Pc Game

I have owned and played each game before on different platforms and have since sold them or they wore out. I was pleased to find this set of two of PC's best games IMO. I currently own a Desktop with Windows Vista 64 home installed. I had trouble installing Deus Ex and wondered if it was a bad copy. I found help while searching the web. My PC was getting stuck on the Video Zip file, the Audio zip file, and the Maps zip file. I forget the proper names for them but you can get passed this by starting up the Windows Task manager, look at the processes and stop each process as they have trouble. I'm thinking it is the Video.exe zip, Audio.exe zip and the Maps.exe zip. After that, the game will finish installing and you should have no more trouble. I'm enjoying playing these titles all over again. I gave the product 5 stars due to the fact that I've played it before and know what to expect. If you're new you'll more than likely be disappointed by the graphics and audio. I would recommend this title to anyone who has played it before. When this came out this was considered top notch graphics and the in depth role playing and character development was unsurpassed! Deus Ex Complete

Deus Ex: Invisible War loads and plays fine in Win 7. But original Deus Ex (the game I bought this disk for) loads fine into Win 7, but looks for the DVD when launching, and doesn't find it. I've moved the DVD to various external drives as well as the internal DVD drive in my laptop...the game doesn't find it when launching. It's probably something that can be overcome by a tweak somewhere, but darned if I know what needs to be tweaked. So good luck to you if you choose to risk purchasing this for original Deus Ex. Doesn't work for me.

I've had both of these games for a while now. Of all the games I've played, these are two of my favorites. In both of them, you can take a head on shooting gallery approach, or you can take a stelthy approach, or a mixture of both. Personally, I take a steathy approach, it conseves resorces. A mixture would be a little more exciting, but the head on approach is more likely to get you killed than not. The options in these games are vast and each has multiple endings with quite different results.

Most of the fans of these games actually prefer the origional game because it requires a lot more envolvement in finding clues, access codes, etc... The first game does sort of lock you into a particular path about mid-way through, but it's got a great story-line to get you through it. There are some points in the game where stealth is the ONLY option until you get rearmed. There are some side missions that aren't exactly required, but they fill in some details for the story-line that clearify what's happening.

In the second game "Invisable War" It's like 50 years or so after the origional game. It is based on a particular outcome from the first game, but has a lot more choices as you progress through the game. I tend to play my way through as nutral as I can until the final sequence. Then I pick the faction I wish to back and eliminate the rest. The end results are all facinating and vastly different.

I highly recomend these games! And if you like these you'll defenatly want the third installment coming out soon. Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The third installment actually takes place before the origional game, but I understand it's going to be a great deal more extensive with a more dynamic story-line based directly on your actions, and choices in confersations. You can pre-order through Amazon.com or some other sites depending on the pre-order options you want. Check out Deus Ex: Human Revolution Also check out their site at [....]/

If you like these, you'll probably like the Thief series, also by Eidos. THIEF Collection (The Dark Project, The Metal Age II, and Deadly Shadows III)'

Lawn Equipment - dewalt, eye protection

Visit Store Now !!

I purchased the Dewalt DPG55-11C Clear Anti-Fog Protective Safety Glasses with Dual-Injected Rubber Frame and Temples for eye protection in the OR. I am a 4th year medical student and was constantly struggling to find a pair of protective eyewear that would prevent anything from splashing into my eyes, not fog up, and be comfortable to wear for the 10-12 hour surgeries I was scrubbing in on. These glasses provided all that and stayed put without sliding down my nose. I wish I had found these glasses sooner. Dewalt DPG55-11C Clear Anti-Fog Protective Safety Glasses with Dual-Injected Rubber Frame and Temples

The lenses are optically clear and the frame very stout. The temples adjust well for larger heads and the nose rest has a natural feeling. The glasses rest comfortbly on your head like a quality pair of Oakley sunglasses..

I have been using these glasses when using my trimmer, and they are very comfortable. All the adjustments allow for a great fit and the soft material that rests on the nose and touches the brow provides comfortable support without slipping. In Hawaii it can get a bit humid which gave me a chance to test the anti-fog feature, which has passed with flying colors. I would only recommend that one clean them with soap and water and then let them dry, and not use a cloth or paper of any kind to rub the lenses. Then you will end up with a scratch free surface that should last a long time.

I purchased these glasses because I currently have a similar pair made by 3M that I was having a severe problem with them fogging up especially when using any kind of a respirator. Tried these out on some auto body work during the sanding process and I am greatly satisfied to say that with these glasses I no longer had any fogging issues. The other pair was bad enough that I would even wear any eye protection which is a mistake so I got these to replace them. Very lightweight and comfortable, the nose set is adjustable so you can adjust the way they fit for comfort. My only complaint is as with any of this style of glasses that the protection is moderate at best. There is a considerable gap underneath the lenses that will allow small debris to enter in. If safety is your number one priority get the goggle type glasses, personally, I find those uncomfortable and quite dorky looking to say the least but hey to each his own. Would highly recommend this pair!

This is the best protective goggle I have had. I use it at work (as an EMT). They fit perfectly and are not ugly lab types but at the same time professional. what I like the most is the many adjustments you can make to make the glasses sit exactly where you want on your face. definitely a must have! - Eye Saftey - Eye Protection - Dewalt - Anti-fog'

Why spend a bunch of money for a charging dock when with this inexpensive device you can also charge your spare battery as well as your phone at the same time. Works for both standard and extended batteries. Highly recommended. HTC My Touch 4G Thunderbolt Wall Travel External Dock Battery Charger

This product works great it is charges both my extended battery and regular battery.... Only downfall is when I use the usb port to charge the phone using the Oem cable it flips my phone out but that's not what I bought it for so it's no big deal to me.

I am so glad that I bought this charger. Actually, I bought more than in the event i need need both batteries charged at the same time. I own an HTC Thunderbolt and these battery chargers have come to the rescue on more than one occasion. A must buy for the price.

With the short battery time on the Thunderbolt, having a second battery is necessary. So far, this charger is working well (charging my back-up battery) and at a very low price compared to options I looked at.

i was a little wary when i saw that it was a generic charger and not an official HTC one, but it works fine, and i love the fact that i can charge my phone while charging my spare battery at the same time. - Htc Droid Incredible - Htc - Evo 4g - Seidio'

Blackberry Screen Protector - screen protectors, blackberry screen protector

Visit Store Now !!

These are great screen protectors. They are inexpensive too. I bought them and am still on my first because they are very durable and hardly noticeable. No bubbles whatsoever. I may pick up another pack just to make sure I'll never need another screen protector again. 3 Pack of Premium Crystal Clear Anti-Glare Screen Protectors for Blackberry Bold 9700

I'm really satisfied. It's really cheap compared to the ones I've seen at stores. It came with a cloth, which is nice. I wasted one when I got it first because I did it wrong and got dust underneath it, but it's been smooth so far. I suggest it for anyone who wants to buy a screen protector.

It's funny that every one comments how great the screen protectors are. That's is all fine and dandy but i fail to realize why nobody comments about the product title. ANTI-GLARE!!!!! These are definitely not anti-glare screen protectors. Good screen protectors, yes, BUT NOT ANTI-GLARE. Am i the only one that sees this as false advertisement?

These are the first screen protectors that really fit well and when properly applied,

they are "invisible". Make sure to use the microfiber cloth to wipe off screen otherwise anything on the screen will create little bubbles under the protector and are there to stay.

Great product.

Jim

This screen protector is much nicer than I expected. It's nearly invisible, and the display looks just as nice as it did before. Even the few small scratches I had before putting this on are now invisible. However, it's a bit tricky to apply. Here are my hints -- hopefully this will be helpful. 1) Clean the screen very carefully and completely before applying the protector. 2) Make sure there's no dust remaining on the screen. 3) Carefully remove the first tab from the screen protector, and get ready to position it over the screen. 4) Align it along only one edge of the screen at first. 5) Carefully smooth out the screen protector, starting from the edge and continuing over the entire screen. The idea is to avoid trapping bubbles under the screen protector, this is easier if the screen protector goes on from one edge first. 6) Peel off the top protective layer from the screen protector. It took me a few false starts before I worked out this approach; the result works very well for me.

This item was AWFUL. it advertises as specailly for 9700 but instead its a generic item and it was too small and all the dust kept creeping in !!

this product was ridiculous and it was sent from CHINA and i wish someone returned my money .

DONT BUY..DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...DONT BUY...

This item worked as promised. Only one problem. BIG PROBLEM! The sticker lables that are afixed to pull the item apart WILL NOT COME OFF! I've tried everything. Now I have a patch of glue/paper at the top part of this on my screen. Won't buy again. You decide.

These screen protectors are simply garbage and complete waste of money. I wasted all three of them and wasn't able to properly apply on the screen. It gets lots of bubbles and strange scratches on the sticky side and you can see these scratches on the screen when you finally apply them, not mention all the dust that it catches from the air. And most important thing is you can't take off little paper straps attached to them because they are glued so hard you have to use acetone to take them off. Don't waste your money, look elsewhere.

The company that sent this out stated that it was a screen protecter for my Blackberry....But the one that came was soooooo small.. I knew right off the bat that it wasn't for my phone.

I gave them to my son..they fit perfect on his small screened MP3 Player..

I'll never order from this company again. - Screen Protector - Blackberry Screen Protector - Bold 9700 - Screen Protectors'

Wentworth Miller - afterlife, alice

Visit Store Now !!

Yes, Paul W Anderson, the director of Resident Evil Afterlife 3D, used the same Fusion 3D camera set up as Avatar, evidenced by the film credits and 3D featurette on the 3D Blu Ray, which also plays standard 2D. The 3D as a result, looks excellent and better than most 3D films out there, excluding Imax's Studio Nature productions. From the opening to the end, everything pops out far greater than you might have seen. The rain in RE:A3D looks spectacular and the depth really shines as though you're "in the movie". This is what 3DHDTV was made for. If you miss this and own a 3DTV, your loss if you like action movies.

The movie has elements of the Matrix's fight scenes and slow motion, with The Walking Dead's zombie infested city. The film covers Alaska, Tokyo and Los Angeles. The opening action scene is a highlight and really slick, packed with blazing machine guns and acrobatics. There's also a Axe man scene worth buying this disc for alone, and a cool but short end fight scene with RE5's Albert Wesker. The story is a basic "escape plan" movie, but in the RE style. This is the best one so far IMO.

The featurettes are 47 minutes total, and informative, including cast interviews. There's also a screen in screen presentation, director commentary track, deleted and extended scenes and more.

Overall, if you own or eventually plan to buy a 3DHDTV, buy this version for a few extra bucks, as it plays in regular 2D on regular HDTV's and players and looks great in 2D, but exceptional in 3D.

Movie: 8/10

3D: 9/10

Extras: 7/10 Resident Evil: Afterlife [Blu-ray 3D]

My ratings are based mainly on the QUALITY OF THE 3D, not the video content.

There are about 70 out of screen effects that extend about 10% of the way, from the screen to the viewer. Another 30 around 25%. At 8:00 minutes a tri-blade throwing knife reaches 40% and at 64:00 minutes, a large blood spatter drop exceeds 50%. Too many OOS effects to pick my favorites.

*** A MUST SEE 3D - STATE OF THE ART AT ITS FINEST ***

*** Almost Continuous Action - Blood, Guts, Gore and Horror ***

MY 3D RATING = EXCELLENT (poor, fair, good, very good, excellent)

Note: As far as the percentages go, everyone's eyes are different. What I see at 25% you may see at 15% or 35%. To fully realize how far something is out of the screen for you, pause on an effect and direct a partner with an extended finger to the tip of what you are seeing. You may be surprised.

I saw this at the movie theater in 3D (complete with special 3D glasses they handed out) and felt like I was right in it. Every bullet, star, punch, blast, you name it - went right between my eyes. I sat 4 rows from the front (I couldn't get any closer without not seeing the whole screen) and was completely devoured by every creature. What an experience! Note I saw this at another movie theater that did not have the 3D version and I loved it but much prefer the 3D version. I have to say that if you love Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter - you won't be disappointed. They look super hot and kick some serious butt! The two of them team up to defeat a 12 foot tall executioner dude with a massive ax/hammer. K-Mart makes an appearance at the end but doesn't say a word. No matter - there WILL be a Resident Evil 5; I bet she'll speak in that one. PLEASE NOTE: Don't get up and leave after the credits start - there is another minute of movie to go; and it explains how Resident Evil 5 will start! Go see this while it is still in the theater - You will NOT be disappointed if you are a Resident Evil fan! Bon appetite!

As far as movies based on video games go, the Resident Evil series has been a cut above the rest. One good reason for this is the director, Paul WS Anderson, and his wife, actress Milla Jovovich (as Alice), who have created all four of the films together. None of the last three has quite topped the first RE, but then that's usually the case with sequels, right? (With a few notable exceptions.) Still, this 2010 version of RE is pretty impressive, especially with the introduction of 3D to the RE universe. The story consists of several very strong scenes separated by passages of relative dullness. The same is true of the 3D, which is used well at various points along the way, but there are also many times where it wouldn't have made any difference whether things were shown in 2 or 3D (as when the only 3D is the character standing out against the background). But when this movie is good, it is very very good. That includes highlights such as the 3D shots of Alice's small plane flying over coastal Cali and a destroyed LA; and especially the fight with the giant, hooded Executioner guy (probably the film's best scene). By contrast, the climactic fight with the main Umbrella Corp bad guy near the end feels relatively ordinary.

While I enjoyed RE Afterlife and am glad I saw it, there were a few minor problems (sorta) such as how so many fight scenes borrowed very heavily from The Matrix (something a lot of filmmakers do). That gave some of the fighting a "been there, done that" feeling. Also there were a bunch of things that either were not explained, didn't make sense, or defied any logic. In the "no explanation" category is the Executioner -- what is he and where did he come from? I think the answer is he exists for no reason except to be a cool, scary enemy, as was generally true of other "monsters" in both the games and movie series. But with the "Suspension of Disbelief" required in all movies of this type, these kinds of issues were really not problems. Those things were not the main reason I dropped a star in my rating. No, it was the lulls in action and 3D during the movie. But the good things definitely outweighed the bad overall.

I loved the movie! I've been following the Resident Evil movies since the first one came out. I've loved them all, and this one is no exception. The plot was good, the effects were stellar, as always, and the acting was superb. My only complaint about the movie was that because it was shot for 3D, the action sequences rely heavily on the 3D aspect of the film, and without the 3D, the action sequences are detracted from by it. I don't like 3D; that's just my personal opinion, and I think that the action sequences in this movie suffer because there are parts of them that are obviously made for 3D, and without the 3D aspect, they seem to lack somewhat in punch compared to the others. - 3d - Milla Jovovich - Alice - Afterlife'

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs - 27w, florescent

Visit Store Now !!

I tried to replace the original bulb in my Verilux desk lamp with this and discovered that the base is slightly different. As a result, it does not snap in when fully seated as the Verilux bulb does. At first it appeared to be working OK, but I later discovered that the loose fit causes frequent failures. You can get it going again by twisting it in the fixture, but it is likely to fail again the next time you turn it on. Verilux has you just where thay want you. See my customer image which shows the two side-by-side. Eiko 49315 - FML27/65 Double Tube 4 Pin Base Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

These 27 watt replacement bulbs are hard to find in Montreal Canada and when you do find them, they are very expensive.

This item was reasonnably priced, shipped quickly, was very well packaged and works flawlessly, I'm a satisfied customer.

I can't believe though, that in 2009, Amazon still can not ship to Canada !!

Amazon Canada only sells books and CDs but no merchandise.

Thank goodness for Amazon marketplace .

I bought this FML27 bulb for my Sharper Image "Bright as Day" lamp and it does work in that lamp. The lamp has a dimming feature, but the Eiko bulb doesn't do a good job with this - it will dim somewhat and then go out at lower settings. As I never used the dim feature, it did not matter to me. The light from the bulb is fine and matches that of the original that Sharper Image provided.

I can't yet comment on longevity - if I find it dies early, I will update this review.

I will note that, after I ordered this, I saw an equivalent FML27 bulb at a local "big box" home improvement store.

I've owned the Grandrich lamp for years and when the bulb finally went out, I saw that Amazon was the place to go for the replacement bulb. After reading the reviews re: the Grandrich replacement bulb, I decided on this one. Was I ever pleased with its continued service. The flexible neck on the lamp combined with the Eiko bulb? The combo ROCKS! It is perfect hovering over my table when it is time to dismantle firearms for cleaning because the bulb is bright and the lamp neck is 'just right' wherever you aim it. For a relatively inexpensive lamp and high quality inexpensive bulb I am a "quite satisfied" user/owner.

The bulb was packaged securely and arrived quickly. No complaints here! Just a nice addition to a room already well lit with a four bulb, quick start flourescent fixture in the ceiling.

The product works fine, however, don't ever expect the bulb to last around 10,000 hours as they described. Mine died after less than 6 month which gives about 1500 hour lifetime only. 6 x 30days x 8hours/day = 1500 hrs - 27w - Florescent - Compact Fluorescent Bulbs - Reading Lamp'

Smells Yummy - natural, face

Visit Store Now !!

I've been slowly adding to my Burt's Bees skin care collection since I started using the Radiance Day Lotion & the Citrus Facial Scrub (and loved them both). So recently I added this product, the Facial Cleanser - and I love it just as much. First of all I have to say I have super sensitive skin. With most product lines I cleanse & moisturize and end up with a burning, stinging face. This product is like most Burt's Bees: so gentle. I also have rosacea and extremely fair skin, so I can say for those fair maidens out there - this is good stuff!

I love that it's 100% natural in a time when most beauty products are riddled with chemicals and preservatives. In fact, this cleanser is so natural that when a little bit of it got into my mouth, it tasted sweet like orange juice!

The olive oil in it makes your skin feel delightful after use - typically most cleansers leave my skin dried out and parched, but not with this Burt's Bees cleanser. If you know much about skin care, you also know how wonderful olive oil is (for ALL skin types) and has been used for centuries as a "beauty secret" so I just adore Burt's Bees for including it in this cleanser. Since I began use my skin has seemed so much softer, more fresh, and healthier in general. I rarely get any zits or pimples, except lately I've been pregnant and sometimes get a few breakouts from the hormones. This cleanser does seem to help the mild breakouts as well.

I've found my cleanser, will use the rest of my life, I'm sure. Burt's Bees Facial Cleanser, Orange Essence, 4.34-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 2)

I have very sensitive skin, and I have tried every cleanser on the shelf and all they did was irritate my skin more. Finally I tried going totally organic, no chemicals whatsoever, and tried this cleanser. I was absolutely stunned by the results, my skin loved it! No redness or irritation, didn't leave it too dry, and even reduced my acne outbreaks! I tell everyone to go organic and to try this Burts Bees product and all their products.

I love, love, love Burts Bees, but I find that several of their facial cleansers, including the orange essence don't work for my skin. I have pretty oily skin and, after washing with this cleanser, my skin feels even more oily than it did to begin with. Perhaps this works well for people who have pretty dry skin, but not for skin like mine. Good thing I got the trial size to begin with and will move on to some other Burts Bees items to try for my face.

For someone who has reacted adversely even to Clinique cleansers, this Burts Bees cleanser is a godsend. It doesn't dry out my thin skin, smells fresh after a long day, and lasts forever. I just apply and wipe off with moist cotton pads. Sometimes I even use it in the bath for a pick-me-up.

It is essential for me that my personal and home products are ethically produced and relatively free of potentially harmful chemicals, so this is perfect all-around.

Great smelling gentle, yet effective facial cleanser. Does not leave skin "squeaky clean", instead it preserves moisture. Great on sensitive skin and dry skin, even with breakouts. Not sure how well it would work on normal to oily or oily skin. Works best in combination with a weekly deep pore scrub exfoliation.

This is a non-traditional cleanser. It is an emollient based cleanser and has lots of citrus in it for exfolliation. I use it on my acne prone skin and find that it actually helps prevent breakouts, rather than contributes to them. I love the scent, it is very refreshing and after rubbing it in with my fingertips and then wiping off with a clean, damp face-cloth my skin feels very clean, but not tight. It takes away the dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin of every molecule of oil they way most harsh cleansers do. My skin feels very soft and smooth and hydrated when I use this regularly and I find I don't really need a moisturizer when I use it everyday. I can't say enough good things about this great cleanser. Thanks Burt's Bees!

I love the fact that Burts Bees facial cleanser is a natural product and it doesn't dry out my skin after use. However, it didn't meet all of my expectations. I was looking for a natural product that removes makeup and also improves complexion. The product is natural, but it doesn't do a good job of removing makeup and it doesn't improve complexion. The product doesn't claim to improve complexion or remove makeup, so it's not falsely advertised. But if you are looking for those qualities, then I do not recommend this particular Burts Bees product.

The first thing I noticed about this item was the incredible smell. Yummy! I absolutly adore beauty items that smell as good as they work.

The first time I used this cleanser, though, I noticed that it doesn't rinse clean away like a lot of Burt's Bees products do. Granted, the directions state to rinse with a wash cloth, but I tried without one first thinking that all the hair products rinse so well, why wouldn't this? I rinsed, then I rinsed again, then I grabbed a dry cloth and rubbed off what I could still feel on my face. I then went to my toner and mask like usual.

Today, everything seems fine and dandy. My skin still feels a little oily like it usually does in the summertime. I will continue to use this cleanser and see how it works in the long term. At this point, the only down side is the reside feel. If it clears up my skin and has no SLS, then I may come back and change my 4 star to a 5 star.

Most facial cleansers contain sodium laureth sulfate which is basically a foaming agent found in many personal care products, and if it is accidentally ingested, it can't be metabolized by the liver. Besides the only things in nature that are suppose to foam are dogs with rabies, water falls, and babbling brooks.That is why I purchase Burt's Bees orange facial cleanser because it is SLS free and does a spectacular job of cleaning my skin without causing irritation or dryness. I love the orange scent and the way it washes away easily. My skin is left with a nice healthy glow. - Cleanser - Face - Natural - Cleansers'

Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Originally posted this review in January 2005; updated in February 2011. I own two of these drills, with a total of four 3.5 amp hour NiMH batteries.

Power. The Panasonic's 390 inch pounds is sufficient for most drilling and driving applications. However, putting things in perspective, my DeWalt DW235G 1/2" Heavy Duty 7.8 Amp corded drill has much more torque; so don't buy a cordless drill thinking you will have the "most powerful" tool.

Chuck. Terrific one-handed keyless chuck will tightly hold any bit, from tiny 1/16 inch round bits to 1/2 inch bits. Very quick to change out bits, even with one hand. My Panasonic chuck wobbles a tad and sometimes the shaft turns 1/2 revolution or so when trying to tighten the chuck, before it locks in place. (One Panasonic reviewer said "It is difficult to center small bits in the chuck"; probably a result of the chuck being open too far -- simply close-up the chuck more before inserting the bit.) Terrific electric brake. Release the trigger and the chuck stops instantly.

Weight. I can use it all day without arm fatigue. Heavier drills can be uncomfortable to use overhead for any length of time, and I'm 6/4 260 lbs.

Size. Relatively small for a powerful drill - e.g., it's shorter and 1/3 lighter than my Milwaukee V28 hammer drill/driver. Consequently, the Panasonic can be used in tight spots where larger drills won't even fit.

Run-time. Excellent run time due to the excellent NiMH batteries and their high amp-hour rating. When not in use it maintains a charge longer than any NiCad tool. On big jobs, keep the spare Panasonic battery in the charger so it will be ready when needed. On a construction job when the Panasonic is used frequently, a battery discharges about once a day. On rare days, I change out batteries twice. The battery does not get hot sitting in the charger for hours (or even days).

Battery life. Batteries began to noticeably deteriorate after 5 years of serious use. At the 6 year mark, my two drills are still usable, but run-rime is ½ of what it was, drill speed is reduced, power is diminished, and the charge only lasts a week. At this rate of decline, by 6.5 years, the NiMH batteries will be completely dead. By comparison, the NiCAD batteries on my [previous] Porter/Cable, Delta, and Bosch cordless drills were totally dead within 3 years.

Clutch. Offers a wide range of choices, from a few pounds of torque for small screws, to drilling a large hole. The "lock" position bypasses the clutch to provide maximum torque. It's pretty easy to snap a screw and/or Phillips bit by over-torquing.

Charge time. About 30-40 minutes. However, this isn't important if the spare battery is kept fully charged, because run time is far longer than charge time.

Ergonomics. Fits my [large] hand well, has no sharp spots, nothing pinches my fingers and the grip is comfortable. The reverse switch is perfectly logical.

Speed control. Excellent, going smoothly from a dead stop to full speed. Release the trigger and it stops instantly.

Gearbox. No problems with either of my Panasonic drills, so the gears must be steel. (One reviewer said the motor was turning but not the chuck; my guess is he had the speed selector set between high and low.) Steel gears are important to me ever since my Porter Cable 14.4 v drill stripped its nylon gears after two years.

Noise. The Panasonic whines a little, as though its gears are really tight. So what; it is not annoying.

Auxiliary handle. The Panasonic does not come with such a handle, probably because it is not sufficiently powerful to need one. E.g., the Milwaukee V28 hammer/drill is much more powerful (it's also huge and more costly), has a side handle that's useful when working with large bits that can bind and stop instantly. I.e., that handle could save your wrist from a nasty sprain if the drill continued turning before you could release the trigger.

Ruggedness. Drills have been dropped onto the floor a couple of times from about 5', with no obvious effect.

Tool case. Case is molded plastic, has metal latches, and fits the tool just fine.

Reliability. Couldn't be better. I've used my two Panasonic drills on a 2-year total home renovation, finishing a basement, and countless other construction projects, without a problem of any kind.

Summary:

An outstanding tool with terrific batteries. Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt 3.3Ah NiMH 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit

Shear power. At 390in./lbs. of torque I have been having trouble trying not to shear the heads off of galvanized screws (pre-drilled w/countersink). I've tried both speeds, and all of the clutch settings. This has forced me to drive screws 7/8 of the way home and finish off the deal by hand. I just finished using this Panasonic to drill 3/4" x 2 3/8" deep holes into a hardwood workbench for bench dogs. The Panasonic maintains constant speed under strain, and while getting hot, it did not overheat. The only reason I would need to stop was to let the fostner bit cool down.The 3.5 amp NiMH batteries are A+++++. The kit comes with two, so you always have one in the ready. One charge lasts a full day under heavy use. The drill is well balanced and has good ergonomics. The electronic brake stops on a dime. This can't be good for the brushes, but no problems so far. I like the weight of this drill, it is substantial but not too heavy. The best feature of all - SMALL DRILL BITS WILL NOT SPIN IN THE CHUCK. WOWI will probably dedicate the 15.6 volt to drilling and buy the Panasonic 12 volt cordless for driving screws. The 15.6 easily overpowers cheaply made screws. Highly recommended!! - Panasonic - Power Tools - Drill - Cordless'

Dog Racing In The Arctic

Visit Store Now !!

This is a good and compelling, but not a great, book. The author needs a little bit more polish in his writing style. As another reviewer points out, he swears a bit too much. The parts of the book about drug abuse among dog sled racers, the insensitivity of reporters to native Americans, and the coming end of frontier life in Alaska were also a little disheartening (although these are not the author's fault). Nevertheless, the author does a great job of taking us into this amazing race. His description of the absolute dedication that dog sled racing takes was excellent. He does more than just talk about the race and the racers; he really uses the race to show what life is like in rural Alaska and Yukon. The author does a particularly good job of describing what cold temperatures do to the body (his "walk down the thermometer") and the sleep deprivation that sled racers experience. His analysis of animal rights and dog sled racing was also quite good, walking the fine line between the opinions of animal rights activists and the dog sled racers. I'll also never forget that one of the main goals of dog sled racing is carrying as little as possible on your sled (the author uses a curse word to describe this, by the way). I also appreciated this book because it describes the sub-arctic experience, as opposed to the many books on arctic and antarctic expeditions; you really come away from this book thinking of those two different climates as being distinct from one another. Yukon Alone: The World's Toughest Adventure Race

John Balzar is first and foremost a reporter, with a reporter's unerring nose for news. So it should come as no surprise that word of the Yukon Quest, a 1,023-mile dog sled race through some of the coldest and most challenging terrain in the world, would capture his attention and get him started on the trail of a good story. What was a surprise, as much to Balzar as to his readers I suspect, was the degree to which the race and its participants came to matter. Quirky, devoted to a sport that doesn't translate well to television, and immersed in a way of life that 90% of the population can't begin to fathom, the people Balzar meets when he first heads north have "the power to fascinate." Following the advice of George "Skip" Brink, a construction worker who volunteers at the race, Balzar stops taking notes, sets aside his writing tools, and asks what he can do to help out with the race. Thus begins his stint as a pooper-scooper and veterinary assistant at the race, in which he slowly comes to realize that he is there to learn as much about himself as about the race.Yukon Alone is full of Balzar's characteristically insightful and amusing observations on life as he sees it, but it is not as polished or self-assured as some of his other work. In fact, the reader gets the distinct impression that Balzar is flying by the seat of his pants, figuring things out as the story progresses, which lends an immediacy and intensity to the writing. We are there, for instance, when he loses control of his dogsled team and ends up in a heap on the side of a trail with a nasty gash in his head. We stand by and watch with embarrassment as he asks a friend to fly him to see a woman friend, even though he knows he is risking both their lives. Here is a story that has much to say about what motivates and sustains us, and the importance of meaningful relationships with other creatures and the land. No doubt you will be amused and disgusted, shocked and dismayed, thrilled and touched by this book. The one thing you will not be is bored, which is one of the highest compliments I can pay Balzar.

I really enjoyed the book. The emotions this book brings out make it well worth the read. My puppy "Rugby" may soon have some siblings on the way, siblings that pull sleds.A must read for anyone who likes dogs and/or travel/adventure.

Balzar takes the reader behind the scenes and behind the sled, without getting mired in "technical speak" and superfelous jargon. A good blend of analysis and attitude. Having lived in Alaska for 10 years, I can say his take on social cliques, animal rights/dog mushers and the PFD are right on the money. While self-absorbed at times, the book nonetheless captures the "essence" of a lifestyle and a race. Having covered the race on three occassions for a radio station, I can say Balzar is never off-target, and even manages to hit a few bullseyes.

I give it one star for the topic and his interest in it. I give him another star for actually being able to write decent prose. However, I can't muster any more sympathy from there. Two incidents come to mind:1. He decries the race sponsor's press squad from Europe about not being interested in a native village in the Yukon. Later he's singing various things to a dog team, and spells out a military "morale chant" that is so profaine towards Eskimo women that I can't even repeat it here.2. He ditches his volunteer responsibilities, then talks a bush pilot (who has already declaired conditions unsafe) into taking him to town from a remote cabin. The officials had counted on the plane to get a trail crew mechanic and 2 dogs out. The author has the gall to approach the incident as funny, and is bemused when a race official is aggrivated because the dogs don't show up. Reason for the trip: he had a girlfriend driving out to meet him.And he can't figure out why some people wouldn't talk to him any more, including the race official mentioned in #2. Wow.Save your money, get "Tracks Across Alaska"- the writing is better, the history presented is richer, and the author ends up making more friends than he looses.

Bought the book for Father's day for my husband who loves outdoors, hunting, etc. He was visibly pleased as he read and I knew it was a serious read when the TV didn't come on as usual. He got a whole new idea of what the dogs were like. Don't think he is going riding on a sled!'

Home Security - lock box, wall mounted

Visit Store Now !!

Unbelievably, during my 19 years of homeownership, the way I've kept a spare key outside the house is by putting it inside a fake rock (from Brookstone) designed to hold a key. Not real safe, huh? My wife finally convinced me that we should get something a bit more secure than a plastic rock with a sliding cover underneath it to hold our spare key. After doing a bit of research and poking around on Amazon, I came across this Master Lock key storage box. It looked like exactly what we needed. (I had considered one other product on Amazon, made by GE, but was totally put off by the fact that even if someone didn't know your exact combination, they could still open the box. The device would open as long as someone entered the right numbers in your code, regardless of the order. Example: If your code was 4231, if someone entered 1234, the box would open. That seems wack.) The Master Lock box was simple to install. I just used the four screws that came with it to mount it to the side of my garage. It took about 5 minutes. Then I set my combination, put the spare key in the box, and locked it up. Voila! My wife and I now feel much safer about the location of our spare key. And it's nice to be able to change the combination anytime we want. Another truly great aspect of this product is the sliding protective cover that protects the number wheels (or whatever you call them). The cover keeps the numbers protected from the elements. Also, the box seems very strong and secure. I would highly recommened it to anyone. In fact, I'm going to buy another one for my brother-in-law to install at his cottage. A great product at a great price. Master Lock 5401D Select Access Wall-Mounted Key Storage Box with Set-Your-Own Combination Lock

I own 3 of these little combination lock safes. They are rather thick metal, so breaking into them would be extremely difficult. Not to mention, they are fairly small, so getting leverage would be difficult. Even if you could get them off the wall, you still have to find a way to crack it open to get at the contents. I would think a pretty hefty sledgehammer would be needed or some sort of high power saw/drill. Thiefs are looking for easy targets and this is not easy at all.

I have one outside my house with my house key in it, one in my office with the key to my finacial files, and one next to my large safe in the bedroom closet with the key to the larger safe. If you ever watch the show, "To Catch A Thief", you'd know that if someone breaks into your house, they're more interested in your checkbook, financial records, social security number, and other personal information than they are in your TV or DVD player. I've got all my personal financial information in a locked file cabinet. The biggest mistake people make is leaving the key in a rather easy to find place. So, I got one of these to put my file cabinet key in. This is so quick to access when you have the proper access code and it is so small that it can be mounted almost anywhere. I have mine mounted underneath my desk.

Bottom line: Great little safe for many uses.

It comfortably fits at least 4 keys and a key fob (Genie intellicode); all hooked together by two interlocking key rings. What they should emphasize a bit more is the sliding cover that conceals/protects the combination dials. The dials themselves easily click into their specific values.

This is a great lock and I recommend it.

Pro's:

It is well built and sturdy.

It's sized to fit on the door jamb in between the door and storm door, so it's out of sight but easy to access.

The mechanism works well (though the controls could be a bit bigger).

Con's:

My Caution is this: when you close the lock, the combination remains there. You have to remember to scramble it. This could be an issue if you allow others to use the lock, such as friends or workers. I'll address the issue by putting a note in the box to "scramble combination after closing". Of course, this applies to similar locks but a better design would be that the door doesn't latch while the combination is set.

I bought a couple of these for my rental properties and have only used one. It is at my own house. It is well worth the price to know that I will not get locked out of my house again. Also, if I unexpectedly need to let someone in my house, I can give them the combination and then reset the lock afterwards so they cannot get in later. I chose this model, which is screwed in with the screws only accessible when it is unlocked, because I though it would be less tempting to steal than the one that loops over the door lock. This model can go anywhere and be less noticeable. Also, I did not want anyone breaking the handle off of the door to get to the lockbox.

This is most peculiar, and perhapse only related to the specific unit I have, but when the box is cold, below freezing, it cannot be opened. I verified this by putting the box in my freezer and indeed, could not open it until it warmed up. When it was cold, the lever that unlatches the door would not move despite having the correct combination. As it warmed up, one could hear a click and then the lever would work. I came to this because once I had to sit outside freezing my tush, waiting for my wife, because the darn box would not budge. A few days later the weather was warm, the box opened, and my wife began to look at me funny.

The safe mounted on the wall easily, and feels very solid and sturdy, screwed into a wall stud. I think it will stand up to any torture an intruder would give it, but opens easily enough for anyone who you want to get in.

There is no question I will use one of these at every property I ever live in or own. Once you've screwed it to the wall (preferable a stud with bigger/longer screws than those that come with it), you're set! You can be confident that your keys are safe and sound right where you need them. You can let yourself in if you lose your keys or you can give someone the combination so they can let themselves in. Then you can change the combination so those you gave the number to can't let themselves in again without your permission.

I only wish I could rate this 6 out of 5 stars. Oh well. - Wall Mounted - Lock Box - Keysafe - Home Security'

Progressive Rock - psychedelic, bowie

Visit Store Now !!

Bowie's previous album "David Bowie" (1967) was his last folk music album. Bowie's next album "The Man Who Sold The World" (1971) was his first glam rock album. Right in between the two was "Space Oddity" (1969). Bowie managed to get the best of both worlds into this 10-song masterpiece. "Space Oddity," the title track, was his first commercial success (much due to the fact that it tied into the moon landing), and a nice yarn at that. Not one of his greatest, but it paved the way for songs like "Changes." "Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed" is just about as close to glam as he gets on this one, with about 3 minutes of guitar solo at the end. "(Don't Sit Down)" is the little insert which, like "Her Majesty" from The Beatles' "Abbey Road," seems almost as an afterthought. However, unlike "Her Majesty," this is quite good for all its 40 seconds. It's main flaw is that it could ONLY exist at 40 seconds. Any more, and it wouldn't be as nice. "Letter To Hermione" is his bitter plea to his recently departed (left, not dead) girlfriend Hermione Farthingale. Not much of a song, but the end ("He treats you well"/"He brings you out in style"..."And when you kiss it's something new"/"But did you ever call my name just by mistake?") is good enough to make just about any girl come back (don't you think she wishes she did, now?). "Cygnet Committee" is the grand gem of this album. 9 and a half minutes long, and great for every second of it. It weaves a talk good enough for a novel and the end brings to mind every great plea of human history, from Patrick Henry to Martin Luther King, Jr. "Janine" is a nice little steel guitar rockabilly number, which would probably go over with the Garth Brooks crowd even today. As a footnote, it's also one of those multi-decade numbers...as song from the '60s, with a sound like the '70s, in a film about the '80s, made in the '90s ("Whatever" (1998). "An Occasional Dream" is another about the failed dreams about his relationship with Hermione...much better then "Letter To Hermione." It's one that takes a while before you like it, though. "Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud" sounds like something from a Disney movie in more ways then one. But, the thing that strikes you most about it is the grand sound, which sounds like a national philharmonic orchestra. The song is great too, another nice bit about freedom. "God Knows I'm Good" is to his folk music days what "Unwashed And Somewhat Slightly Dazed" was to his glam rock days. Sounds so folky, it sounds like a leftover from the '60s. But, if you listen to the plot, it really does typify what folk music was all about...plot...social commentary. A nice simple story good enough for a short story. The title does a nice little twist at the end, good stuff. "Memory Of A Free Festival" is one of his earliest hippie songs, which were later perfected on "Hunky Dory" (1971). With an end refrain borrowed from "Hey Jude" and "Give Peace A Chance," this is the perfect song to end this album, sticking in your mind and making you want to listen to the album all over again. And, believe me, if you're a real Bowie fan, you'll want to. However, and there is a however, if this is going to be your first Bowie album, your making a big mistake. Go over and pick up "The Best Of David Bowie 1969/1974," then "The Best Of David Bowie 1974/1979." If you like those, you'll LOVE this.Best wishes, Marc-David Jacobs (AgentMarcFBI@hotmail.com) Space Oddity

The zoned-out photo of David Bowie on the cover of his 1969 album, Space Oddity, is a good implication of the product inside. Space Oddity is bizarre music. Take "Cygnet Committee" with its stark, cryptic, metaphysical language and dramatic cries of "I want to live/Live!" for example or "Unwashed and Someone Slightly Dazed," the story of an aristocrat's daughter who encounters a dirt-encrusted sooth-sayer, described as a "phallus in pigtails" or "Memory of a Free Festival" with its chant of "The sun machine is coming down/And we're gonna have a party!" The hit title track, the dreamlike story of doomed astronaut, Major Tom, may actually be the most upbeat and conventional track on this remarkably creepy album. Like its stunning follow-up, The Man Who Sold the World, Space Oddity is an early Bowie album that, despite not gathering the acclaim of latter efforts, such as Ziggy Stardust and Station to Station, simply blows me away. Mr. Bowie has never been renowned for the melodic, Syd Barrett-ish space-folk employed on this album but he surely knows how to compose such psychedelic-flavored folk very well. Space Oddity is wonderfully ambiguous, creepy and compelling.

There are truly some outstanding lyrics and songs here. Allow me to begin with my personal favorites: "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed," (hence my review title), "Janine," "Cygnet Committee," and "Memories of a Free Cloud Festival." Yes, we all know the title track (even non-Bowie fans know it well), but I don't think that it's the best track on this album. Perhaps I would think otherwise it I hadn't heard the song, oh, about ten thousand times. Do I exaggerate? Perhaps. But I do know that my non-Bowie fan friends (and I'm one of those truly obsessive Bowie fans out there, as in "Oh I adore this musician I must absolutely own everything he has ever released and not only listen to all his albums day in and day out-- an offhand allusion there to his album "Never Let Me Down"-- but I must also make everyone in my circle listen to Bowie with the hope that they will, if not at least love his music as I do, then they should certainly appreciate him as a musician!"), recognize "Space Oddity," and will at least humor me when it is played, by singing along. :)There is so much more to this album. It is a breakthrough, yes; somewhere between the adorable likes of his early early stuff (such as "Love You Till Tuesday," "Little Bombadier," and his exquisite cover of "Penny Lane") and, say, "Hunky Dory," or "Alladin Sane," etc, etc., but it is a stupendous breakthrough, nevertheless. Critics may say that he was "finding his voice" with this album, that with this album he was becoming the David Bowie persona that would change and change again for his audience, and I must agree, but I'm not certain that it is necessary to listen to this album while comparing it to the rest of his oeuvre. Genius, yes. Way before his time, naturally. His lyrics appeal to my most poetic side while still compelling me to sing (or at least hum) along to his melodies. And "Space Oddity" does this; the songs grasp you, make you want to sing along, spaced out as you change lanes, but you cannot help but to ponder the metaphorical/metaphysical/ philosophical aspects of his lyrics: "And I want to Believe/ In the madness that calls "Now."/ That's a light's shining through,/ Somehow. . . And I Want to Believe. . . I Want to Live. . ." Even so, there are some lyrics that are maddingly simplistic and unforgettable: "So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere. . ." The best of all possible worlds, perhaps? That is to say, the profound and philosophical realm merging with the simplistic and beatific realm of happiness and well-being. . ."It was God's land/ It was ragged and naive/ It was Heaven. . ." It may sound exhaustingly cliched, but this album definitely captures the transition between the peachy blissed-out state of the sixties and the new awareness/consciousness of the seventies. . . I had yet to be born, but, on listening to this album, I get this feeling of transition. Not only historically, considering the events of that era which would influence my generation, but also in listening to the lyrics which would eventually evolve (?) into those of "The Thin White Duke." A peculiar transition, and a welcome one. This album is a must for any Bowie fan. - Psychedelic - Progressive Rock - Bowie - Classic Rock'

British Mysteries - detective, mystery

There's not much left to say about this literary classic. It's great to have all of the stories and novels put together, in the order that they were published--there are references here and there to things that happened in previous stories. Of course, you don't have to read everything in order, but its worth it all the same.

Some of my all-time favorite stories in this volume of the collection are "The Red-Headed League," and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." Also worth a read are the short novels A Study In Scarlet, The Sign of Four, and The Hound of the Baskervilles. They illustrate Doyle's (and Holmes's) mastery of the art of observation. As Holmes says in a story in the second volume, "I see as much as you, but I notice what I see." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of my all-time favorite authors; this collection is highly recommended. Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Vol. 1

If you are a mystery fan, this is a can't-miss collection of the early Sherlock Holmes stories. While most of the stories are not as clever as the ones in the original Sherlock collection ("The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"), this book introduces two pivotal figures in the series - Sherlock's eccentric brother Mycroft and the evil mastermind Professor Moriarity. Most fans agree that the stories in ADVENTURES and MEMOIRS set the standard to which all other Sherlock stories are compared.

This book offered some of the lesser known writings of Doyle, as well as, some of the better known stories like "The Sign of Four". My only gripe was that the font was bit small and I was feeling like a detective myself holding a magnifying glass just to make out the words.

Arthur Conan Doyle captures my interest with each little detail and surprise that awaits our true Bohenian Detective and his companion Watson. The dialogue is always fluid and natural. And the stories are so involving. I recommend anyone hoping to become a writer someday to tackle Doyle's works headon. You'll be better for it.

Of the two volumes, this happens to be my favourite. Matter of fact, this is my favourite piece of fiction to date. There's some great stories in this volume, particularly, The Adventure of the Devil's Foot. The Bruce Partington Plans, Shoscombe Old Place etc.

The Case Book Stories found in this volume, the last twelve are probably the most romantic (not to be confused with romance, although there is some of that), on the part of Holmes' biographer Dr. John Watson (Doyle) and not as deeply scientific as some of the earlier works found in the first volume, like the Five Orange Pips.

The beauty of this volume though, works upon your imagination using your fascination with Holmes's outlandishness and quirky behavior and Watson's down-home bed-side manner.

A classic volume, indeed.

I have the whole collection of the Sherlock Holmes, and they are my all-time favorite books. There was never a better character, stories, or anything. I personally think that the reason many people think they start out slowly is because you have to understand the basic facts or you'll be puzzled when he's in the middle of the "big deal." They start out calm and get more and more exciting, so by the time the climax comes, you're almost nuts to read it all and find out what was going on! Anyways, this is the FIRST book I would buy for my fiction library.

I first read Sherlock Holmes when I was six years old, and if you read him every ten years they are as good as new. (I'm now 64). Stern and arrogant, but fair he was: though concerning the Giant Rat of Sumatra he may have been a little reticent.

The typeface is a bit too faint, but these novels and short stories excel in the Bantam editions because they are in chronological order. This makes it easier to understand "His Last Bow" for example.

I purchased both volumes at the same time so this review serves for both.

Conan Doyle gets all the credit! Try all the rest of his books.

It was such a pleasure to revisit some of these classic tales again for the first time since my teenage days. In addition to being packed full of brilliant stories, I really liked the format of the book as well -- although it's thick (just over 1000 pages) it's small and compact, which is good because you won't be able to put it down and thus will end up taking it with you everywhere you go! At least I did.

I saved the first two lengthier stories-- A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of Four-- for rainy evenings and started off with the shorter stories, which can be enjoyed "on the go", like bite-sized literary treats. Each tale is entertaining and captivating in its own way and the characters and situations are so brilliantly portrayed that you'll quickly forget you're reading fiction. Conan Doyle's writing style sweeps the reader back to the days of gas-lit London and makes you feel like you're right in the middle of everything that's happening.

The chemistry between Watson and Holmes is just delicious and while each story has a serious element to it, there is lots of humour sprinkled throughout. I think "A Study in Scarlet" is one of Conan Doyle's finest achievements as a writer and held me captive until the wee hours of the morning, and that's the sort of thing you want in good fiction. Looking forward to devouring Volume II.

I always admired Sherlock Holmes as a great detective, but never actually took to reading the actual stories. I must say this is a great book, though it starts off a bit slow with the way-too-drawn-out Sign of Four and Study in Scarlet, it picks up with the well done short storys like The Engineer's Thumb, The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, The Yellow Face and oh-so-many more. This is deffenately one to pick up, it's a thick book, too, at 1059 pages,

Thirty-six stories plus two of the four novels: that's more than half of the canon. All for seven bucks? We're talking about one of the classics of modern English literature. Even if it's been parodied and portrayed in more ways that you can shake a walking stick at, this collection still offers new readers the chance to discover a lifelong companion.

True, the font size is not huge (they need to fit over a thousand pages into this book, after all!), but it's certainly very legible. In return you get a book that you can take anywhere, in an admittedly large pocket. There's actually a combined book (Volumes I & II) but it's more than two pounds (weight not price!). That might be pushing it.

Either way, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is a classic for all time. That's elementary! - Detective - Mystery - Arthur Conan Doyle - British Mysteries'

Many people think this is an Acqua di Gio clone. I will say it is an improvement (significant) over Acqua. It has the same fresh scent with less acidic undertone. It is a great scent for summer, and last for a long time. I worked over 30 hours straight (standing and running), and could still smell it after getting home. Simply Amazing.

IMHO, this product can sell for more than Acqua. Did I mention it is almost at 1/2 of Acqua's price.

Bought this fragrance without smelling it because of all of the positive reviews. I was scared because the top notes smell like some sort of orange cleaning product. I thought that i had wasted twenty dollars but it dries down to the best cologne that i own. Smells like Aqua Di Gio but a lot cheaper and not as played out, highly recommended.

I have a 17 year old grandson. He had made a Christmas wish list with Perry Ellis 360 Red on it. I was unable to locate the item in my home town or in the next larger town. I ordered it on line. Needless to say he was overly happy when he opened the gift. I had to ask why this particular scent? It seams that a professor of his had commented on how good he smelled and my grandson said it was Perry Ellis 360 Red. The professor replied that he was impressed that someone so young had such discerning tastes... it was a sign of maturity. Needless to say, my grandson must have grown several inches and a lot of confidence because of that encounter. - Mens Cologne - Parfume Perry Ellis Gift 360'
