and adventure, consider this one.

Ordered 1 of these full size futon matresses for a futon in my law office and am very pleased with this one. It is very comfortable and at less than $90 (including shipping) I have not been able to find a better deal anywhere else. Every other similar mattress I could find was over $120 without shipping. Shipping took less than 14 days. Very pleased and will likely buy another.

I have 9 of these units around my law office in Louisville and all 9 have always worked great. Reception is always good and I run 6 of the 9 units on AC adapters to avoid any needs for batteries. As for the remaining 3 units, I do run them on "AA" batteries and just replace the batteries twice a year when we change our clocks (Usually changes are not needed, but I change them anyway, just like the smoke detectors etc). The reason I opted for these units over cheaper units is the range. My experience has been that the true range of any wireless unit is much less than whatever the manufacturer claims. I divide whatever range the manufactuer claims by 5 and consider that the true range in a downtown metro environment. We are in an old building with lots of concrete and brick and steel, and I wanted the best range I could buy. These have worked fine for 2 years now at 200-220 foot range and I have no complaints. Another feature I like is that these units form their own "closed" network with each other, which prevents people in surrounding buildngs from snooping as much as they otherwise would.

Bought these to record short (2 hour or less) programs from my TV when I was out that I would not want to keep (e.g., I might want to record the local news while gone, but not keep that recording after viewing it). I had been using DVD-R but of course they have to be trashed when done and cannot be erased and re-recorded. I have used about half of these DVD+RW discs so far and every one works fine, has erased fine and re-recorded fine. I also found that my regular DVD players can read them also. Very happy.

This review is for the 3rd season so there is not much I can say that you will not already know or that other reviewers have not covered. I loved this series from day one and have always been sort of amazed that others like it as it is in a reverse mystery format, much like the show Jeopardy is in a reverse question/answer format (they state the answer and you come up with the question). With Columbo you always know from the start of the show who the murderer is, whereas in the regular mystery format you are kept in the dark until the end. The only mystery is how Columbo will find out who the murderer is. Thumbs up from me.

One of the smoke detectors in my office died and I needed a replacement. This unit had a good price and I liked the idea of not having to change batteries all the time (twice a year). Got fast shipping and installation was easy. Would buy again.

Bought this hair dryer several weeks ago to replace a Conair that had finally died. All I can say is this dryer has worked perfectly every time and drys my hair after showers with no problem and pretty fast. There was one time when after extended running it overheated and shut off on me. I simply let it cool down for 10 minutes and hit the reset button and it was back to normal. Very happy with the purchase and would buy it again. I should add that I do not expect any hair dryer to be silent and did not find the noise abnormal

I bought one of these cots for my downtown law office as we sometimes have situations where we must pull all nighters to meet court deadlines, sometimes get snowed in, and sometimes have an out of town witness or person who needs an emergency place to stay with no notice. I am 6 foot, 1 inch tall and weigh 250 pounds and tried the cot out myself. It holds up well, is easy to fold and unfold, and carries my weight and height with no problem. We have used air beds in the past and this cot feels a lot more comfortable and stable to me than an air bed, plus it has no air to leak out, unlike an air bed. I am very pleased with it and consider it a good value for the money. Unlike an air bed, this thing should last forever, and without leaks.

You get what you pay for. These cuffs would be great for the bedroom and could even be used as perhaps an emergency spare set for real arrests. They are better than the toy cuffs you would find in many stores, but not as heavy duty as the kind most police use (Smith & Wesson). Considering the low price I give them 4 stars, but if you are looking for a pair for daily law enforcement work, you should buy a better and higher quality pair.

I bought one of these a few years ago and plugged the cordless phone system at my house (5 phones) into it. It has worked well for me with my Skype account on voice calls and I really have no serious complaints about the device. There are 2 drawbacks I should mention. First, the way this thing works you have to pick up your regular old analog phone and dial star (*) 00 and then the country code, area code and phone number you want to call (the country code for calls to the USA of course is 1). After you plug your regular phones into this device you cannot just pick up your phone and make a local call by dialing just the prefix and number like you could on regular land lines. You have to dial all outgoing calls as long distance (with country and area codes) even if you are just calling a house across the street. So there is a little extra dialing involved and you must dial *00 to make an outgoing call. That has not been a big inconvenience to me. The second drawback to this device is that it will not work unless both plugged into your computer's usb port AND your computer is left on. If you are keeping your old landline and just adding this for international calls, your old landlines will work even if your computer is turned off, but so long as your computer is off you will not be able to use this to place calls over the Internet using Skype. I am happy with it, and have had no software problems (one thing you do have to do once you install the Skypemate software is open your Skype account software on the same computer and set Skype to allow the Skypemate software to use Skype).

These are the original black and white TV episodes as they aired on TV back in the 1950's. I loved rewatching these as I had not seen them in over 48 years. A must have for those who loved the original TV series. Special effects and stunts are primitive by today's standards, but they brought back so many great memories for me I simply did not care

I have had a Nokia 6010 model cellphone for several years now, getting it new from T-mobile years ago. The phone has worked every time, gets great reception compared to other models I have used (a few dropped calls, but that is the network not the phone) and replacement batteries have been cheap to buy when needed. If you need just a basic phone and this model will work on your network, buy this phone. I have now changed to a more fancy and expensive Motorola phone and have put Spiderman faceplates on this Nokia 6010 model so it will serve as my grandson's first phone. No complaints after many years of usage.

What can I say about Brut? Either you love the smell or you do not. This container is huge, repeat huge. I bought it because my son also uses it and unlike me, he seems to use it by the quart. So buying a huge size made sense. If Brut is one of your most used or daily cologne, I recommend buying this size as you save money and the stuff does not spoil. If you use Brut just from time to time or not at all, this is not a good buy for you. Those who have not tried Brut should buy the smallest size first or better yet, check it out in a drug store before buying. If you like it you can then go for the bigger containers. No complaints

My law office does a lot of printing. Most (98%) of our printing is done on a high speed $4,000 xerox color printer. But 2 years ago I wanted another printer, using ink jet technology, that could handle less demanding tasks and also serve as a fax. I had previously used an HP Office Jet V40 for these less demanding matters (bought the HP in 2001) but wanted a replacement with cheaper ink cartridges and a flat bed scanner (for lawbook pages) instead of the sheet fed scanner on the HP. I bought this Brother MFC 210C and it has held up well after 2 years of use (we print about 50 pages a month on it, use it daily as a fax, and the ink cartridges for it can be purchased for as little as $2 each if you search Amazon and Ebay). The drawbacks to this Brother printer are primarily its slowness and noise. But I am willing to live with that for such a low price. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars only because it has a built in alert to let me know ink is low and I do not like that (sometimes it will alert ink low and ink is fine, in which event you just remove and reinsert the cartridges).

This is the second time I have bought the First Season of this show from Amazon. The first purchase was for a friend, this second purchase is for me. I love the show because it is silly and makes me laugh, and what guy with a heartbeat would not love having a Barbara Eden running around the house? The series is entertaining and fun to watch, yet safe enough even the kids can watch it. Thumbs up

I ride an average of 20 miles per day along a city bike trail that runs along the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky. The trail is at times rough. I started having slow air leaks in my front tire several months ago that proceeded to get worse. No nails or glass or anything like that, but most of the air would leak from the front tire only after 3 days. I took the bike to a local bike shop and had the front inner tube replaced. The leaking stopped for a week but then started again. Then I ordered 2 bottles of Slime. I put 1/2 a bottle in the front tube. I am happy to report the leaking has stopped. Would buy again.UPDATE June 20, 2011 of original review from October, 2008. I am back on Amazon today ordering another bottle of Slime and wanted while here to update my original review now years old. The Slime product has worked well for me and more than paid for itself by saving me the costs of buying and installing new inner tubes. I did have one flat about a year ago the Slime did not fix, but that was because the tube simply blew out instead of being punctured by a nail, glass, etc. This past week end was a perfect example. I was out riding and somehow picked up a small nail in my back tire. I could hear the air leaking out and hoped the Slime sealed the leak before the tire went flat as I had no pump with me and it would have been a long walk back home. It worked. I had just aired the tire to 50 psi before starting my ride, when I got back the tire was at 40 psi, but the Slime got me home and saved me buying yet another inner tube another. So long as it keeps working I will keep on buying.

I ride about 20 miles per day whenever the weather permits and was averaging one flat tire every 10 days. Then I got Slime and also installed a special liner on the inside of my tires. Have gone many months now with not one flat. The Slime is easy to install and I put half a bottle in each tire. Although it has been about a year, there was also one incident where the Slime sealed the leak long enough for me to get home, avoiding a long walk. I have also noticed that with Slime in the tubes I have to air them less often (tubes naturally lose air over time and prior to Slime I was having to air my tires every week - now I just check them once a month). One caution is in order and that is that Slime does not seal all leaks. Slime is great for punctures, like from a nail, but it usually does not seal cuts or slashes in the tube (say from a piece of glass making much more than a simple puncture).

I bought a digital camera for a friend going on vacation. But the card in the camera was only 32 MB, not enough to hold many photos, and no video. Upgraded to this card and it works perfect and should hold 1000 or so photos or some videos. Very happy. Would buy again.

I have a gas furnace and gas water heater and we wanted a CO alarm just in case vents would not work properly, etc. This is a very simple unit and basically you just plug it into any standard wall outlet. It does not have a battery backup, so those of you looking for that feature will need to consider a different model. The alarm is sufficently loud to wake us up from sleep and that was important to us as well. Very happy. No complaints. Would buy again.

I am a guy who knows little about cooking except to make soup, oatmeal, rice, beans, pancakes, hamburgers and similar light duty food items. For years I have seen stainless steel pots and pans advertised at wildly different price points. I could never understand the reasons for such wild differences in pricing as to my mind stainless steel is stainless steel. I now understand the difference. This set is 18/10 stainless steel, which alloys nickel and chromium (?) with the steel. Wow does the quality go to the moon. I have used them several times this past few weeks and I love them. The handles are indeed cool touch, which saves me the hassle of putting on oven gloves to handle these pans off the stove. They clean up well and easy. They have substantial weight to them. I got the set for $60 and am very pleased with the purchase.

I needed to repair an air purifier that had a phillips screw recessed about six inches into the body of the unit. This was a problem as my existing screwdrivers were not long enough to get to the screw head. Ordered this item and am very pleased with it. Worked fine and is built with quality, something to take note of with so many cheap tools around. Expect this screwdriver to last longer than I do. Would buy again if ever needed.

I use this recorder for notes and to record phone calls (I have a special adapter that plugs from the phone jack into the mike jack on this recorder) and am pleased with it. The recorder is easy on batteries and makes good voice recordings, but you may need to buy an external mike depending on what it is you intend to record. I would NOT recommend this recorder for music. The only reason I give this recorder 4 stars instead of 5 is that it will not operate using an AC/DC adapter, which would save me having to change batteries, because it does not have an external power jack. I am planning on buying an Olympus DS 30 model, which does run on an AC adapter, to record the phones as then I could just leave that unit "on" all the time, whereas with this unit (VN2100PC) I have to turn it on in the morning, off at 5 PM, then put in a new pair of rechargable batteries for the next day's recordings. I will then use this VN2100 PC unit for recording notes, reminders and informal conferences, as it is well suited for that. Transfers of the recordings from the unit to our computers, for storage and later reference, is very easy.

I have a 25 inch head and bought this helmet as it was the cheapest I could find that size. Got it and wore it once and now I am trying to unload it on somebody else. Very uncomfortable helmet, hurts and lacks any real way to adjust it. Maker says can be adjusted using thick or thin pads inside but that is simply not true. If your head is bigger than 24 inches get something else. I went back and got the Bell Triton helmet (about $35) and it is perfect. I recommend the Bell Citi or the Bell Triton helmets, not this Razor helmet. The Bell helmets are a bit more expensive, but these helmets are usually a once in a lifetime expense and it is better to spend the extra money to get a good looking helmet that fits well, is comfortable, and is fully adjustable than this Razor model. Another drawback to this Razor helmet is no visor for sun/rain. Buy the Bell Citi or better yet the Bell Triton.

I bought a set of these on sale for $15 for use in our law office kitchen area and they are great. No rust or stains have developed, unlike with some of the cheap 18/0 stainless steel sets we had before. The pieces are heavy and substantial looking and very impressive.

I purchased this Kitchen fire extinguisher for our kitchen and it arrived promptly and in good fully charged condition. I have not used it and hope I never need to. Because this is a disposable unit that cannot be recharged I cannot test it. I deduct 1 star because I cannot test it.

I needed something I could cook pancakes, bacon and sausage on in my law office as we often pull "all nighters" preparing for the next day in court. This thing was inexpensive and does the job well. I give it 4 stars not 5 for 2 reasons. First, I do not recommend it for cooking hamburgers as it does not remove enough grease. I use a George Foreman grill for that and the Foreman grill does a better job of getting rid of unwanted fat and grease. Second, when cooking sausage on this thing, the griddle plates are removable and easy to clean. But the grease splatters at times and when it does it gets on the rest of the unit, especially where the temp dials are at the front. Not hard to clean, but a pain in the neck. I highly recommend this for pancakes, bacon, fried hot dogs and stuff like that. Very happy overall. I would also note that although this is a folding griddle, it is not a "contact" griddle. In other words, you cannot use it in the folded position at all, unlike say a George Foreman grill. You must lay it out flat to use it, then fold it after cleaning to store it. Takes up little space when folded

I bought 6 of these for my law office, which is the entire second floor of a 120 year old building in downtown Louisville with 2,000 square foot of space. Because the old building has 2 foot thick brick walls I needed something powerful that would go thru. These have worked perfectly from day one and use little in the way of batteries. I now have them hooked up using a 120/12V AC to DC adapter to save even more on batteries. Without the adapters, I needed to change batteries once every 6 months, but using cheap AA batteries from Walgreens, even that was not expensive. Highly recommend
