The WEP200 is a great bt headset, not only is the smallest headset around and has great clarity as well. I have tested and tried my WEP200 on the MDA, DASH, and Samsung slider phones and this device worked beautifully. I thought it would be difficult to use because of it's size and boy was I surprised. Easy to use, small and very functional as well as no problems with pairiing with any of the phones mentioned above.This device is well worth the money!!!!!! buy and see for yourself

Stewart did a great job of putting you in this amazing era. It's a must see film for any Police fan. Stewartdidn't shoot as much footage once Ghost in the Machine came out and beyond, so keep that in mind. But what hedid shoot and how he put it all together is a fun ride with the group. Stewart also created a soundtrack for hisfilm by re-editing Police studio and live multi-tracks to create something new. And it works! My only complaint isthat even though the box and disc itself state that the DVD is encoded with both DTS and Dobly Digital 5.1, theywere not encoded in the mastering and manufacturing of this title. I've notified Stewart's web site about thiswhen the title was released a few years ago, but never received a response. Note, the stereo mixes are on thereand sound great...but.

No DTS or Dolby 5.1 for Stewart's new mixes!

"Billed as a 25-Year Anniversary Box Set, Ut Gret's (rhymes with toot sweet) Recent Fossils is a three-disc exploration of the boundlessness of improvisational music while demonstrating how it can all still fit within the structure of composition. In packaging as handsome as a new pastor's first Bible, the selections in Fossils range from pieces built around gamelan music (disc one, "Compositions for Experimental Gamelan") to a variety of improvisational works (disc two, "Idiomatic and Non-idiomatic Improvisations") and finally to their interpretation of an iconic modern work (disc three, "In C by Terry Riley"). The core members of Ut Gret - Joee Conroy, Gregory Acker, Steve Good, Gary Pahler and Stephen Roberts - are joined by an all-star team of improvisational and jazz musicians, including Louisville's Todd Hildreth and Misha Fegin, along with David Stilley, Dr. Eugene Chadbourne, Dean Zigoris, Henry Kaiser and several others. What they all accomplish together is simply astonishing for anyone with ears willing to open and minds ready to receive. In the first disc, the pieces are based around a gamelan (chime-y instruments that have the ring of a glockenspiel with the low sound textures of a marimba) and underlying each piece is a soothing tone, like background music for a massage session, while any overlaying melodies sometimes crash together like cars in a dirt track race. Selections on the second disc are heavily rooted in jazz and fusion with some touches of folk and rock. The third disc, Ut Gret's rendition of Terry Riley's In C, was recorded live at the long-gone Tewligan's Tavern, the only place in Louisville where an audience could hear something like Ut Gret one night then slam dance to punk rock the next. Riley's lengthy work is considered a masterpiece of modern music, ranked with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Of Ut Gret's performance, the curious will understand. Others might just hear discomforting noise. And that's OK. The other two discs (along with the scholarly liner note booklet) themselves are worth the investment in the set. Ut Gret takes its name from two concepts: Ut, a German term to indicate the lowest tone on an organ (also called the base tone) and Gret, taken from the name of the mischievous nomadic people from thousands of years ago who would roam from village to village and alter artifacts, leave behind others from different places and just generally screw around with cultures. In the improvisational music brought to us by Ut Gret in Recent Fossils, we get a foundation (a hint of a composition, if you will), which is the ut of their music and the sometimes zany exploration of improvisation, which is their gretness. In the three-disk set, Recent Fossils gives us a deeper structure of music: the tones behind the notes you hear and the rumblings under the rhythms you feel. Like In C or Picasso's Guernica or William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, it's a grand experiment in an art." By Tim Roberts

"Steve Roberts plays keyboards and trumpet in this sextet with this being the band's third official release, and there is some really great music here. Ut Gret have been together for over a decade and the musicianship contained on this new disc is really tight. Radical Symmetry is made up of eleven tracks ranging in length from a very brief :48 seconds which is perhaps more of a musical interlude to a rather lengthy 16:16. If you've never heard Ut Gret before this disc will be a real treat. The band structure their musical direction around a progressive rock feel but then inject all sorts of unusual instruments and sounds as well as a wide range of ethnic or world influences. They play like a jazz ensemble, with lots of individual solos coming in and out of the compositions; sometimes the notes are quite angular and even dissonant, but rarely to any lengthy degree. But to my ears what caught me off guard, is that while Ut Gret aren't afraid to take these little musical excursions, they promptly return to some really meaty melodies and rhythms. Take for example the first track "Insect Probe" [3:22], where within seconds we're into a rolling King Crimson kind of vibe that builds in intensity until it plateaus musically with woodwinds providing a lilting melody over top of the proceedings. It's light and upbeat and yet totally serious in direction. The second track "Souvenir City" [6:18] begins with various reeds, woodwinds and other sounds all in a kind of "tuning up" mode for the first 60 seconds setting stage for a really subdued and very cool jazzy combo number that features vocals. This is a very neat track that returns to various themes over and over again. But my all time favorite track is "A Walk in the Garden" [5:09] with its beautiful melodies and flute work it's really a moving piece of music. The challenge with a band like Ut Gret is that there is so much going on musically that it's difficult to really describe the music; one minute it's very avant-garde like a sound poem and the next it's rumbling heavy prog, then out of nowhere the music sounds Middle Eastern, then were back to a jazzy feel and then it's Asian no wait it's almost ambient. Whew! The amount of musicality is simply mind-blowing! Radical Symmetry won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I have to say if you enjoy adventurous progressive rock with symphonic and world influences played with a jazz flair, this is the disc for you. To my ears Ut Gret have really got it right with this disc, the experimentation is there both compositionally and in the performances, but they never lose the plot as it all hangs together on some really wonderful pieces of music. This is a very captivating disc that's really worth every minute getting into." Jerry Lucky

You might have mentioned that this map was published in 1967!!!! (Publication date in upper left corner of map itself.)In fact, it is described as follows: "Michelin Travel Publications; Revised edition (May 1, 2000)"The age of the map, which APPEARS to be the ACTUAL age, not a reproduction, (e.g. stamped with $0.75 price and rather yellowed.)Comparing it with a custom wall map of the area that we ordered from the French Tourism Bureau, many roadways have been expanded and several new sections added, quite noticably around Cherbourg in the wall map. This map shows large undeveloped areas between Cherbourg and Octeville, whereas today these cities have geographically merged. The differences are not explained by a revision date of 2000. In fact, the two cities officially merged in 2000 and a revision in that year would have certainly have been labeled Cherbourg-OctevilleI purchased THIS map for my husband to use when he goes for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day this summer. I felt the described map, updated in 2000, would be adequate, but a 1967 map is obviously far too outdated to be of any practical value in navigating in 2014 France.Please clarify or correct the details on your listing or send out the map you describe.

Our old glass suction mount was a nightmare for us to use. When my husband, over 6 ft, mounted it where he could see it and reach the touchscreen easily, I (5 ft, 3") could not reach it at all and its position actually blocked much of my right front view. My preferred location was too close and too low for him. Also, our windshield ended up looking like an octopus had attacked from all of the round suction marks!This new mount has been a dream! We just lift and shift the entire mount to the perfect location for each of us (or either of our sons). It is equally simple to set it up to use in a rental car.Another nice feature was that I could set the entire mount on my lap if I needed to enter an address or search for a nearby Thai restaurant for lunch so the driver could keep his eyes and hands engaged solely in driving. This feature was literally a lifesaver when I needed a real human "voice prompt" in heavy traffic with several construction detours near Washington, DC.I also noticed that there is much less vibration when we hit rough pavement. The "beanbag" seems to dissipate the shock so it is easier to read and so the GPS's processor and memory are less likely to be damaged.I agree with another poster's comments about how easy it is to put the mount and GPS out of sight to avoid attracting thieves. It also makes it a simple matter to protect the unit from direct sunlight and heat on hot summer days.One final advantage over suction mounts, the "beanbag" mount never fails to stay in place on very cold winter days. Our suction mount spontaneously fell off the window several times when the cup became too rigid to maintain suction, or when the defroster blowing on the mount after several hours in the low teens caused the suction to release. A new mount was a much better but than a new GPS!

DO NOT BUY THIS SHIRT OR RELATED ITEMS UNTIL YOU LOOK AT THE CUSTOMER IMAGES I UPLOADED!THE IMAGES ARE NOT DOCTORED TO LOOK LIKE THEY DO.I really liked the design of the shirt, but NOT the finished product. When the shirt arrived, I was very unhappy to see that the tiger's stripes were PURPLE. I'm not talking deep, dark concord grape purple, that could be confused with black. I'm talking light, PINKISH PURPLE or FUSCHIA. It ruined the whole effect of the strong, powerful tiger depicted in the online images. When I contacted the vendor, they blamed my monitor and my eyes for not expecting that color based on the online images. They refused to refund shipping costs and would only refund the item cost if I paid to ship the shirt back. I would be out $11.40 on a $17 t-shirt, they would lose nothing and could resell it to some other poor customer. It's a WIN-WIN for the vendor!UPDATE: AMAZON A-Z got me a full refund, including shipping. The vendor sent the following email to me:Dear J S____We have no replacement Tiger t-shirt with Black or Dark-Dark Purple to offer. All of our Tiger t-shirts have the medium to light purple stripe. What you received was not a misprint. We remain at a complete loss of understanding how you think you see black stripes on the Tiger t-shirt.We have spent way too much time and energy trying to resolve this in a reasonable way.Please do not order any of our products in the future.Richard

When I received the item, all markings on the box indicated that this was for WINDOWS 98 and OFFICE 97 !!!!!Inside the box, they had apparently swapped out the driver disk, which claimed that it would be compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 and others. The device would not install with these drivers. I have yet to hear anything back from the manufacturer (A4 Tech) after I looked on their website for new drivers and sent them a message about it last week. I do like the ergonomics of the device, so I do hope their tech support will provide a solution. I will update this if they do.

As a huge fan of "American Pickers," it was great fun to try your hand at what they do every day (minus the dirt, climbing over junk, and long days on the road).Skills required:You have to balance getting your best deal with keeping your sellers happy to get access to more sites. You have to choose between quick money with an auction (auctioneer keeps 20%) or trying to set your own price (to high, slow sale, too low, fast sale - lose money). If you do not make sales, you have no money to go out and buy things.Even getting appraisals had a realistic price and consequences. An appraisal while haggling could lower. or RAISE the price the seller would go for, so that was a gamble. Also neat was that several items were "incomplete" and needed a part that was not available at the same seller. If you found the part and matched them up, your profits went way up. There were pros and cons to restoring items before selling. So many decisions were right in line with what a real "picker" would have to do to be successful.I would love to see a sequel. perhaps with more locations and some way to incorporate the travel and shipping costs (larger items) into the scenarios.

My husband is very athletic and got his fitbit first. He quickly found several "groups" on the Fitbit site that spurred his competitive nature. He began walking and running more than he had in years. I LIKE the results! He bought a second device, initially as backup in case he misplaced his or damaged it at work. He said if I would like to try it out and liked it, he would buy another one.I am a disabled veteran and have several health issues and chronic pain that make exercise of any kind challenging. At present, it is often difficult for me to walk even short distances. Nevertheless, I decided to tried it.After a week or so learning all of the little features on the Fitbit site, I found that it fit what I needed equally well as what my husband wanted from it, though my needs were quite different.Some of my favorite features:PRIVACY - You can set very specific controls about who sees what items of your information.GOAL SETTING - You can set personal goals for how many steps per day, how many floors climbed, mileage, activity level, calories burned. I tweak these up a little at a time when I can reach them regularly.ACTIVITY LOG - In addition to steps counted, you can log other activities that use energy but don't cover distance, e.g. laundry, dishes, cooking, office work, and non-walking sports. This encourages me to be a little more active in the ways that I AM able to be.FOOD LOG - Very easy to use,if you cannot find a specific item, you can enter nutrition information and save private food entries (good for favorite recipes). Database includes most restaurant chains. Most items can be recorded in grams, ounces, or by general size, e.g. medium orange. We have a digital kitchen scale that makes it easy to be accurate.NOTE: As you are more active during the day, your alloted daily calories increases!GROUPS: There are several thousand Fitbit Groups in the Fitbit Community. Most are open to the public, but you can set up private groups as well. There is something for everyone. I found one where people have similar health issues and goals, not a competitive group at all. We swap ideas and cheer each other along.I was hesitant at first, because I did not need "my husband's Fitbit." I soon learned how easily I could make it "Judy's Fitbit." So far, I have lost 13 pounds, after years of steady gain. That is the one thing I can control that will improve my overall heath. This has proved to be the best tool to make that happen.

One reviewer appears thrilled by using the "Steam" platform to run this game. My reaction is the opposite!There is NOTHING in the game description on Amazon that mentions this at all. Since PC game downloads are not returnable, this is a real "GOTCHA." Whether "steam is a safe and harmless program/firm, I deeply resent this kind of "bait and switch" tactic.They make it appear that I am dealing with Amazon (a name I had felt I could generally trust), when in fact I cannot use the game at all without providing account setup personal information to a company "Steam," I know nothing about and downloading an extra program I know nothing about. This setup has "shady" written all over it. Is that what we should expect from Amazon now?

Unlike most PC Downloads, this requires 3rd party download and account setup at Steam.com!

Don't get mad, I just mean that when shopping for ankle weights, we were quite dismayed to find so many ankle weights were clearly marketed for women, e.g. pastels, light weights, small adjustment range, etc. These are a classy black design meant for serious workouts, including women who are very serious about training.My son had wanted the weights to strengthen his legs specifically to improve his performance on a swim team. Five pounds on each leg was of no use to him. We finally found a pair with up to 10 lbs per leg, made by another company. The "weights" were small cloth tubes filled with sand, which shifted a great deal and soon began to LEAK SAND.The weights in this set are small iron bars in heavy cloth sleeves to make sliding them into or out of the velcro closed holders very easy, even while you are wearing them!The BEST feature, and such a small, but crucial detail is that the rings you pass the velcro adjustment straps through are good SOLID stainless steel and rectangular shaped to keep the straps flat and not sliding around.The manufacturer of the other pair we bought before these had "pinched pennies" and substituted plastic rings like you would find on camping gear. Needless to say, those rings failed and could not be replaced without taking the whole ankle weight set apart at the seams and then taking them to a shoe repair shop to restitch them.BOTTOM LINE:*Competitively priced when compared with much flimsier models.*Well designed to last for years of serious training.*Adjustability: wide range of "loads," 2-10 pounds per leg, so they can be used as you work up to 10 lbs per leg or used by family members at varying levels of fitness. That saves you the cost of buying an additional lighter set. *To sweeten the deal, at least one seller is offering free shipping! That brings the TOTAL COST in lower than many less well made made or 5 pound per leg models.A HOME RUN in my book!

FINALLY! "MANLY" ankle weights that do not fall apart!

Beautifully done! The details on the patch are sharp and clear and the decal was made of good sturdy material. Although I would like to have had it be a full-color decal, it shows up better in all white and will not fade in any way.You should have seen my Dad's eyes light up when he saw the window decal with the outline of this famous unit patch! As a former member of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, he knew well the tales of the dreaded run up Currahee Mountain that the first U.S paratroopers training at Camp Toccoa, GA endured. This little "fun run" was prominently featured in the mini series "Band of Brothers."As the 70th Anniversary of D-Day draws near, in June of 2014, displaying this decal is a way to honor those brave men who served in this unit in World War II as well as those who still serve in that unit today.

I love the convenience of having a pen just acick away when I want to jot down a quick note while online. It also is the perfect length to use with my Nexus 7. I no longer block half the screen trying to use a stubbly little stylus. Accuracy of stylus is great, too.

As a history buff, I got a real pleasure of reading this book. I agree with the author of the annotation, - what a "breathtaking gallop of events" indeed!"Usually, for some unknown to me reason, it is assumed that fast paced plot and read, belongs to anything, but the "real" literature. It's nonsense, of course! The "real literature" is anything, but boring. And, what's more, it should affect the thought process of the reader. "Fort Ross " is one of those novels.The action takes place in two or even three "dimensions", but you didn't realize it right away, so fascinatingly constructed the plot. Frankly, it's hard to find a genre for comparison, which would unconditionally own this novel. Historical novel? Of course. Science fiction? Sure. Nobody is traveling through time with the iPhone, yet. (As far, as I know). The reality with the reflection of the "sinful " aspects of our existence? Well, even that, too.Perhaps, Umberto Eco primarily comes to mind with his "Foucault's Pendulum," which I think had some influence on the author of the "Fort Ross," with the depth of rethinking and unexpected reversal of the historical process demonstrated by the author. It truly opens a whole new perspective on the history of Colonial America, Russian involvement in it and on the Decembrist's revolutionary movement in the imperial Russia.I don't want to specify in details the "key aspects" of the plot. After all this novel is written with the elements of the detective story (yes, that too). Nor do I want to reveal what surprised me personally. It's irrelevant. Instead, I just recommend you to read this novel. Believe me, you will not regret it even for a second.

This book is NOT for children 4-8 unless they have never attended school. The writing is infantile and without meaningful content. The topic of Peace deserves a deeper and more mature treatment if children are to learn that peace is more than empty, warm-fuzzy words.The eight year old children in my class asked 'why didn't the book talk about peace?' Other comments of class members, based on the book's definitions of peace: , 'mom and dad hold hands but dad beats mom;' 'dad promised to take me to Sunday school but never came after me;' 'what song can we sing to bring dad home from Irag?' 'If they ring the Liberty Bell will peace stop the bad guys that killed my uncle(a police officer)?' I cannot recommend this book and feel it was very expensive for 75 words (prepositions not counted).

This blender wouldn't fit on my counter due to its height and the cover did not fit on the jar. Both the jar and cover are made of very thin plastic. The plastic insert in cover center is very long and too cumbersome to remove and replace. It also did not lock into place. I have had an Oster blender for 15 years that is sleek, good quality and looks nice on the counter. This item was returned and I purchased another brand that is superior to this blender in quality and design.

This book held my attention from the moment I started reading it. I became part of this story because the "meeting tree" reminded me of my parent's storytelling at the Friday night fish fry. It encompassed all the the laughter, sadness, and involvement of the community raising or lack of raising a child. Godyva Chocolate Book Club, Riverdale, GA.

As a Marine Carrier trained Corsair pilot I was led to believe that we were the best a pilot could be. Captain Omatheny's book has changed that. It is one great, easy to read, exciting story. I believe it is his first book, I'm anxious to read his next one as he is a fine author as well as one fabulous pilot.

I've tried to hang on through the second book and was barely able to make it through this one. It seems the more Ms. Hamilton writes about the character and her environment, the less she really has to say. The majority of the book can be reduced to a "his eyes were the color of ____ ...the outer layer was this color, the inner layer was this color, AND then some magic happens. And now his eyes are the color of _____ ... the outer layer was this color, the inner layer was this color, AND then some magic happens and so on". By taking out the extensive descriptions of the people, their hair, their skin, the tri-colored eyes, the way they move, their power, the rules she has to follow in order to "survive", endless references to what had happened to someone in the past, behavioral characteristics that really don't matter (pouting for example)...you end up with a book that has less than 2 to three pages of good stuff. Truly, I don't care about the sex. If I needed that, I could always go back to the earlier Anita Blake books (better written and easier to follow). But I do care about the direction that Ms. Hamilton is going. The last two Anita Blake books were ok...but the last one was unreadable. Is this a trend? Has she hit that fictional brick wall? Has the well truly run dry?

I have been a fan of Mr. Watson's for along time. I love his music and his voice is to die for. I play his music every day. I was thrilled to hear of his second CD and got it straight away. I guess there's a third one on the way too! Well done Russell. My granddaughter and I sing "Is Nothing Sacred" song all the time. It's so good to listen to Watson sing. Yes, I am a big fan of his.

These jeans fit like Carhartt but with a tapered leg. No hammer loops or thigh pockets to catch on things. No wavy stripes across the back pockets. The little leather tab on the pocket is a good idea for cell phone clips & tape measures. Well reinforced in crotch. These fit right the first time you put them on.

Originally a woodsman shirt, this is a tough shirt; almost like denim. The zipper is nylon, I think, but it stays out of your way. Easy to wear, comfortable to move in & I don't see this "pilling" like some work shirts do. I got the green striped one, I like it & my wife says it looks good. The green is subdued, not real bright avoiding the vegetable look. Expect to buy more in the future.

This is a sharp looking, reliable, quality belt. The color graduations on the side of the belt are true to life, a nice brown to dark brown. Great for dungarees & work shorts. I've had this belt about 5 months now. The leather is not separating, the holes are not stretching. Excellent choice.

These boots run wide, so make sure to order your true size. They're lined with foam. They provide little traction in wet weather. The toes get scratched easily. The soles are thin and uncomfortable to stand in for longer periods of time. They are not as rugged as they appear on screen. I wouldn't recommend them.

I live in a town of about 25k people with one station, CBS. This antenna picks up 3 perfectly and in great HD. I can get 2 more stations also, but have to work on it (5 total). I tried the more expensive $35 antenna from RCA with amp, but it didn't change the out come. Also tried the $30 white square antenna from RCA today, and still not as good as this $12 one. The only reason I don't rate it 5 stars is because i can't pick up a NBC station from about 50 miles, but of the antennas I tried have been able too either, might just be a weak signal from the stationNote: I can pick up an ABC station from Birmingham AL (120 miles away) if i put it next to window.

Been using them for 2 weeks. I use them for mixing (before I only had Ipod earbuds), and they work as expected for sixteen dollar headphones. My son loves them for watching movies on his portable dvd player.The sound quality it average, but they are good at keeping the background noise out while wear them.

....it doesn't work any better that the basic RCA 121 for $12. I tried this one out today but will be returning tomorrow. I was hoping for $20 more i would at least get something better, but working exactly the same.Amazon has a good price on this one (better than i paid in a store), so depending on your freight cost could be worth it.

I didn't have alot of expectations for a fifteen dollar pick up. But once installed, it does quite well. I would buy it again.Installation is simple, but getting your hand into the guitar to thread the end pin jack through the hole can be tricky. Once that is done, just fine the right place to stick the transducer and your set.Only down side - while playing, it will pick up any bumps to the guitar top while you're strumming. Maybe if I reposition it, this won't happen, not sure yet.

I have been using this MMM17 for about 6 weeks now. It started out ok, it's a trimmed down version of the last Sony Acid (version 6 I believe) I had on my last computer. This software was half the price so that was to be expected.Issues I've had:1. One file is completely missing, this file was a song that I had several hours in and now it's just gone. That's very frustrating. I work with computers everyday so i know where all to check to try and locate the "missing file"2. I continued using it because i don't have anything else with a midi maker right now, and now my tracks start "skipping" during play back while editing and my computer usage shoots up to 100%. This is with nothing else running, and also while the laptop is NOT connected to the internet. Also my computer exceeds all requirements list to run this software. These is no way to repair the skipping that I've found, you just have to delete the section that is skipping.....impossible to be productive this way.3. Today, it has now started skipping on my live recording infeed. As soon as I get done recording and try to play back, there are physical "chunks" of the wave pattern missing. WTF?????? My mic if fine, i tried it in Audacity (Freeware) and it records fine there.This software is more of a cheap toy than a serious music recording program.If it's true that you get what you pay for in life......this software would free.......

Very sticky - Once I put it in place and pressed down around the edges, it was secure. It's been on for 3-4 weeks and still holding strong. I did sand down my guitar first and stain it. So it was a fresh/clean surface for it to stick to.Simple Black pick guard and does it job.

The microwave developed a really annoying noise after about 2 weeks of ownership. We received it as a gift so I dont want to look ungrateful but I think people should know. Also, the emblem on the front keeps peeling off. We finally threw it out but we are still stuck with stick glue. We sprayed with alachol and then with gumremove. After all of this effort, we got the door cleaned up enough to where we had just four small sized globs of this glue and basically what was originally there. Then a friend decided to bring over a brand name product meant for cleaning glue, it crystalized the adhesive onto the door and cracked the plastic. Now we're trying to find a new door for the microwave. The parts store does not have them. So buyer beware. We thought the price for the microwave given the brand and size of it was a little high, but we wanted a small microwave that somewhat matched our kitchen appliances so we bought this. The microwave itself works fine , however the adhesive that was used on the front door is really aweful. At first we tried just rubbing it off with our fingers, then we tried a dry cloth, we tried soap and hot water, window cleaner, amonia, vinegar. Didn't work.

Nice tv for the money overall. Its light and has a sharp picture. It takes some playing around to figure out what certain buttons are for and how/when to use them. This is not a television for a large room but works great in a medium or small bedroom, etc. If you're looking for a LCD television that won't cost a bundle, this is a wise choice. I wanted a affordably priced LCD television for the bedroom to replace a bulky CRT I'd used for many years. And I found one with this Shar tv. It had better reviews than some others I'd looked at and, so far, I have to agree. The picture is very good and there's plenty of adjustments, so making changes is simple. Being hearing impaired I was surprised at how well I could hear this tv compared to my older one. Set up was simple although the product manual is not very user friendly...confusing and unclear in spots but the average person should have no problems figuring things out on their own. The remote isn't ideal but it's adequate.

I have been using this product for over a year now and have found none that can beat it. It is pure acai and is concentrated at 400% so it is like getting 5200 mg per serving (4 X 1300). It provides a nice source of energy for me and helps me lose weight when I keep my eating under control.

This is truly a wonderful collection of songs. I have troube imagining a better gift for the fams of these two tremendous talents than Live at the Troubadour. If you rate Carole King's "Tapestry" album as a must have, you will enjoy this CD/DVD combo. If you feel that same way about JT's Mud Slim Slim and the Blue Horizon, this CD/DVD will not disappoint you. Both artists have respect and admiration for one another that comes through loud and clear. The music is wonderfully presented by two classic singer/songwriters and the small but talented musicians (Leland Sklar, Russell Kunkel and Danny Kortchmar) assisting on this collaborative effort are outstanding. Add to the great music the DVD of what appears to have been a magical evening icing on the cake.

This was one of my first classical DVDs, because too few are available. - Manufacturers, wake up! - I have all of Karajan's published (and some unpublished) recordings of Beethoven's 9th. Although this is not his best effort, it still outclasses any performance or recording you would be likely to hear today: good by Karajan's standards is excellent for anyone else! And this is a good performance in excellent sound. The remix to 5.1 Dolby is fantastic and provides real depth to the famous BPO sound under Karajan. The orchestra will amaze you; their precision is literally unmatched. The chorus is also in wonderful form. For me, the biggest drawback was the singing of Franz Grundheber (bass soloist), whose voice has never really impressed me. (You can also hear him as Wozzeck in Abbado's recording for DGG.) He is imprecise and lacks projection. (Too bad that Jose van Dam was not on hand; he had sung to much better effect in this symphony in Karajan's two previous recordings.) The rest of the soloists are fine. In particular, I always enjoy Vinson Cole, a wonderful tenor from Kansas City, whom Karajan more or less discovered. Karajan's ideas about the presentation of symphonic music in video format were evolving even at the time of his death. He had come to realize that the orchestra had to be shown to some extent, but he still maintained that the focus should be on the conductor. The various instrumentalists are shown somewhat idealized, and obviously many close-ups were taken separately from the actual performance. The overall emphasis is on Karajan, not the orchestra or chorus. When you do see them, they are generally not presented as individual musicians but either as part of a section or as people holding an instrument or singing the words. Some may be bothered by this and understandably so, but there are many wonderful shots of Karajan in action. And the overall style is very tasteful and artistic once you grow accustomed to it. Make no mistakes though: This is not a concert film! It is a recording, just as most of Karajan's official releases had always been and therefore is obviously produced and the product of a studio performance (albeit in the Philharmonie). Yet what we see on this DVD is exactly what Karajan intended for us to see and hear. As he was certainly one of the greatest conductor's of all time, I feel that it is a privilege to be able to do so. What better way could there be to see and hear this performance than on DVD with its fantastic picture and sound? [In case anyone wonders: I am an avid collector of CDs and have almost everything Karajan ever recorded. I teach music history at the college level.]

This recording and the performances it captures are wonderful. Rather than comment on these aspects, I wish to address the absolutely inadequate Amazon CD-R reissue version of this recording. The disc itself is fine. However, as anyone who has followed Sequentia knows from their previous releases, an integral part of their performing and recording is their scholarship, which is fully documented and discussed in the liner notes of their recordings. Essays discuss composers, performance practice, and the musical and social milieu in which the music developed. They also include full bibliographic and discographic information, as well as translations of the sung texts. Tragically, the Amazon CD-R version includes none of this information. Indeed, there are no notes at all and only a bare list of work titles included! I would argue this issue borders on useless without the missing information. Sequentia's own web site lists the original 1997 CD booklet as 55 pages, surely the international version, but certainly more than what is present in this reissue. Caveat emptor.

Beware the Amazon CD-R version of a great recording!

This is my third Sony DVD player (all three are still in use): I got the first as a replacement CD player before DVDs really caught on. Then I wanted a changer once I got into DVDs and got a predecessor to the 655, the 600. I must say the 655 more than exceeded my expectation. This newer model clearly shows how Sony has built on their experiences with past models.For example, a great feature any family with more than one viewer will love is the memory resume function, which is automatic but it can be disabled. For 50 discs (DVDs, CDs, VCD, etc.) the player will remember where you stopped and resume there the next time you play the disc, even if you have removed and then reinserted the disc in the meantime! You can start a movie, listen to a CD a day later, watch three other movies, and then come back and finish the first one exactly where you left off weeks later! This is a great feature.Picture quality is outstanding, and there are convenient picture modes, including a user programmable one, to adjust the color, contrast, etc. to suit your viewing material and environment. Optional block noise reduction is also included. The video output easily surpasses that of my other two DVD players.A final great addition is the navigation feature. One can view thumbnails on the screen of the chapters or titles on a DVD. (It can also be used for slow motion strobe playback.) I think this will be of benefit to those of us who like to find Easter eggs on DVDs, and I have found several on discs many people have! Also, for those who can burn DVDs, navigation will allow you to search the contents of your disc easily, even if you didn't make a chapter menu when you authored the DVD.One drawback is the remote: it is not as intuitively laid out as the previous ones I have seen from Sony. Why do they keep moving buttons? Who knows, but once I learned where they were on my other remotes I find I need to relearn them for this remote. Also, this remote has a beveled back, which means if it is lying on the table and you go to push a button towards the edge, the remote will probably flip over before you can exert enough force to activate the button. Too bad Sony didn't notice this when they made this design change. I wish they would just ask people who actually use the things, because I knew this would be a problem as soon as I saw the remote!In case anyone wonders, my player is hooked up to a Sony ES receiver and JBL surround speakers. The sound is awesome, whether playing classical CDs or the latest DTS DVDs, a shade better than many players I have heard. All in all a great unit and a good value!

Anyone who is familiar with Karajan's long history with this highly approachable work by Brahms and who appreciates the lifelong study the conductor brought to this masterpiece need not hesitate in acquiring this DVD. This is perhaps not his greatest single reading of the German Requiem, but as a final statement from one facing the inevitability of death, it is a deeply moving document. And, as usual, the performers give their fullest under Karajan's masterful leadership.Van Dam brings his immaculate technique and thoughtful approach to the text, while Battle shines in her own solo. Both worked closely with Karajan on several projects, and they truly are in sync in their performances here. The orchestra adds the immediately recognizable warmth of the Vienna Philharmonic.Two complaints: Sony botched the original DVD master and forgot to include subtitles. I notified them of this, and they said it would not be fixed. So despite what the cover may still say, there are NO subtitles, greatly reducing this DVD's user friendliness. (I was tempted to say "usefulness," as an educator.)Second, the first trumpet simply was not there in the second movement immediately after the words "Aber des Herrn Wort bleibet in Ewigkeit," right before the fugue on "Die Erloeseten des Herrn werden wieder kommen ..." This error in the original sound recording (as issued on CD by DG) was not addressed in the DVD soundtrack either. It is surprising and unfortunate that no one, including Karajan, caught this mistake. As his own video company (Telemondial) made the recording and as he personally supervised the audio and video master, it was ultimately his fault that this important climax was thus undermined.Were it possible to give 4.5 stars, I would have. But with Sony's mistake and the minor gaffe in the performance, it would be unfair to suggest this production is perfect. Still, it is indeed magical.

EMI evidently provided the wrong cast list to Amazon (and other outlets); despite what it says here and what the cover image shows, Thomas Hampson does NOT appear on this DVD. The cover has been corrected. For the record, as it just arrived, I have not watched it yet (but Amazon required me to give it a star rating to submit this review!). The correct cast list according to the cover is as follows:Landgraf Hermann - Alfred MuffTannhäuser - Peter SeiffertWolfram von Eschenbach - Roman TrekelWalther von der Vogelweide - Jonas KaufmannBiterolf - Rolf HaunsteinHeinrich der Schreiber - Martin ZyssetReinmar von Zweter - Guido GötzenElisabeth - Solveig KringelbornVenus - Isabelle KabatuOpernhaus ZürichFranz Welser-Möst, conductor

This shower head provides a blast of aerated water. This is not pleasurable to me, and it has not appealed to most of the members of my family. It is a little like being sandblasted clean! There is no way I would rinse my face or other sensitive areas with the direct stream from this shower head; it is just too harsh.Another issue is the vast amounts of air flow this thing causes. Be prepared to increase the temperature of the water you use to shower, because the drafts and aeration cause you to feel quite chilly in the shower! The water cools quickly as it comes out of the shower head too (due to the air delivered with the water), so you may end up trying to hold the head close to your body, but that only increases the sandblasting effect mentioned above! I also had trouble keeping the shower curtain in place due to the draft created by the Oxygenics shower head. The curtain tends to flap inwards, right at you as you shower -- not much fun!Finally, if you have a child or pet you wish to use this shower head on while they are in the tub, forget about it! This thing is so darn loud, no child or sensitive animal will sit still for you. The constant whoosh the Oxygenics creates sounds as if a large steam pipe has broken in a boiler room. Add to that the issue with the spray being so harsh, and you would never want to use it on a small child anyway.This is the worst shower head I have ever encountered. But it is so unpleasant to take a shower with the Oxygenics that I did find myself and others taking very, very short showers. I recommend you totally avoid this shower head.

I got this player for Christmas, and it was malfunctioning by late May, just 5 months later! It is unable to load disks now most of the time, making it impossible to play back anything, both DVDs and CDs. The player scans each slot for a disk, before going on to the next one and eventually reporting "no disk." It does occasionally still load correctly and, once it has done so, will play disks flawlessly. Yet, I now have to spend over half the time of a typical movie trying to get it to load and begin playback, more than half an hour to recognize one disk! However, while it worked, this unit had very good video and audio quality. The 1080p upscaling looked very good to excellent on most DVDs I played. Audio was clear and impressive with the digital output connected to a surround sound system. (My digital video connection was via HDMI directly into the back of a 1080p HDTV; my digital audio connection was via a gold coaxial cable into a surround sound receiver.)The player worked well with all types of media I tried: commercial DVD and CD, CD-R and CD-RW, and DVD-R and DVD+RW. It is region locked for region 1 and NTSC format video. (It can play PAL format, as can most Sony DVD players I've owned with a patch to the software, not the player itself.) The changer function was the main reason I selected this model, and why I still have no interest in Blu-ray. I prefer being able to have several different types of programming available without having to be manually inserting/removing disks all the time. The changer mechanism seemed to be slower and a little noisier than previous Sony models I've owned, but it did work without any issues.This will probably be my last Sony disk player of any sort, based on my experience with this model. I have owned 5 Sony CD players (the first, from the 80s, still works, as do most of the others), 5 Sony DVD players (again, most still in fine working order, including the oldest one), as well as many other Sony items. But to have even a cheap DVD player die just out of warranty seems ridiculous to me. From my own experience, it is clear that the quality of this model is not up to the standards Sony set in the past.

First, here is what is good about this DVD: Temirkanov leads a very sane performance. He does not overdo any of the more turgid moments or any of the more bombastic ones either. The architecture of the long first movement is clear. The finale is very joyful. Yes, this is a student orchestra, and there are some gaffes, such as cracked notes in the horns. For the most part, this isn't an issue. Indeed, many soloists are truly excellent. Ensemble problems seem to have more to do with the large venue, Salle Medran in Verbier, and with the fact that Temirkanov does not use a baton. Some of the players in the woodwinds and brass especially would have benefitted from clearer guidance had maestro chosen to use a stick. Again, this is not a terrible shortcoming. The camerawork is fairly pedestrian, but it is better than many Verbier Festival videos that were released online only in the past couple years. The image is clear throughout and only occasionally do we really miss some of the action. There are some split screens too.The biggest problem with this DVD is the audio. I compared the available soundtracks (PCM, DD, DTS) and found all to be equally poor. The audio has been highly compressed with the dynamic range fairly well normalized so that there isn't much different between piano and forte. Of course, it does not help that Shostakovich calls for a far wider dynamic range than that, especially as it is the higher end of the range that is so compressed (fff appears many times in the score). The audio almost seems distorted. I'm not sure what the problem is: Perhaps this was a live webcast and the audio was poorly recorded or compressed at the time. At any rate, it certainly is not acceptable for a modern professional recording released commercially. (If you've heard Soviet-era recordings, this is what it brings to mind the most.)As noted before, many Verbier performances have been available for free online in the past. That is about what this one is worth for its technical shortcomings that severely hamper an otherwise decent performance. For some reason, the cover (and the Amazon listing) gives the total time as 94 minutes, extraordinarily and impossibly slow for the Shostakovich 10th. (The published score lists the duration as 50 min.) The actual time of the performance (excluding applause) is just under 55 min. (Even with the trailers on the DVD, there is nowhere near 94 min. of content.) Finally, although some might call this nitpicking, as with other titles from this publisher and its associated labels, the idea of fading in and out seems to have become a foreign concept to them; the audio and video just start suddenly at the beginning and are cut off just as abruptly at the end. How much effort does it take to fade in and out?

The Trendnet TEW-680MB has to be the most buggy device I've ever set up. I does work occasionally, but very seldom. When it worked, the connection seemed much slower than advertised. I could get good throughput via wireless N only when the media bridge was no more than a few feet away from my wireless router. The 5 GHz band never really worked for me, and this was main draw to upgrade from the TEW-687GA. I had both devices connected to various A/V equipment. Whereas the 687GA was more or less dependable, except for after power outages, the 680MB only worked sporadically and more on the less side at that!My first solution to keep it connected to the internet was not to power down the 680MB when I turned off my A/V equipment. This resolved connectivity issues for a few days, but then I got "no internet" warnings from my devices again. So I'd have to plug a laptop into the the 680MB and attempt to access it's control panel via a web browser. I say attempt, because 99% of the time it is not possible to get to the control panel, even after resetting the unit, which should theoretically wipe any IP settings it had stored. Hard reset, soft reset, nothing worked. I tried multiple laptops with different browsers. The only real solution was to unplug the Trendnet, wait a day or 2 and try again, as if this were actually an acceptable solution! (The 786GA never had this problem, but then again, I seldom had to access its CP after initial setup.)Trendnet tech support informed me I should update the the firmware on the 680MB. My unit had the same FW version as that on their site they wanted me to update to. Doubting it would make any difference in their device's performance/reliability but having nothing to lose, I did do the update successfully according to the manufacturer's instructions. It still just doesn't maintain it's connection. I've tried everything I could think of: disable wireless N, stick one 2.4 GHz channel, set a static IP address, use DNS servers, etc. This thing just does not work reliably.So I'm back to using built-in wireless functionality for the A/V equipment that does have it, meaning back to weak signals but ones that are workably stable and are not randomly dropped. This doesn't solve the problem of equipment without built-in WiFi, so I'll need to find a functional solution, definitely not another Trendnet product. I just wish I had come to this realization sooner so that I could have returned the 680MB to Amazon. Now, I'm stuck with an ugly paperweight instead.

Christopher Reeve's character shines with a quiet power that matches his own. With his passing recently,this film will no doubt hold more of a special place in the hearts of all who have been touched by Reeve as a person and an actor.Morning Glory is about redemption through love and trust; and how truth and goodness will always triumph over fear and lies.

This Targus Optical Nb Mouse functioned strangely from the beginning, purchase four weeks prior to this review. It needed to be recharged daily. The buttons are so shallow you can hit them without even trying. I would have lived with it, but today the mouse stopped functioning completely, even when plugged into the USB. I know it wasn't the batteries because the red light was still on. I would not recommend this item.

I ended up really liking this laptop easel. Experiment to find your comfortable position. It is very versatile. I use it sitting in bed, with the cushion-y side face up if my legs are stretched out; that way the edge is raised under your wrist in just the right position for support. My laptop stays upright and angled back just enough to allow airflow underneath.If I sit with my knees up I turn the easel over with the cushion-y side down, and counter-intuitively put the indented edge on the bottom. The laptop back edge can sit behind the smaller lip edge of the easel, and the bottom edge is more comfortable on the stomach area.I'm going into this much detail because at first I wasn't sure the easel would be this comfortable! Experiment and you will find a comfortable position! Promise.

Finally after trying a few different chain designs I found just the right combo of simplicity, understated sparkle, and substantial/not too substantial for those smaller-to-medium size pendants. Yay!

Infinitely witty, clear path to the heart of the ideas. The character development seemed somehow incomplete, maybe cluttered is the word; too many characters with too little time to connect their dots. The storyline seemed ill prepared for screen. But the screenplay made it well worth viewing.

Can't go too far off with Freeman the center of the show. All the characters were believable for this viewer accept Madsen, who seemed to hold back rather than fully commit to her character. Freeman is captivating as usual, and the children likewise are surprisingly believable. The story is engaging and uplifting without being too sugary. Combination screenplay and good acting, make for plenty of laugh-out-loud moments :) Highly recommend.
