It lays a little shorter than shown in picture. Other than that it's a fabulous item that I would recommend.

Believe it or not, I had never seen the original Terminator film from start to finish. So, when I found it offered on Amazon at a good price, I decided to buy it.Even judged by today's standards, when CGI and over the top special effects are run of the mill stuff, this 1984 film holds up very well. The "hunter/killers" that fly over LA by night, shooting lasers at anything that moves are very well done for the time, as are the Terminators. The piercing, red robot eye that Arnold's Terminator reveals behind his human flesh exterior is haunting, revolting and amazing, all at the same time. The final confrontation scene, when the Terminator has been reduced to his naked, mechanical skeleton, is also extremely well done for the time, and again, those Satanic red eyes add to the suspense and uneasiness that the viewing audience feels as they watch this machine relentlessly pursue Sarah Connor.The programmed determination of the Terminator becomes evident very quickly, and Reese's description of it to Sarah brings chills to one's spine, as he describes how the Terminator will never stop hunting her down, never stop trying to kill her as long as either she or he are still alive and operating. How could anyone ever go to sleep again after finding that out?Of course, the chase scenes are still some of the best that I've ever seen, and they move the pace of the film along at breathtaking speeds. And, the famous "I'll be back" line that leads to an incredible police station shootout is as great as ever.The Blu Ray transfer of this film is good, but it will not stun you with 1080p, super high def HDMI pictures. I did not find anything to quibble about with the video quality, though, and for a transfer of a 1984 film, I was entirely pleased and was in no way distracted by any obvious video shortcomings. Likewise, I was pleased with the sound mix on my 7.1 surround system, with much of the music and effects tracks coming through the surround speakers, while dialog mainly existed in the front and center channels. Don't expect any big booms or earthshaking, sudden explosions from your sub, as they aren't there. In my experience, the sub just added the overall bass and low key effects that were needed to fill in the rest of the tracks and make them realistic. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience both video and audio wise.This is the first film in a great action series, and I highly recommend it. It'll be a classic, for sure.

I remember seeing this film for the first time when it played on HBO back in the early 80's. I was just getting into photography at the time, and I was immediately struck by the masterful use of light and composition that this film exhibited. It was almost as if the great story and interesting characters were a bonus to the photography! Especially appealing to me is the opening sequence, where the car's headlights are shown through the sheer curtains of the house at night, then the camera follows them as they move across the walls of Sissy Spacek's bedroom, stopping on a family photo, with a small porcelain flower's shadow showing on the face of the family photo. If you appreciate great photography, this is it!Other noticeably great photographic sequences include the thunderstorm, where the power goes out while Nita and her new sailor friend, Teddy Roebuck, are talking to each other across the kitchen table. The room goes completely dark, and we see both characters illuminated only by the flashing of the lightning bolts through the window, and by a cigarette lighter. Another occurs when Teddy brings Nita a pair of stockings, and she holds them up to inspect them, pushing her hand into them while the backlight of a candle on the kitchen table gives a very soft iridescence and glow to her silhouetted arm, while she and Teddy hold hands. Then, too, there is the masterful use of light coming from a hidden part of the room where Nita is taking a bath, which illuminates her from the side with a warm glow, while the troublemaker Triplet brothers window peep outside her house.This is one of those great sleeper movies that are seldom known or seen, but are quiet gifts when found. From an industry which I generally tend to loathe in this day and age, I recognize and classify "Raggedy Man" as a movie made by masters of their craft. It is both a feast for eyes and ears.

I've been shooting Kodachrome 64 since about 1983, so I guess that I'm a fairly "new" user. When I first became addicted to the 35mm SLR photography hobby, I started out with prints, just like everybody else. Since I wasn't doing my own darkroom work, I quickly became disenchanted with the wide variance of quality and color reproduction that prints offered. Have you ever tried to take a properly exposed picture of a night scene with a moon in the background, and then have it printed so that it doesn't come out looking like a light bulb in a gray soup? You know what I'm talking about. Plus, I was displeased with the resolution that prints seemed to offer.After hearing and reading about Kodachrome 64, I tried a roll of it, and I haven't looked back. Like others here, I was absolutely flabbergasted at the fine grain, detail, and color saturation that I saw. This is what photography is all about. This film allows a photographer to truly stretch his limits and try to develop his skills to their fullest potential. When he does things right, he is richly rewarded by what he sees. I have Kodachrome 64 slides in my library that I will cherish until the day that I die.While I've also gone digital within the past few years, I keep my Nikon gear and some Kodachrome 64 on hand for those, "I really want to keep this and have it turn out great" shots. Plus, there's still something reassuring about having a moment in time that I can hold in my hand, rather than trapped inside a computer as a bunch of 1's and 0's.I hope that they never stop making this film.

I've owned the D560Zoom since May, 2003, when I bought it just in time for my oldest daughter's graduation from college. From the start, I was amazed at the incredible detail and picture quality available from a 3.2MP camera. I'm not a professional photographer, but I've had some education, and I do know perhaps a little more about photography, lighting and composition than most novices.I've owned a Nikon SLR and shot on little else but Kodachrome 64 since the mid 80's. I'd figured that this digital camera would serve as a backup to my Nikon, and get very little actual use. In fact, just the opposite has occured. The Nikon sits in its bag with its array of lenses, flashes and filters, and I reach for the Olympus when I go on vacation or attend a family function. It's just so easy to use, and while the white balance and exposure may not be perfect all the time, they're very, very close. I have shot some really incredible photos with this little camera, including some of my younger daughter's wedding which actually turned out better than the hired photog's pictures.My biggest complaint with this camera is its tendency to cause red-eye, which is due to the fact that the flash is so close on axis to the lens. This is just the way it is in a camera of this size and price, and is not a fault unique to Olympus.I also had some problems getting the camera to power up so that I could download photos from it to my computer when it was new. Since then, I've discovered that this was a bug related to the firmware in the camera when used with a computer that runs an AMD based chipset, like my Compaq 6430NX Presario. I solved the problem by buying an externally powered USB hub, and plugging the camera into that. No more troubles. I've since learned that Olympus has a firmware upgrade for the camera, but it requires that the camera be returned to them.As another reviewer stated, one needs to understand the workings and limitations of alkaline batteries, and why they're not a good choice for this or any other digital camera. They're fine for penlights and garage door openers, but not cameras. I used the set that came with mine only to power up the camera long enough to become familiar with the menus, then I threw them out and bought some NiMH. In the end, I think the problems that most people have experienced with this camera are due to a lack of understanding of how the camera works, and what its limitations are.Since I've had the camera for almost 3 years, I was thinking of upgrading to a Canon A620, but I still like the picture quality of the D560 so much, that I can't as yet really justify spending $350 or more on a new one that will likely just duplicate what I've already got.

I researched a number of subs for use with my recent home theater project. I almost went with the Energy 8" sub that was recommended for use with my Energy speakers, but my living room is about 15' x 18', and I was concerned that it wouldn't have enough punch to fill the room, without cranking it up too high. I'd rather run a sub with plenty of power at lower volumes than try to stretch a lower powered sub to its limits or run one too loud. I like bass, but I want it to add to the experience only when needed...not overpower or distort. I decided that a 10" sub would be the best for my application, so after reading all I could find on the V1020, I decided to buy it. I have not been disappointed! I have this sub sitting on an Auralex SubDude, and it puts out as much bass as necessary in clean, tight amounts without distortion or any hint of being overdriven. And, this happens with the volume setting at "5"...a long way from max. I had absolutely INCREDIBLE bass during my recent viewing of the AVATAR Blu Ray DVD, but only where it was supposed to be. I also personally like the silver black appearance of the cabinet, and the build quality is excellent. It's certainly as good or better than any other sub I've inspected for less than $300. This is a standout product from BIC, and I give it my complete recommendation.

Like any other mechanical device that I've ever seen reviewed on the internet, there are those who like it, and those who hate it. Usually, the truth is somewhere in between. I am a technical and mechanically inclined person by nature and by trade, and I've found that with a little bit of knowledge, patience, common sense, and...aghast!...time spent reading the operator's manual...99% of the problems with machines that other people report are non-issues.I've owned the Infinity vacuum for a little over 2 years. I replaced an older Panasonic upright that used bags, because replacement bags were getting too expensive. We have 2 cats in the house, so I was vacuuming once a week and filling up a bag about every 3 weeks. I looked at the Dyson, but $599 for a machine that is 98% plastic seemed downright silly to me. Even with R&D; costs factored in, that is a LOT of green for a plastic machine. So, I was happy to find the Infinity at $199.In the time that I've had it, I have NEVER had to replace a belt. I have never even had to try to find the belt. I clean the dust canister every other time that I vacuum. Yes, this is more trouble than simply switching out a bag. In my case, I pop out the dust canister, take it out into my garage, pop open the bottom and shake out the dirt, then remove the screen cylinder and clean it. I use a small air compressor with a nozzle on it to blow out the dust from all of these pieces, and clean the cyclonic chamber. It takes about 10 minutes out of my life...big deal. About the same time that I'd use to smoke a cigarette to help myself get sick with cancer, or 1/20th the time to drink enough beer to get obnoxiously drunk.The only "problem" that I've had with this vacuum was that the cam for the height adjustment wasn't making any change in the actual height after the first 2 clicks, so I checked it and found that it was being obstructed by the bottom of the vac. I removed it and trimmed a little excess material off of it, and now I have the complete range of adjustment from top to bottom. I leave it on the next to last lowest setting, and it sucks things from my carpet that I didn't even know existed.Someone mentioned that it clogged and overheated. If one keeps the canister and dust screen clean, this won't happen. There is a light on the right side of the machine that flashes orange when the airflow is reduced by too much dirt...if this is flashing, stop and clean the freaking machine. I also remove and rinse out the HEPA filters about every 6 months.My wand has never come out when I've inserted it until it clicks. This has just been a great vacuum for 1/3 the price of a Dyson. Learn how to use and maintain it correctly, and one will have little to whine about.

I used several of these Toslink cables in various lengths during my recent home theater build. They are very sturdily built, and the mesh jacket is flexible and affords a high level of protection to the cable. The connector hood is a bit large, but will fit together with other cables onto most devices without problems. I'm getting great sound from my standard DVD player, and from my TV during network shows that broadcast with 5.1 surround, using these cables. There's no need to spend more, and RiteAV offers great service and superior products.

Based on the excellent reviews that they've received, I purchased a set of Energy Take Classic 5 satellite speakers for my home theater-in-a-living room project. Then, I came across the Take LCR's, and I began to research them, too. To make a long story short, I ultimately decided to upgrade the front and center channel speakers with the LCR's, and to use the Take Classics as the satellites in a 7.1 system. This gives me the Take Classic center channel speaker as the only "spare" speaker that remains unused. I chose a BIC V1020 as the sub for this system. Holy cow, this sounds great. My living room is about 16'x18', and there is crisp, detailed sound everywhere. The sound that comes from the LCR's is as if the action and talent is standing at the front of my living room, and the satellites fill in the rear in an outstanding fashion.I went to the trouble of wall mounting all of the speakers, and I installed in wall speaker cable, so that there are no exposed cables anywhere, with the exception of a short length that's visible between the wall exit through a cable bushing and the speaker terminals. Fishing the wire for the satellites was a PITA in the outside walls, but there are a few tricks that make it a bit less so. I do industrial and pro AV work in my own business, so I knew what to expect. Holesawing holes in my basement floor was also not the most fun thing to do, so I'd suggest that this type of install be left to those who are capable and have the right tools.Using the furnished brackets, the LCR's sit close to the wall, and it was difficult to arrive at an exit location for the speaker cable that would not be visible, yet allow sufficient space for wire management without kinking. I wanted to "loop" the cable so that I'd have a longer section of wire available if I needed to remove the speaker, vs. coming directly out of the wall and into the binding posts. At one location, I had to remove and relocate a light switch, so I had to cut and patch drywall, too.In the end, the LCR's look great next to the 55" Samsung LED, and they sound awesome.

I purchased several of the Mediabridge HDMI cables in 3', 6' and 12' lengths for my recent home theater project. Spending $100 for those "other" cables at my local big box store seemed ludicrous, and I needed a reasonably priced alternative, without giving up quality. These cables delivered that and more.My TV is a 55" Samsung LED (non 3D), and the video quality of my AVATAR Blu Ray DVD was breathtaking in 1080P via HDMI. My Pioneer AV receiver also upconverts standard DVD's to 1080P, and even those look exceptional. I could not believe how fantastic my DVD of "Bonnie & Clyde" looked...I was blown away. So, despite the claims of video improvements that 99% of people will never see, and the other 1% will only claim to see, there is no need to spend upwards of $40 for a quality HDMI cable. And, the lifetime guarantee only sweetens the deal. Build quality is robust, and unless one is just exceptionally affluent and looking for a place to spend their money, I see no reason to waste it on premium brand names.

I received this item as a gift for Christmas of 2009, but I'm self employed and don't have a lot of spare time to fiddle with doo-dads. So, I put it away in the closet and just recently dug it out to see how it works.I'm no novice when it comes to dealing with technology, as I make my living that way. I've purchased a number of items that have received spotty reviews, but they've worked great for me because I understand their limitations and operational procedures. Many folks will give something a bad review when they've not read an operations manual, and don't comprehend the capabilities of their device. So, I've always taken negative reviews with a grain of salt.But, this item deserves the bad rap. I had no problem with the software or driver installation. The scanner seems to work as it should. The problem is with the video quality. It's just plain horrible.Perhaps, most of the other reviewers who have stated that they've been satisfied with the results are less picky than I am. I'd love to see their scanned slides in comparison to those that I've scanned. I cannot imagine that they'd judge the quality that I've seen as acceptable. I've calibrated and recalibrated the scanner, for .jpeg and .tif files. I've tried quality settings from "low" to "highest". I've tried dark slides and outdoor, brightly lit slides. It makes no difference. Colors lack saturation, and hues are grossly wrong. Highlights are blown out, contrast is exaggerated and shadow detail is non existent. It looks as if the sampling rate for luminance and chroma is only about 2 bits wide. I understand that I cannot expect a scan with the resolution of Kodachrome 64, but I did expect that something similar to the original product in brightness, contrast and color hue would be presented.My wife wanted to use this to put a bunch of old travel slides to CD that her deceased parents had taken on world trips back in the '70's, but that is out of the question at this point. Paintings done by 3rd graders would be more realistic and lifelike than this.Perhaps, the year long snooze in the closet has affected the scanner, or some other mysterious catastrophe has befallen this thing. But, I doubt it. I think it's just a crummy machine.UPDATE: After writing this review, it occurred to me that perhaps the majority of the problems were a result of the less than stellar video capabilities of the older laptop onto which I had originally installed the ArcSoft software. It's a Dell XP machine, about 6 years old, with integrated graphics. So, I loaded the software onto my 5 month old desktop with Windows 7 and Intel HD graphics. I had a number of problems installing the software and getting it to recognize the scanner on the Windows 7 machine. I won't go into those here, but I was finally able to get the scanner to work on the new machine. While the new scans did look marginally better, and they didn't require QUITE as much editing to get them to look as good as they could, they were still very unsatisfactory, and I could still see all of the problems that I talked about in my review. Too bad. I really wanted to like and use this device. I threw it out in the yard.

...a very SHORT while. I needed a small TV that I could carry with me on my job as an AV, video and CATV services owner. I do a lot of work with school districts, designing and installing their CATV systems. A small TV comes in handy when I need to look at the output of a combiner or a wall drop. When this unit arrived, I opened it up and set it up as I'd need to use it. I did an off-air scan just to see how it picked up the local HD signals. Not bad, as it found most of them, even with the supplied telescoping antenna. So, I tucked it away and waited until I needed to take it to work with me. The first time that I needed to look at a signal in a school's headend, it worked OK. I turned it off, then a few minutes later, I needed to use it again. It came on for about 2 seconds, then went blank. No power LED, no nothing. I checked the AC adapter's output with a voltmeter...it was dead. I found another 12 volt supply that I had, cut the cord from the Haier's supply and quickly spliced it into the new supply's cable, checking to make sure that the polarity at the plug was correct. I slid the power switch to "on", expecting to see the power LED come on, but...nothing. I checked my new power supply...it was OK. Tried again...nothing. I got about 3 minutes of service out of my TV, and now it's RIP. I can't return it because the original power supply has been tossed, and I've dismantled the TV to see if I could repair it. The power switch is junk, but that's not the problem. I did get the power LED to come up a couple of times, but it was only briefly.This little TV is just what I need, so I'll probably buy another one and hope that the 2nd time is better. If that one shoots craps, it's going back.

I ordered this movie because my wife said that she'd like to see it. And, since I'd been subjecting her to a rather lengthy parade of explosion and war movies lately, I felt some obligation to lighten things up a bit.I generally like the theme of time travel, and if the movie looks good, I'll give it a look. This movie seemed to have too much of the time travel element, though...almost to the point where it became irritating. It was as if the main character had absolutely no control over when he was going to be transported to another place and time. If he lost control of his emotions, it was WHOOSH...off he'd go! Then, he'd have to hunt for a new set of clothes when he got there. The little girl/later lover/later wife got to the point where she'd just leave clothes out in the woods for him.In general, the movie is OK, but I think that it could've been much better done. Without giving too much away, there is a time travel scene in which Eric Bana meets some hunters, and the technical aspects of the scene are such that it's incredibly cheesy, as well as obvious that it was contrived in a studio and in post production.Even my wife apologized for making me buy the movie. She agreed that most of my action and war movies were much better done. It's watchable, but it'd be a better Netflix or Vudu rent than a Blu Ray buy.

I was looking for an upgrade to my old Slipstream 5100B modem from AT&T.; The Slipstream was still working fine, but it's about 7 years old and could not take advantage of the newer ADSL2+ speeds. After reading a lot of very negative reviews on other DSL modems, I found the Actiontek GT701D, and was surprised by its mostly favorable reviews. After browsing the specs, I decided to give it a try. I was a bit hesitant about removing the Slipstream, since it was operating great, and I didn't know what to expect from the Actiontek. Fortunately, the new modem installed with a minimum of trouble.After calling up the modem's webpage via its IP address, I clicked on the AT&T; install link, and most of the settings were auto detected. However, the AT&T; setup process could not complete the modem connection, and I had to go into the manual configuration mode to set my user name and network ID. During the setup process, AT&T; furnished me with both of those items, so I didn't need to call them by phone. The user name was my AT&T; email address. After entering both of those items, the modem connected in just a few seconds, and I was up and running.In my case, I did not have to manually set the modem for bridge mode, or make any changes to my router settings (Linksys WRT54G). I did all of this just a few hours ago, but everything is working wonderfully so far. Pages load quickly, and any delays are a result of website or internet issues. If the Actiontek GT701D continues to work as it is right now, I'll be a happy camper.

I had been using an aging Linksys WRT54G router in my home network for a number of years. It had been working fine, and it was so trouble free that I had a tendency to forget that it was there. Although I am on DSL and my speeds are dependent upon the technology and other physical limitations, I decided that it was time to update my router. I bought an N300 TP-Link router, which worked OK, but I noticed that when I pulled up Netflix on my Smart TV, the program icons would stop loading after 3 or 4 of them came up. Shows streamed OK, and when I'd go back to the main menu after watching a program, the icons would finally load. I reinstalled the old 54G, and everything worked normally again, although the icons were slow to load, as usual.Not satisfied to just keep the old router in place, I decided to try the dual band Asus RT-N66U. My home network consists of only a laptop, 2 tablets, 1 smartphone, and a desktop, Smart TV, BluRay player and AV receiver that are all hardwired to the router. I'm not straining the router with 15 or 20 wireless devices, so the N66U is more router than I will ever need on a DSL line.Installation of the N66U was not as quick and easy as the TP-Link, but it was not difficult, especially if one carefully follows the onscreen prompts. It took me 2 attempts to update the firmware, but the first attempt just got hung up. The 2nd attempt sailed through without a problem. I changed the LAN IP address, as the default address conflicted with another device on my network, but that was a simple task to do in the user interface. With that, the router was up and running, and I had internet. I gained about 400kpbs in speed over the TP-Link router, and about 1Mbps over the old 54G.Now, the Netflix icons show up and populate in the blink of an eye, and no longer hang up after loading just a few. Streaming is smooth, with very few blips and suddenly appearing messages that read, "Your internet connection is slow. Please try again later", as happened with the TP-Link router. Pages on my wireless laptop and wired desktop also load faster, and are limited only by the speed of the site/internet and DSL line conditions.The router itself is heavy and feels solid and robust and has a quality feel to it. I'm not an IT guy, and I know just enough to do what I need to do to get things running in most cases, so the stock firmware is more than enough to suit my needs. My only "con" would be that I have the router mounted on a shelf above eye level, so I can't see the blinky blue lights, which I like. The TP-Link did have a bunch of blinky green LED's on the front of it, which were fun to watch. Yeah, I know...whatever.Not sure what goes on for the folks who have bad luck and the 1 star reviewers, but this has been a great router for me, and I am exceptionally pleased with it.

My wife had been urging me to buy a digital photoframe so that we wouldn't have to view them on the computer each time we wished to see them. But, I hadn't found one that appeared to have a quality build, or that I liked well enough without being too expensive. Then, I found the NIX photoframes here on Amazon. After reading reviews and doing some online research, I decided to try the 10.4 inch model. I have been completely pleased with the understated, classic and simple appearance of the frame, and its video quality and ease of operation have been superb. It also has just the right mix of features to organize and playback photos, or jazz up transitions between photos, without being too gimmicky. The remote control is about as basic and tiny as it could be, but it gets the job done. Native resolution on this screen is 800x600, and I helped make things easier for the frame in displaying my photos by downloading a program called "Fotosizer", in which I first resized all of my photos to 800x600 before saving them into folders on an SD card. The process isn't as cumbersome as one might think, and it didn't take long at all. Photos are crisp and clear, and colors are accurate and bright. It also works well with photos taken in the vertical perspective, and they are displayed with black sidebars on the photoframe.I'm thinking of buying the 12 inch model for the fireplace mantle. Great little device, I'm completely pleased.

I bought this receiver to replace a 4 year old Pioneer 7.1 receiver that lost all of its audio channels suddenly and simultaneously. I've only had the Yamaha for about a month, but, hopefully, it'll give me better service than did the Pioneer. The 575 is an outdated model now, having been supplanted by the 577, but I didn't need or want built in wireless WiFi, and I certainly didn't want to pay an additional $170 for a receiver that otherwise had nearly identical specs. I was glad to find that Amazon still had the 575 in stock at a good price.The Yamaha receiver doesn't look as snazzy as the Pioneer, but I liked it just the same. All of my input device connections (Blu Ray player, DVD recorder, TV, attic mounted AM/FM antennas and LAN ethernet) transferred directly to the back of the 575.I'm not interested in using Bluetooth or my phone with this rig, so wireless capability for playback and control is a moot point with me. The receiver is hardwired to my Asus router, as is my Blu Ray player and TV. The receiver immediately found my router and configured itself before I could even call up the page to look at the settings. Internet radio is easy to use and works like a dream. There are tons of stations available in many genres, depending upon your tastes. Right now, I'm listening to some peaceful Celtic tunes.Automatic speaker setup using the YPAO routine is also fast and easy. After running the setup routine, I find that the sound from my surround speakers is more noticeable and full than it was with the Pioneer, and the sub seems to have found some new energy, as well. The menu offers me the capability of going in and making changes to my speaker and sound settings (such as EQ), but I doubt that I'll need to fiddle with them. Overall, I am entirely pleased with the quality of sound from this receiver.While there are many features available from this unit, the vast majority of people will use only a few of them. I've found that the ones that I've needed are simple to use and setup, and provide a good level of adjustment and choices for sound quality. I've found that the "Enhancer" feature for use with MP3's and other compressed soundstreams (such as streaming movies from Netflix or Vudu) works very well. I also like that maximum volume levels can be set via a menu. This might come in handy for someone who lives in an apartment. The menu item for lip sync adjustments can also easily be found, which was not the case with my Pioneer.My TV is connected to the receiver via an optical Toslink cable to the receiver's AV4 input, which I have relabeled "TV". The receiver selects AV4 as its default input for sound from a TV, so all I had to do was rename that input. The hot button labeled "TV" on the remote pulls that input up with 1 touch, and audio is there. The same thing is true for Blu Ray (BD), internet radio (Net) and the radio tuner.Speaking of remotes, I can understand how the remote might seem a bit complicated and over populated for many people. Personally, I like it. Believe it or not, it's a huge step up from my Pioneer remote, which was almost insane for the the amount of tiny buttons and cryptic, nearly invisible labels that it had on it. I won't miss that. I'm not a fan of trying to make 1 remote do everything with everything, so I prefer to use the remote that came with the machine. I keep them all in a drawer, out of sight in the center section of my loveseat.Even though I've had the RX-V575 for a short while, I'm liking what I see. If it lasts, I think I'll be happy with it for quite some time.

I read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy. This book was very different-a Jinni and a Golem living in New York when people still had carriages in Central Park. I enjoyed the historical aspects of the immigrant societies in New York. I liked the characters-and I liked the fact that the end of the book completed the story. But I liked the story so much I'd like to have a sequel!

First-Based on the name and the front photo, I expected each month to be a picture of an adult dog with a puppy. Most months featured a picture of either a puppy or an adult dog, but not together.But my MAJOR complaint is the ATYPICAL layout. On every calendar I have ever seen, Sunday is the first day of the week. On this calendar the week BEGINS on a Monday, and Sunday is at the end of the week. This already caused me to miss schedule 2 appointments-after two weeks I took the calendar down and bought another one.

I was very disappointed in the dance routine. There is a warm up and cool down and in between a short routine. Very short. I thought I missed something and kept rewinding and forwarding the DVD. If you have any rhythm at all, you will find this workout/dance boring. If you are looking for a fun way to workout which lasts more than a few minutes, I would suggest the Brazilian Dance Workout.

I love the stainless steel rack and it is of good quality. The draw back is that I can't fit much into the small areas. The hooks to hand cups or glasses are very close together which means they are unusable. There is a space between the hooks and the dish rack which is wasted since nothing can be stored there. All in all I am a little disappointed in this product since it was so expensive. I will probably go back to using my plastic dish rack which is more functional.

I myself had the same problem with the battery charger. I contacted the seller and was told to take pictures of the battery charger and send them to him. After taking the time to take the photos, upload the photos, and send the photos they finally told me they would give me a full refund. I agree with the other review. This should be taken off the market.

I tried to hook up my extender with no luck. I phoned the company and left my name and number and they called back in about 45 minutes. My tech spent over 30 "patient" minutes walking me through the set-up process which didn't want to take. I felt frustrated but he was so reassuring and professional. I had a weird glitch he never experienced but he still managed to get me hooked up and running. Now my guests that stay at my inn in our annex building have internet access in their room. Thanks so much! I am very happy with this product.

This was an upgrade from an EOS 40D. I am so happy with all the little extra's this camera offers along with the easy to use flip out screen. Anyone can use the manual mode successfully without having to use a guide book. They make it so simple! Plus I can record a video. I just purchased an expensive microphone so there is no need to bring a video camera for special occasions. I am very happy with this purchase.

I don't really like the shiny cover so I purchased a skin to put on my computer. I love that I can burn cd's and make photo cd's as well. I could not for the life of me locate the start button or any of my programs since the bar is hidden on the right. Somewhere. It shows up when you don't want it to show up. This computer should come with an instruction manual. I am still struggling with how to use this computer. The touch pad drove me nuts until a friend disabled it for me. I like my old, dead Windows Vista so much better and it is also user friendly.

This item was nicely packaged, but the screens were dirty and the bezel around the screens were lightly scuffed. There was nothing sealed in the box, nor was there protective film on the screens. I truly believe that the seller sent me a used or refurbished item and claimed it was new. Had this been a gift, I would have never known and the person I gave it to would have a used product that I paid new pricing for.

This book may not be suitable for the elderly, pregnant women or people with heart conditions because it will cause your heart to trip, flutter and even break. The premise of the book may seem familiar, but D.J. Molles makes it much more personal and real. The remaining is a fantastic series. I can't get enough.

I really liked the book, however the main character seemed typical of Robin Cook's lead men.The character was too naive. He constantly found himself in situations resulting from his impulsive actions. Had he read any mystery novel or seen any courtroom drama movie he would have known that the "bad guys" cant be beat in a face to face fight.Despite the utter predictability of it, it was a good read that kept me entertained. I'd still recommend it - particularly if you've never read a mystery novel or seen a courtroom drama movie.

This is perhaps my favorite John Nance novel. Of course, I love the attention to detail he gives the airline industry - he is a pilot, after all.Final approach gives drama to an aircraft accident investigation and still finds the emotion involved too. The irony of many investigations and Nance finds this in Approach as well is that the true cause is often not dramatic at all, but the outcome is still deadly.Nance almost entices me into quitting the pilot job and becoming an accident investigator.

Just like the first two books in The Remaining series, this book is amazing. I couldn't believe it - so many twists and turns that I never saw coming. All the while with rich character development and thought provoking prose. D.J. Molles transports me to the realm of The Remaining once again. I'm absolutely engaged and enthralled. I feel like one of the fellow residents of Camp Ryder. When they're cold, I'm cold, when the infected are on the hunt, I'm scared. I haven't been this into a book in a LONG time. This book series is an addiction. The Remaining is not just another zombie book, it's a wild ride in and out of humanity and beyond.

Whether trance/chill is Utada's standard fare, she's got a hit with these remixes. The Double J Extended mix is by far my favorite and what brought me from Pandora to purchase this in the first place. If you like trance-chill from the likes of ATB, Oceanlab, & Oakenfold, you won't be disappointed.

I started using a variety of pre-shave oils a couple years ago to prevent ingrown hairs and skin irritation. I've tried several different oils and really like American Crew Essential Shave Oil.My routine:1) Wash my face with soap or cleanser and warm water.2) Apply Shave Oil3) Apply Shaving cream4) Shave5) Rinse6) Apply MoisturizerWhy I prefer American Crew Essential Shave Oil:It only takes a small amount to cover my entire face.The oil has a pleasant smell.It also has somewhat of a warming effect not unlike some other pre-shave, warming creams.Significantly increases the lubrication for shaving.No razor burn, bumps or ingrown hairs.The Price is right.Overall, I'd recommend American Crew Essential Shave Oil to anyone who wants to prevent razor burn, bumps or ingrown hairs. It feels great, improves a shave and is competitively priced. I've reordered and will continue to do so.

I was surprised to find so many features on this printer for the price - it made me suspicious. Lexmark, however, delivered. The printer is full of features, looks great and the setup was VERY SIMPLE and quick.The software was incredibly intuitive and took me through the setup process in about five minutes - and the printer & scanner were ready to go via our in-home wireless network. The scan and print quality are great.If it's possible for a printer to look good, it actually does; better than the box image. The control layout is simple and logical. It even has memory card slots, though we haven't tried them since we don't use them with other products.After trying a competing brand to considerable disappointment, we were very happy about everything with this printer. Score one for Lexmark!

Based upon Amazon reviews, we purchased this printer. The setup was simple, but the print quality was terrible. Everything was completely mis-aligned on each printed page. Canon offers an alignment process, but it is reminiscent of some complicated process one might go through with an '80s-era dot-matrix printer.In the end it will not align and is going back for something else. Should a new printer need maintenance right out of the box? I'm pretty disappointed.

I had once had a MRSA infection and was trying to prevent such a reoccurrence from in-grown hairs, shaving cuts, etc. Jack Black Mr. Fix It works great. Though not a scientific analysis, it seem to heal up sores quicker and more effectively than neosporin and related products. Since using Mr. Fix It, cuts, in-grown hairs, etc have healed well with no visible infection. I've just purchased another bottle and will buy it again.

I was looking for an ultra-slim case for my new 4s (Sprint). Though I'd had my eye on others, I decided on this because of its semi-hard, semi-gel feel and wrap-around to the top of the phone. It adds very little bulk to the phone, slides in and out of my pocket and fits into docks easily. The side opening for volume and mute buttons is open so it fits both GSM & CDMA iPhone 4/4s models.I wasn't crazy about the pattern on the back of the phone, but the utility out-weighs it. If I had one suggestion for the manufacturer, I'd make the same case with material that was just a bit harder as the screen side edge near the buttons flexes off the side of the phone and is probably the weak point in protection.Overall, I'm very happy with this case. I don't have a screen protector on the phone and feel like this case is likely protection enough given how I use the phone. I would certainly recommend this case for someone looking for slim protection for their phone and I'd certainly buy it again.

This case is a semi-hard, rubberized plastic that conforms tightly to the phone. It adds little bulk and seems to offer protection on all sides (even wrapping around the front glass), but of course only a few drops will tell for certain. The holes for the bottom speaker/connectors and mute switch are precisely cut with good fit and finish. The mute button is a little deep set with this case on now and a little difficult to slide - but I have short fingernails. The sides of the case are a slightly more grippy material than the back and hence I find the phone easier to hold with the case on. The backing material is a softer, almost fine granular material so the phone slips into and out of my pocket as if no case were on it. I was surprised by how shiny the material around the edges is on this smoked color case. It's not bad, just a bit more than I was expecting from the pictures. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the case. After the first week with the new iPhone 5 naked, I wasn't sure I'd like the case at all, but the grippy sides and all-around protection of this case have changed my mind. I'm glad I purchased this case. I would definitely recommend it to others and I was definitely buy this case again.

The Fintie SmartShell Case for iPad Air is a very solid case - especially for the price. Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations given the price of the case, but I have been pleasantly surprised. The fit of the case is very good. It's snug and tight. The top flap closes pretty well with the installed magnets and I like the three-folds of the top. This allows a slightly higher angle for the iPad, which I personally prefer. The plastic of the case is also much thinner than other cases I've owned, yet still appears to provide some protection for the iPad. I like the thinner feel as compared to others.My only critique is the edges on the corners of the case are just a little bit sharp. If they were sanded down just a smidge, this would be a five-star rated case.Overall, I'd recommend this case for someone who wants a clean, simple, thin, form-fitting, budget case for an iPad.

The PowerGen Dual worked great for about one month. Thereafter it began having a buzzing sound and often a spark when plugged in. Finally after two months of use it became too sensitive to any movement and would shut off if the plug wasn't in jut the right spot.Too bad. It was compact and useful for traveling while it lasted.

This is a great iPhone 5s case. It fits perfectly. It is very slim and so tight fitting, it barely feels like there is much of a case on the phone at all. Though it is pretty slim, it does a good job of protecting the phone (at least so far). Even with a few minor drops from waist height, the phone and the case are in great shape. I also like the clear case; it does not diminish the esthetic of the iphone design. The price for the case was right, too.Overall, this is one of the favorite cases I've owned for a smart phone and I'll definitely be buying it again for my next phone.

I travel for a living. After upgrading to the iPad Air, I was looking for a slim, powerful alternate charging source for the iPad and my iPhone. Ideally, the solution would have allowed pass-through charging. The Astro 3E is exactly what I have been looking for.The fit and finish of the battery pack is great - it is solid, attractive and simple. Charging the Astro happens easily overnight using my 12 V iPad USB base and a micro-usb cable. Pass-through charging is possible (charging your electronics while the unit is being recharged). Output of the Astro is completely as advertised. I was waiting at a packed airport after a long day of traveling with no power outlets in sight and my iPad and iPhone were just about out of charge. I plugged them both into the Astro and the batteries of both were boosted considerably within an hour.The Astro 3E is a great addition to any road warrior's travel bag. The slim design doesn't take up much room in my bag, it provides considerable back-up power when it's needed and looks good doing it. I would recommend it and I would definitely buy it again.

when I received the phone I was happy first because it looked sleek and modern. I had order color plates to give everyone their own phone identity. When I put the phone together and started to use it, the sound quality was very low and I even bought a headset to plug in there was none to do so. The fact the price was good I'd expect a lil more better service !

I love the Salton yogurt maker. It makes yogurt making so easy. It is done in one container so you do not have to deal with little storage jars. It is really just a simple device to keep a steady temperature. You just plug it in and let it go. After it is done, if you strain the yogurt while in the refrigerator it becomes perfect creamy Greek style. Search the web for informative sites about the yogurt making process.Watch the price. It seems to fluctuate.

It took about 12 adjustments with this quite unusually designed seat to get it to work for me. I also had to raise the handlebars and change the seat height. But now that it is set, I like it. It offers a much more comfortable ride. A little more padding might make it better and I believe that the newer Easy Seat II is more padded. It seems as if all bike seats should have this design. Makes much more sense.

I actually had to purchase this item twice, which is partially my own fault. The hood release cable broke the day I bought my 96 civic from a family friend back in January. I bought this item almost immediately afterward as a replacement but I procrastinated until there was a warmer day to do the work. The way mine broke I couldn't simply pull the cable by hand to open the hood - I had to remove the front grill and then unbolt the hood latch to even open my hood (and I don't have a garage). Did the swap, and at the end while attaching the new one to the latch it broke just the same way the original did! I believe the plastic piece that slides in and anchors the cable to the latch gets very brittle in cold temperatures. By this time it had been too long to send back for refund or replacement.Waited until warmer weather to try that job again, so I had to buy a second... The plastic piece that seems to break easily could be aluminum instead and not break... Honda parts told me theirs had been modified from the original part, but couldn't confirm if this plastic piece had been changed to a stronger material, so in the end I just went with the least expensive option again - which was the Dorman. 3 stars because "it's okay". I would give 3 1/2 stars due to low price if I could.

A sound upgrade was well needed for the bedroom. A subwoofer was a requirement, and I didn't like the idea of having the wiring clutter of a 5.1 system to deal with. I also wanted to keep the price low. For all those reasons this soundbar was an excellent choice. Plus it is Boston Acoustics, so I had a little more faith in the purchase.I read the reviews on Amazon, and considered the possibility of running into some of the problems mentioned. My unit seemed to function properly, and programming the soundbar to my remote was quite easy (initially just programming the most basic functions). I placed the subwoofer just below and off to one side on our tv stand, and I was getting clear bass tones with no popping or clicking, or any other sort of interference.The wireless subwoofer and controls being programmed to your tv remote just seemed to be excellent 'extras' with buying this system. And although you cannot call this true "surround sound" the tones are clear, rich, and vibrant - and the stereo sound is clearly directional (excellent for video games). However, it was by playing video games that the TVee 25 revealed the only problem I have encountered...In our home the wireless router is in the basement, and devices on the second floor always have excellent wireless connectivity. I noticed after setting up the TVee 25 that the Xbox in the bedroom kept logging me out of xbox live, occasionally re-connecting a few minutes later (or sometimes longer). Playing anything online, this wireless interference became immediately noticeable... At first I was very upset and on the verge of returning the TVee 25.I went and re-read the amazon reviews and saw many people saying that because BA chose the same wireless frequency range for the TVee 25 as most wireless routers I was going to have interference unless I upgraded to a new 5 GHz router... I lamented for the days of old where I knew when it came to speakers, at least everything had to be hard-wired... The most help online came from BA's website. It stated that it could not guarantee that there would not be wireless interference, but it suggested a few things. First, consider how you have the soundbar and subwoofer oriented. Even BA's website does not state where on the soundbar the wireless transmitter is. By my own experimentation it is on the right side (where the bottons are). The TVee 25 may transmit at the same frequency as my wireless router, but it does not have the same range. I put the subwoofer as far right as possible on the lower shelf (only about 18 inches from the subwoofer) and made sure my xbox was as far left as possible. With this change of orientation I immediately noticed SOME improvement. Secondly, you must adjust the small 'wireless ID' switches on BOTH the soundbar and subwoofer. By default both were set to 1. For me, setting both to 4 was enough to correct the problem altogether, and now I don't notice any interference while connected to Xbox Live, streaming Netflix, or online gaming.Honestly, if you like the way you have the soundbar and subwoofer oriented in your own setup just try adjusting the wireless ID switches. Remember they must be 'paired' so the selection must MATCH on both devices, but this gives you a little flexibility to select the frequency at which the TVee 25 transmits. You can also do this on your router, but it's not as easy as moving 2 switches. The maximum range between the TVee 25 soundbar and subwoofer is also fairly small, but it seems that the closer the two are the less it interferes with other devices in close proximity. Even when I had interference with my Xbox360 (on the same shelf as the subwoofer) I didn't notice any interference with my laptop on the opposite wall of the bedroom. My phone also didn't seem to slow down while browsing the internet through the home network or be unable to connect, and that was even closer in proximity to the TVee 25.I suppose my suggestion is to do a little experimenting if you are encountering this problem before you decide to return your unit. I am glad I found a solution that worked for me, and also glad that I can keep my TVee 25! It really is an excellent soundbar system, and for the price I bought it, outstanding. Not everyone may be able to find a similar solution, but I hope that my experience helps at least someone out there who was as frustrated as I was at first.

If you read the previous poster's comments, I agree 100% and wish I would have read them before I bought this ridiculously cheap toy. I opened the box upon receipt and couldn't believe my eyes. This toy is so poorly constructed. The worst part was the "white" board is not a white board at all. It is a laminated piece of cardboard. Not worth $2.00, let along the $20.00 it is selling for. I am VERY disappointed that Amazon would even stock such junk. DO NOT BUY this "toy". Your children deserve much better. I am returning this and getting my money back. My second return in 6 years of consistent purchases on Amazon.com.

I decided to give Pampers a try after using Huggies up to size 4. Since I had heard that the Dry Max technology in Pamper diapers causes diaper rashes I bought Swaddlers Sensitive (size 4) because based on the description I read on amazon, this line did not have the Dry Max technology. A week after my daughter has been wearing them she developed a rash which cream and more frequent changing has done nothing to help, while in the past she NEVER had rashes. I just checked the Pampers website and lo and behold, they DO use the dry max technology from size 3 and up in the Swaddlers Sensitive line. I feel so bad for my little girlie and annoyed that I wasted my money buying Papers.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this book because I tend to opt more for the obviously Princess genre, but this book blew me away. Elegantly written, fantastic story-line and an ending to blow you away later and I am so glad I picked "The Ugly Stepsister Strikes Back" up! Thank you Sariah Wilson for this story, and I look forward to reading other novels by you.
