Bought a 15.4" laptop (Sager) and am in the market for a backpack. Ordered one of these and indeed it looks like a very nice backpack. However, a bit more than 2.25" of the laptop sticks out of the padded pocket in this "15.4 inch" backpack. The backpack can still zip closed, barely, but with only cordura covering that much of the laptop it really isn't suitable for placing in overhead bins and such.For what it's worth, the depth of the padded pocket appears to be roughly 12". There is an elastic/velcro band to hold the laptop in the pocket.Aside from fit this backpack appears great, just like the other reviewers say. But returned mine due to the lack of 15.4" laptop protection. Now off to a bricks & mortar establishment with laptop in hand.

I own well over 600 CDs -- pretty much covering a large spectrum of music -- and disc 1 of Being There ranks easily in the top 5. I've had this album since it came out and disc 1 is so good that I've hardly listened to disc 2. If there is ever such a thing as a perpetually playing discman, I want to be buried with this album playing on an endless loop -- even if I can't take it with me, at least I can keep it close.

a couple of years ago I purchased from Amazon a Villaware 4 slice toaster. It was costly as I recall so I expected it to actually toast fast and accurately. However, when it was delivered I realized it was bigger by far than a bread machine and found to my dismay that it takes about twice as long to toast bread than the ten dollar toaster it replaced. If I had purchased it at a local store, I would definitely have returned it.

I have had this MP3 player for 1 and a half years. Battery does not hold a charge anymore. I do not use this device often either. Battery costs $100 and that does not include shipping and handling from RCA Thompson.Do not buy this device if you want to enjoy long lasting music

This single isn't quite as fun as Crying At The Discoteque or Don't You Want Me. Whereas those other singles have better beats, Sexual Guarantee is a bit slower. And there are only two tracks on the disc. But it's still well worth the purchase, because the bonus video for Crying At The Discoteque is, well, odd and fascinating. If you like Alcazar (or Army of Lovers, Vacuum, etc.) you'll appreciate its weirdness and treasure it as an addition to your QuickTime video collection.

I got these for Christmas (not from Amazon) and they broke after my second use. The folding hinges are poorly designed and crack very easily. I tried to return them to Philips but they didn't believe my problem. I strongly discourage you from buying these headphones! Anything that breaks so quickly with normal wear is not worth the money.

Easy installation, and easy to use. The procedure to change codes is simple, but requires punching in a lot of numbers and codes in a specific order -- I usually have to try several times before getting it to work.The lighted numbers are a nice touch. Metal casing inside and out makes it look nicer than other products.On one occasion, the maid service couldn't figure out how to lock the door (press enter and turn knob) -- they apparently tried until the battery was exhausted. Must have taken them hours.Overall a great product. Highly recommended.

This is one of the dumbest mountain biking books I ever read. The section on how-to-bunnyhop is hilarious. This is a skill much sought-after skill by many avid mtn cyclists, akin to learning bumps in skiing and what does this book offer? Absolutely nothing. There is a picture of a guy bunnyhopping and the author just goes on to say that clipless pedals help, but does not explain how some bmx-ers and flat pedal users can jump as high as 4 feet. Huh? Did I missed something? Retarded book. Skip!

This excellent story is both well-crafted and sweetly flawed, just like the central character. Bad Blake is somewhat of a dinosaur of his time: old-school professionalism tempered by the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of egotism and temptation. Cobb has a clear love both for his characters and the generic struggles of musicians in their blacker moments.Bad is fascinating reading. He's intensely aware of his place in the world, and how it has slipped since his heyday. But with his advancing age and declining health, the desire to be understood (if not redeemed) becomes a driving force. Publicly arrogant and privately self-deprecating, Bad Blake is a powerful distillation of both the mystique and the reality of the life of a touring musician.

There is something compelling about this album. It's not the 'Voices' or 'Echoes' or even the captivating vocals on 'Come to me' and 'Ask the Mountain', it's what lies beneath. Vangelis is a musical magician and he draws us in with the clever vocal orchestration and arrangements on these tracks, but we are propelled along by something else. It's the beat. Listen to it, it's also your heartbeat. Like a march, it's rapid, strong and pumping at first in 'Voices', slowing to a walk in 'Echoes' and then you are barely aware of it by the time you reach the the appropriately titled 'Losing sleep (Still. My heart)'. The remaining tracks gently take us out of our reverie.

Having read Presumption (another sequel to Pride and Prejudice), by Julia Barret, I started this book with high hopes. I was sorely disappointed. This book is a poor imitation of Presumption with some of the same story ideas (the relationship between Darcy and Elizabetand its effect on Georgianna, the close proximity of Mrs. Bingley, the daunting first party to be held at Pemberley, and Darcy's fond regard for the Gardiners, for example.) It takes off in wild directions however, when it allows Jane Austin's well-crafted characters to act in decidedly anti-Austin ways. This book puts Elizabeth, in particular, in situtions with which Austin would hardly be happy. (See page 79 and the gypsy caravan for the most exasperating example.) The ending is decidedly awkward considering the timeframe of the story. All in all, I do not recommend this book. If you MUST HAVE another Jane Austin and/or find out what happened after the wedding, read Presumption. It is 100 times better.

I did the research thru word of mouth and Consumer Reports, I must admit I did fall for the negative review from Consumers and purchased another car seat. I purchased the Cosco Alpha Omega convertible. Let me tell you after three hours of trying to install it into my SUV, I gave up and returned it. The seat would slide from side and side after it was properly installed. I purchased the Marathon and after three minutes the car seat was installed. The seat would not budge. The LATCH system is easy to us and since it has individual tension releases on each side it makes it very easy to operate. The car seat is costly but its worth it from an installation and safety perspective. There are web sites that offer the marathon at a discounted rate www.travelingtikes.com. Also in NJ buy buy baby is offering 10% coupons. Buy this and you will not be disappointed.

It took me a good 2-3 times listening through this CD before I really got accustomed to their sound and enjoy what this band has to offer. The lead singer can scream and hold a pitch, and often alternates within the songs.A chorus can be sung with good pitch one time around, and be screamed into your face in another.The guitarist is spot on; alot of times he matches the singer in pitch and intonation so it sounds like the lead singer has another singer backing him.A few of my favorites include Rabies, Flatline, Scars, and Dummy block. Dummy block is the kind of song that is simpler then the rest of the album, but makes you want to jump with the song because the band's groove is spot on.If you are not 100% into hard rock bands, this band is a little bit of a aquired taste. But it is well worth it as this band has alot to offer.

Purchased at our local bulk store. Took it home and installed correctly. Kinda heavy so it pulled on the faucet some which concerned me about messing with the plumbing in the long run. However, after one day it kept popping off the faucet when turned on. Water sprayed everywhere and made a huge mess. Poor quality. I returned right away and plan to spend more money on a nicer filter.

Author covers a lot of ground in a very entertaining style. Not a lot of depth in any one area, but this could be expected from such an overview.On the down side: Pictures and maps were just about useless. Questionable organization - constant references between chapters was distracting and annoying. Attempts to be too "politically correct" - constant apologetic comments come off as patronizing - most people are smart enough to read between the lines.

I thought it was better than The Chamber of Secrets and The Goblet of Fire, but not as good as The Sorcerer's Stone or The Prisoner of Azkaban. I didn't like how a lot of the characters were given nothing to do this time around. Even Ron and Hermoine didn't have as much dialogue. With each film throwing in new characters and the old ones staying around, these movies are getting quite congested. For the first time, the story itself seemed to be just a set up for the last two movies, with no clear resolution.This film is the darkest one yet in the series and they really cut down on the humorous scenes. I did like most of the acting, as well as, the SFX.Not the best in the series by far, but worthy of the Harry Potter name.

Have you ever read a book that you loved reading so much you could not stand to finish? Another Country was such a book for me. I have felt so alone for so long as I have both loved my time in the outdoors and equally mourned the loss of it. Every time I pass a mountain and see the red-dirt scar of a new home perched atop it, every time I see a wooded lot scalped completely clean of all life for a new development, I mourn. Christopher Camuto has helped me feel less alone and helped me more completely appreciate the oft-ignored gift of beauty, variety, and history that the land, the Cherokee, and the wolf give us.

I loved this book. I ordered it for an informational book evaluation I was writing for my Youth Literature class, and I read it in, like, two days. It's easy to understand, thought provoking, and of course, just the right amount of creepy to be entertaining as well as informative.

Ordered these items for trick or treat, which is tomorrow. The package arrived quickly so it has been resting on my dining room table for a week or so, but in opening the package just now, several of the chocolate bars seemed misshaped. Upon opening one, it is obvious these bars were heated up and melted. Not even sure if I can hand them out. What a disappointment.

The first Little Havana hygrometer I received had a defective visual display and was inoperable. However, with one phone call, the supplier replaced it and provided a postage paid shipper to return the defective unit. The replacement functions as advertised tho' it tests approximately 2% high against the Boveda calibration system. Also, it has no adjustable calibration feature so you have to make the mental calculation or write the correction factor on the unit.The size, shape and readibility are all perfect for small to midsize humidors.

This was my first time reading a book written by Shreve and if the rest of her books are like this I don't think I will be too interested in reading more. It did not leave much to the imagination. I agree with another reader--overly descriptive. Too early into the book, we all knew that there was someone else. The ending did not leave me wanting more, instead I felt relieved to be finished.

I was unimpressed with this book. It started off enthralling with her gripping description of the rape. However, after that, the book kind of went downhill. It's just a very drawn out story of how she dealt with her rape, which really it seems, she never did. It was rather boring.

I bought this dvd for my wife because she wanted a short, effective workout. Right at the bat, Jillian set the bar high at level 1. It's a continuous cardio, strengthen and abs workout for 20 minutes with 5 minutes of warmup and cool down. My wife saw results within a week. She gave the dvd to her mother so now she's workout on Amazon instant video that came with the dvd purchase. I know this workout works because my sister-in-law shed 10 pounds within 1.5 month and she looks great! Good luck on your workout!

This is an extremely cute item. The flowers are 3-D on the watch band which adds to the appeal of the watch, not to mention that Pooh is always a childhood favorite character. I would have given the item 5 stars but I don't especially care for the buckle closure on the strap. It is probably ok for older children but I bought the item for two younger kids (under 5) and they are not able to put the watch on or take it off themselves. I suppose that keeps them from losing the watch but I don't like it. Wrap around velcro would have been better. Still an overall great item.

Worst seller I have ever dealt with in 5 years of buying things online. I asked to return a product that was not the same size as advertised and the seller started sending me very rude and sarcastic emails. Now the seller is trying to bribe me to remove my previous comment and is sending threatening emails and listing names of my family members. Stay away from anything SMART-GOODS sells.

The first time I heard this selection, was 5:30 a.m. on The Oasis 107.5 Smooth Jazz Radio. I was on my way to work which is 70 plus miles from where I live. It was so smooth I woke right up and ask myself "self, who is that by!!!?". It's so smooth I can drive all day and not even get tired. The CD is about worn out because it is my favorite. I suggest that this be a #1 hit everywhere. Thanks "MR. K" for your inspiration.

The relationship between Brian and Caroline is incredible from the beginning to the end. It's literally love at first sight for the both of them, although Caroline is incredibly apprehensive because of Brian's skin color.I love the fact that Brian loves Caroline so much and he's so persistent in persuing her despite her reservations of them being together. He willing defends his love for Caroline and won't let anyone get in the way of the woman he truly loves.I thought both characters were well developed and the book in general was incredible. I loved the added suspense of Ida, Pete, and Alex Brickman, although I do wish it would've been extended a little more. All in all, it's a wonderful book filled with sweet,touching moments, humor, and hot [scenes]. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's a lover of interracial romance or romance in general.

This book tries to jugle too many themes at once and ends up exploring none of them sufficiently. Your attention is jerked between the narrator's grandmother as a girl, the narrator as a girl, and the narrator as an adult. The book stretches too far to explore the experiences of each character, but never really gives a full picture of any of them. And the issues that the narrator *struggles* over are exagerated to the point of silliness: she's broken up with her husband (several years ago), her husband's new life, her daughter is having a baby, she is thinking of having an affair with an older man, her grandmother as a girl dealing with her mother's death, the grandmother's stay in a sanitorium, et cetera, et cetera... The book never settles long enough for one to enjoy it.

This was one of the best Deathlands books to come out for awhile. Finally the characters are in character and the action was tightly written. When you find out what the RAT KING is - it is nothing like what you would expect. Superb writing like this is what makes this series a classic hit! Keep up the good work.

I watched the movie Origins-Spirit of the Past and I love these songs! It look a while to get to my house, but that's probably because it's imported. So if you have patience and want these songs than buy it! It's a good price from other sites where they sell it for around $50.

George Box and Norman Draper have written an outstanding text on model building and response surface methods. This is an excellent companion to Box's text with Stu Hunter and William Hunter on experimental designs "Statistics for Experimenters". Another excellent, more recent and detailed account of response surface methods can be found in the book by Montgomery and Myers.

As so many others who have read these books I too find myself locked away in the linen closet till the book is done. Wow what a great way to compose a story from three supporting characters of past novels! However I must admitt that I am stuck on Jason and his epic tale to come. This one was a good buffer to wet our taste buds but I was a little dissapointed to find out that this was not the Jason story! Oh well, I still really enjoyed this book and Rosenberg is now the only fantasy author that I will read! Just because his stuff is: THAT GOOD! So do yourself a favor and pick this up or you will miss out on an inportant part of the GUARDIANS saga.

The product worked well. The suction was powerful. The problem came when emptying dirt and cleaning the filter. My dog sheds, I would have to clean out this machine 3 times before finishing. To clean the machine you must pull the hair out by hand and then use a toothbrush on the filter bag. After that you may rinse the bag and replace when dry.It would have been perfect with removable bag.

The Darkest Dawn is an excellent read. Typical of Tom Goodrich's style, the book puts you "in the moment" with the characters and the characters truly come to life. I just finished reading Team of Rivals by Doris Goodwin, Manhunt by James Swanson and Darkest Dawn by Goodrich. They are all unique and excellent contributions to Lincoln scholarship. Darkest Dawn captures the response to Lincoln's death like no other work I've read. You see how incredibly polarizing the event was and how its timing contributed to incredible anger, anxiety and outrage by both north and south. Top Notch!

Whether you're a liberal or a conservative (or anywhere else on the political spectrum), this documentary is a must-see. I took a conservative friend of mine to see this film in theaters over the summer. Like so many others, he was an avid supporter of Bush because he had never been told why he shouldn't be. I asked him on the way into the theater who he was going to vote for. He replied "Bush, of course!" Knowing that we were walking into a movie which was sure to introduce many new issues to him, I said nothing. When it was over, as we were walking out, I asked him the same question once again. He replied, "Definitely not that *ss-hole!" Not knowing it was going to have such an impact on him, I said, "Who do you mean?" "George Bush," he said, "I am absolutely not going to vote for George Bush." This film had a wonderful impact on my friend and I am certain that it will on just about anyone else who watches it. I give this documentary five stars and a big smile!

Unfortunately, like so many other reviewers, I am turned off and very disappointed that Capresso hasn't resolved the problem of the chemical, plastic, whatever is causing the ill-taste of the water after boiling. We don't know if there is any health danger as a result of whatever is causing the ill-taste. The pot is attractive and heats quickly which are great selling features, but the taste doesn't let up after over a year of use. Had considered getting a new one after putting a ding in the glass but have decided against it. I'm done with this product. If the problem gets resolved, I'd purchase it again in a heartbeat!

I am a Japanese university student,and I watched the prison episode of "30 Days" in my English class.This episode shows Morgan Spurlock inside of an American prison for 30 days,and he lives just like all the other prisoners.Most of the prisoners at this prison were DRUG addicts. 16% of the prisoners had mental illness and they take medicines, but some people trade their medicine for some food.Morgan experienced a stay in a room alone for 72 hours.I thought the show was interesting because I could see inside a real prison.I would recomend this show becouse we could know what the people do in the prison and fear of drugs.And we could find the prisoner's pain.

This is absolutely the BEST racing game I have ever played in my life! There are virtualy no flaws. I was hesitant to buy it because the graphics look bad on the box. Not true! The graphics rock. Though I prefer play control over graphics any day.The play control is so much like driving a real car . Race to the finish, or destroy the other cars, or destroy pedestrians or all of the above. go everywhere you want, whenever you want. Power ups are unlimited. I've owned this game for a year now and still haven't seen all of it. I will sell my soul for part three when I see it for the MAC. An absolute must have for anyone who likes car simulators. -----WARNING----- this game will ruin every other car game for you.

I bought these ear phones for working out for two simple reasons: They are cheap. They have the rubber, sound-isolation tips. While the sound quality of these ear phones is not as good as JBuds (I own the J2's), they are still much better than the standard ipod earbuds. They are also quite comfortable, and fit in my ears perfectly. For the price you really cannot go wrong. If you are not looking for exceptional quality (which I assume is true if you are considering $5 headphones), and you just want cheap, reliable, comfortable earphones that effectively muffle outside noise, these are for you.

2 1/2Although average, it is a consistent, high-brow mediocrity. The group continues to focus on production technique at the expense of creating memorable tunes, which initially brought them into the spotlight on their debut. Here, although consistently "pleasant enough" to suffice as background coffee shop fodder, barely anything sticks to memory and what does still comes up emotionally superficial.

We've bought several of these Lentek 6-day pet dishes in quick succession and keep facing motor malfunction -- the motor would fail to work at all; or it would move verrrry slowly and stop before hitting the target area; or it would advance two slots rather than one; or it would advance in the opposite direction from how it's supposed to turn; etc.) There also is no way to purchase just a replacement motor; you have to replace the whole dish/motor contraption.The concept of this pet dish is great, but after dealing with multiple machines' motor malfunction within a span of a couple months total, we're giving up on this dish and purchasing a different, 5-day pet feeder from Amazon instead.

I have a B.S. in marine science, and I decided I wanted to bring my work home with me. Someone bought me this book and I read through most of the sections. I was very disappointed. The author doesn't discuss cleaning of the tank in any detail, such as how often you need to clean the gravel, plants and other decorations; they also missed out on describing common problems such as bacterial or algal blooms and what to do. I found some of the information very helpful, but overall, this is far from a complete reference book for the beginner aquarist.

A retelling of many of the biggest heists in the art world and particularly one collection that is hit several times.

The three best songs on the CD are the dance/pop songs "Carry On" and the two remixes of "Until We Meet Again" (especially the hidden one at the end of the CD). They did really well on the dance charts- I don't understand why Diana doesn't take advantage of that. The rest of the album is ok, but it kind of puts you to sleep after awhile with the exception of "Sugarfree" and "Hope Is An Open Window." Also, they didn't include the dance version of "Not Over You Yet" that she performed on BET- which is FAR BETTER than the slow version they put on. Hummmmm- puzzling. But it's a decent CD.

I was bored with this book. The end was terrible, and the relationships never really evolved. The plot took place to late in the book, with nothing happening in the end. I don't recommend this book. If I would have paid more than $6.99 for this, I would have been mad.

I guess it's been a while since I listened to this record, but I am still blown away at the energy and power that Throwdown brought on this album. The whole album is so hardcore and there is not one time on the cd that they guys let up.

For some reason, this film really clicked with me. I'm prone to liking period pieces but done wrong, they can fall flat on their face as did, for example, "The Duchess", with me. Depardieu's performance is nuanced and right on the money; it's like he really understood how to handle this part. There are many standout performances and the script, cinematography, casting, wonderful musical score all complimented one the other. I've seen it many times now and it's wistful cynicism is a top notch depiction of a bygone era. Uma Thurman is very good as is Tim Burton. This is one of those film's that I wish was 5 hours long.

I'll simply say, skip it. This movie had great potential. I thought this was going to be a fun cop buddy picture. Between the convuluted story to the truly appalling dialogue and right on to the dreadful editing, I cannot find anything good to say about it. I spent much of the movie trying to figure out what was going on, Gavilan (Ford) has two jobs, Calden (Hartnett) has two jobs and a dream to be an actor, and on the side they are LAPD Homicide detectives trying to solve the murders of an up and coming rap group. It should have been a drama or a comedy, not tried to be both. I have great respect for Harrison Ford. All I can think of is that he needed some money to pay for something or there is no good reason he would have chosen this project. Skip this one and get one of Harrison's good movies. Your time will be much better spent watching Frantic, any Indiana Jones movie, or Patriot Games.

This book was a huge dissapointment because it is so outdated! I did not pay attention to when it was published or I never would have bought it. My 2 favorite teams The Cleveland Browns and The Columbus Blue Jackets do not even show up in this book.What a huge waste of money!

I was hoping to like season 2 `Noah's Arc' a little more than the first. Sadly, I have to report that this show only works on one level and that is on how hot most of the cast is. Once you get past the attractive looking cast there is very little to recommend this show. The acting and writing lurch all over the place, at times it resembles a poorly written episode of `Saved by the Bell'. Wilson Cruz does his best with this material and actually manages some genuine emotion. He is poorly under used by the show and Hollywood.It's worth buying as African Americans are starved of this type of material, but don't be fooled, we deserve better than this...Don't we?

The old, easily discredited "law of attraction" gussied up agian like a pig in lipstick for resale. In the author's world the poor, the sick, the injured all cause there own misfortunes through their "negative" thoughts! The baby who is dies in a war zone is responsible for it's own death?? It thought the wrong, clearly negative little baby thoughts and thus "manifested" the war that killed him? Save your money and let this pig kiss some other sucker.

Dr. Stanley has written an excellent title encouraging readers to pursue and realize the deep peace that comes only from God.The book is about 135 pages long and contains 31 devotions centering on some aspect on God's peace. Each chapter contains a relevant prayer at the end encouraging the reader to reflect more on what has been read.Read and enjoy. Highly recommended!

As I follow this, the five star poster has been asked repeatedly over the last couple of months to provide a single fact to back up his claims. Specifically, to provide the exact date, source, and quote where John Kerry said there would be a draft in January 2005, and the exact poll date and source showing Shrub would still beat Kerry by 75% to 25% or some equally ridiculous number.Instead of providing any of that information, Five Stars simply repeats the lie (although even he seems to have given up the ludicrous poll claim). I agree with Vietnam Vet, that makes him a typical John O'Neill shill.I see he responded right away with another nonanswer after being asked to provide facts.So, total nonanswers to date:44(I also agree with Vietnam Vet that this guy should be busted by Amazon for violating their policy against multiple posts by the same reviewer... AND against posting urls. Where are you Amazon?)

Fairly decent. Produces pictures with optical blur on the edges if you use zoom. Leaves black semicircle on pictures taken with a flash about 1/5 the way up from the bottom on the picture because the flash isn't tall enough to miss the wide lens. Other than that.. it does capture a few more degrees. If you are going to pick this or the telephoto attachment, get this.

Got this to send 5.1 Surround Sound from my iMac to my home receiver. Works perfect. Not much else to say. Plug it into the headphone jack in the iMac and the other end goes into the receiver. Works like a charm.

Forget the show's creator and any baggage that goes along with that, this is an entertaining show that was taking the viewer down a direction that contained more than a bit of what we humans would do with any potentially dangerous technology and how we - as a society - would face that challenge. The story line was developing nicely during the second season before the show was obviously canned, and then they had to wrap up potentially two or three seasons of plot lines rather quickly - which only leaves this reviewer a little disappointed in missing out on what was going to be more quality viewing. What has been created stands out quite well in all areas, get both seasons and make up your own mind.

I purchased this book for my wife so she could use the clip art for 5 pictures she was designing. The selection was great and the color was very vivid. The framed pictures turned out beautiful

Great soothing CD for Christmas, especially as background music at a party during the season. I have no complaints. Good CD.

Be prepared to watch this without distractions. Great movie but you need to dedicate the time to enjoy it because it could get confusing.

The song "45 Years" is worth the price of the cd alone. As far as ballads go, I don't think it can get much better. What a great song. I agree with the previous reviews already posted. This is worth while having in your collection.

I gave this to my boyfriend, who loved it. As a contractor, he thought it was the best invention ever.

Not a good bridge program at all. You can't see the graphics and the partner has no clue how to play bridge. Too bad

If you hear this CD you will likely fall in love with this band and their sound. Their original songs (which I personally favor as their best) are nostalgic and touching... their covers are powerfull and energizing. You would have to be deaf to not enjoy this CD (which apparently some people are... and thats OKAY). Not only do I recommend this album but check out their website and take a good look at the rest of their music. If you can- see them live- they are always a fabulous show! I have never been let down by this charming and poetic Irish band. Each album is full of heart, life, and passion.

I have found that this coffee maker will make an average cup of coffee but not a great one. I have found a problem with asidity and strength of the coffee even after trying high quality gourmet coffees. I have not had a problem cleaning the decanter or the basket but I have had trouble putting them back together. When cleaning above the basket I have had trouble removing the residual coffee that has splashed up from the basket. Over all it just has a cheep feel to it.

What can I really say about the movie Trios? It is one of my favorite movies of the summer. I thought at first the movie was gone be ok but once I really sat down and watched the movie, I was like this movie is STR8 as hell. I don't even remember if they had this movie out at the theaters. After that I seen the movie in the store and had to buy it right away. If u like movies that take twists and turns then you would like this movie. If I could I would give this movie a 10. Have to go and see it if u haven't.

The product has plenty to offer, TV/AM/FM tuner, weather stations, plenty of presets, etc. I was turned off by the product a few weeks after purchasing it. The volume control is by far the biggest dissapointment. If it is clipped to your belt, bending over or any such movements will cause the belt to turn the volume knob accidentally as the knob is horribly placed on the inner part of the radio, closest to the body. There is an audible hiss even at it's lowest setting. Fine adjustment of the volume to your exact liking is a lesson in frustration most times. At a low setting which I usually like, the sound only comes out of the right earpiece. Unfortunately, I never got around to returning the product and I suffer with it on a daily basis waiting for it to break so I can get a better one. Avoid this product like the plague!!

Purchased this as one of my granddaughters gifts for her first birthday. She was just starting to walk. She can really move with this little car! I put it together the night before-just a little tricky getting the lock nut on the front but I did it! Kind of plain Jane but several of the kids were all trying to get on or push it at the party, it was a big hit. My daughter says she loves pushing it and chansing her Lab around with it. Love that there are no batteries and it makes no noise except the laughs from the kids!
