Yoga Mat - yoga mat bag


I love everything else from the design, color, compartments & size. The only problem is that the strap is not adjustable. Now every time when i carry i have to hold it on one side so it doesn't fall. I would appreciate if they can mention this on the product specification. I wouldn't consider buying if I had known. Gaiam Wisdom Yoga Mat Bag

I purchased this bag in November of 2008, and am still using it. It's held up well. I love the color, and the pocket on the side is nice for holding keys, gym card and yoga socks. The shoulder strap is comfortable to sling over your shoulder and go.



The only downside to this bag is that, since it's fabric, it's not great to carry around when it rains; your bag will be soaked, and your mat damp. I love everything else about it. When I first got it I had a hard time closing the bag at the top, but over time the fabric stretched so that now it closes easily.



A beautiful bag that I've really enjoyed using. The bright color is cheerful and distinctive.

I needed an inexpensive yoga mat bag and this one fit the bill. I'm pleased to report that it's sturdy and comfortable to wear slung over my shoulder and is capacious enough to fit even a very thick mat, tightly rolled. I am also able to squeeze a small bottle of mat spray into the outside pocket.



I wish there were room to fit my yoga towel into the bag as well, as I must carry that separately. However, if I did that, I would want the bag to have more venting so that that towel could dry properly. This is not a bag for storing anything sweaty. It's canvas, but I'm not sure how breathable it is. I haven't tested the limits.

I love this yoga bag. It is roomy enough to get my extra thick yoga mat in and out quickly. I love the design and the material is very durable and high quality. The zipper pouch is perfect for my keys! - Yoga Mat Bag'

First Person - love it, action


I was 11 when I wrote my last review over a year ago. My rating hasn't changed, but I'm going to include some great things I forgot to mention last year. The gameplay is super-cool and moves fluidly in the third-person perspective given in the game. The multiplayer is similar to Syphon Filter 2 and 3 except for that five-minute timer. The babes are hot and during the game, you will find yourself unlocking secret areas. Also, about the multiplayer, you can play Duke in different costumes, like Red Duke, Blue Duke, Western Duke, etc. The arenas are huge and brilliantly done. The graphics, even with the typical PlaySataion glitches look superb. Duke also has a funny attitude. If you want to hear him say, "I'm going to kick you in the nuts!" or "It's a** kickin' time!" you must buy this game. Here's a tip: try your best to make Duke mad and he will say something so funny that you'll be rolling. As for the weapons, you start off with a Desert Eagle and then move on to more sophisticated equipment like the Gatling Gun and an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade, not "role-playing game). If you're a hardcore action gamer with either a PS1 or PS2, you will never, ever regret buying this game. Duke Nukem Time To Kill

Graphics: 7/10 - Neat character creations and fantastic hard guns make up for the occasional sense of effortlessness in the graphics.Sound: 9/10 - Great guns fire away with heart-pounding brilliance in sound and editing!Value: 10/10 - With fun games like Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, you can't get enough. It's worth the money you pay for it because it's fabulously entertaining and will keep you glued to the screen for ages!Overall: 8/10 - Dirty, sexy, hilarious, neat, action-packed, thrilling, fun...it would take another few reviews to put all the adjectives that describe this game. Just play it and see for yourself! Not recommended for people under 16 years of age.

To like this game you have to enjoy riddling enemies with bullets, scantilly clad chicks, big guns, humourous, often profane duke-talk, and interactive environments. Doesn't sound hard to like does it? Well, you're right. Not recommended for younger gamers, but definitely recommended for the mature player. The levels are often complex, and there are more puzzles than usual, even in third person!

For the first time see Duke in third-person perspective.Duke Nukem is absolutely the best game on ps1(followed closely by soul reaver 1)because it has guns,strippers(fun to kill),humor,and above all else Duke Nukem.



Story:You are on your way to you faveorite strip club.While there the Pigs come and turn Duke's 'hog into a pink trike and kill a lot of people.Kill the people but mess with Duke's 'hog your gonna pay.



Gameplay:Similar to the Tomb Raider series but better.Sure we now have Dual Analog games but once you get used to it it is fun.Manual aiming is good but the auto aim is even better.Swiiming is a cinch.Plus you get to kill strippers!



Weapons:Awesome weapons.Your trusty pistol the Desert Eagle never fails to kill,the Combat Shotgun kicks series Booty(licious),the Buffalo Rifle is awesome,the Chain Gun kills all in the way,the Mighty Boot which is fun but dangerous to us and many other fantastic weapons.



Graphics:Excellent in their day but not so good now.But you can see everything that you need to to finish a level.Although what more than makes up fo the graphics is the ability to blow your enemies to bits with a pipe bomb.You actually see the arms,legs and head go flying around.Also,if you're a good shot you can blow off a pigs head.If the Pig is close to the wall he leaves a blood stain(or several)on the walls and floor.Enemies are designed great and Duke looks like he benches 800lbs.Interact with almost everything and anybody.



Missions:Fun yet difficult.No blow this up,kill this guy,or get out before time runs out garbage.Just find a way to reach the exit.



Levels:Designed great.Long and Perty.



Humor:Duke is one funny son-uva-gun.He says all these stupid yet funny things like I've got balls of steel! and Come get some! plus all these other outragouse and not-for-Amazon.com things(play the game to find out what).Also this game has strong sexual themes for those of you that are sensetive about that but you can turn the gore off if you want.



The Bad:A little difficult near the end,ammo depletes fast,and health seems to deteriorate in gun fights(it goes from 100 to 65 and you're like wha!!??).That is all I see bad in this awesome game and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I've read some of the reviews of this game and wondered what was going on. I've played the game and found it to be quite a great game. Sure the challenge is there. This game is like a cross between Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem. There are puzzles and platform features. But there are Duke characteristics to the game such as his humorous one-liners and antics. The learning curve is quite steep but after playing it for a while I got used to the controls. The controls are unorthodox only because the designers tried to fit a lot of moves etc. to the Playstation controller. But you will get used to the controllers if you keep at it. For those that complained that the game is too hard maybe they need to play games that are more suited for them. Video games are supposed to be challenging. Not the spoon-fed garbage that pass as video games but are in actuality interactive novels. Duke Nukem Time To Kill is simply put a great game if you are willing to put in the effort to learn the controls. If you do, you will find a fun game that is worth your time.

I made a big mistake when I first reviewed Duke Nukem: Time to Kill and gave the game 4 stars. It turns out that, as the game goes along, you're required to climb, swim and basically luck out avoiding gunshots from enemies. Enemies will ALWAYS hit you at least once before you can hit them. Not fair. The game is too hard, and the play control makes me absolutely sick. For some reason, you have to hit the Up button if you want to swim down. Makes NO sense at all.



The framerate is so slow and choppy I just decided that, after walking into a wall for the millionth time, it was time to put this game in the trash. When you walk into a wall, Duke stops moving completely and just stands there like an idiot. You will walk into a wall ALL the time because it's so hard controlling Duke. Some people might put this game is the garbage because of the bad example it sets for kids, but others (like me) threw it away because a challenge should NEVER lie in just trying to move your character from point A to point B. Please, avoid this horrible waste of plastic.



Hundreds of better games for the Playstation are available if you're looking to start up a collection. Avoid games like this one where just walking around becomes the biggest challenge you will face. God what was I thinking giving this game 4 stars. I should have collected my thoughts first. - Duke Nukem - Love It - Action - First Person'

Postal Scales - digital scale tare accurate, shipping scale


I added this to my wishlist on a whim, and received it as a gift. I have a store on Etsy and this is perfect for my needs. It really does weigh heavy items; I've put it on the floor with a box of stuff and it's accurate. The "lock" feature is SO HANDY for when you can't see the screen while you're weighing. Once it beeps, it'll hold the weight for a bit. Love it!



Haven't used the tare feature, but I haven't had to. I'll leave that up to someone else! :)



Overall, great postal scale, accurate and a good size. I keep it on my desk. Weighmax 2822- 75 lbs capacity Gray Postal Shipping Scale, Battery and AC Adapter Included

Bought this hoping for decent quality, when the box arrived I was thinking the worst, but when I took it out and started using it I was pleasently suprised. It works great and is the perfect size for my workspace countertop, its not too big and cant fit on a shelf and be easily and because its light, can be taken down and used as needed. The battery has lasted a long time and shows no signs of wearing out. I dont know how I lived without this for so long, no more guessing and over paying on shipping.

This scale works but it has absolutely no bells and whistles! I use it to weigh items for eBay and it serves its purposes but I wish it had a reset button. If you weigh an item, you have to wait about a minute before the scale resets back to zero. The only other option is to turn it off and then back on to reset it. If you're trying to weigh several items back to back, that one minute delay before it sets itself back to 0 between each and every item seems like a loooong time! All in all, the scale works fine.

Bought this to replace a 5 lb max scale. Accurate, quick, easy to use, GREATLY appreciate the battery backup. What more can I say? Buying one for my mother. Never have to stand in line in the Post Office again to ship - worth every penny.

while this scale is typically used for weighing letters or parcels, I use it to weigh NOS bottles to determine how much they contain - it's accurate and even though it plastic, it handles the 30-38# bottles just fine.

Excellent scale, perfect for my needs at a wonderful cost. It is extremely sturdy and I love that it includes an AC Adapter. I haven't had to use the battery it came with yet, so can't comment on battery life. It is light, but made of strong material. For such a small scale, I can't believe how much weight it can handle. No more paying extra to the Post Office. This scale is as accurate as it could be, with a digital display easy to read. Very precise scale. I love it!

This scale worked fine when it was dilivered. After being used less that 10 time in 5 months. It would not turn on with the battery or the adapter. I see two other reviewers had the same problem so I guess it cannot be repaired. - Shipping Scale - Post Office - Accurate - Digital Scale Tare Accurate'

Propane Grill - portable grill, barbecue


I am writing this long term review because as so many reviews are just initial impressions when the product is new. They are hard to find, but some people will write a review later in the product's life cycle, especially if they have had problems. This is not one of those "problem" reviews. The Weber Q is my all time favorite grill.



Background Info:



I bought my "Q" back in 2004 when they first came out; there were only two models at the time, the Q and the Baby Q. The overall design theory and execution of a portable gas grill was amazing in my eyes - like nothing I had ever seen before. I was in the market for a gas grill, and the portable nature yet still nice enough to grill on a daily basis design sold me instantly. I had used my dad's Weber gas grill since he bought it new in the mid 90's (comparable to today's Genesis models) and was impressed in every aspect, especially the longevity and quality of the components compared to "big box store" look-a-like grills. The price for a standalone Weber, like my dad's, was too high in my opinion, and I wanted more for my money. The Q's dual nature fit the bill perfectly. In addition to the Q, I bought about every accessory available at the time: rolling cart, Weber Q specific tools, cover, hose for external LP tank, etc. Every accessory followed right in line with the Q's portable design intent. The tools are my favorite as they snap into the side tables and easily fold up inside enhancing the go-anywhere part of the design. I recently (Summer 2008) upgraded my home setup to include the stationary cart for a more finshed look at home on the back patio.





Performance:



The grill holds a surprisingly large amount of food. I can grill for the whole family or more with no problems, (This totally depends on what you are grilling). I have grilled everything from the ubiquitous burgers, dogs, and brats to fajita meat and vegetables to corn on the cob and steaks. I can even fit 2-3 whole racks of ribs on the Q. Heating is surprisingly even with the rectangular shaped burner (which is stainless steel and after 4 seasons is showing zero signs of wear, corrosion, etc.). The heavy, thick cast iron grate should get most of the credit for the even heating. I really like the wide bars and tight spacing of the grate; I can grill sliced veggies and meats as if I were cooking on a skillet with no fear of them falling though. Temperature control is ultra easy with the single burner knob. I have taken the Q tailgating at sporting events, to picnics at the park, to friends' parties, etc. and it has performed flawlessly. It offers tons of cooking room for the size and minimal effort to bring along with the clever design of the grill and accessories. People are always amazed when they watch me unpack/pack the Q. Other than an occasional and end of season cleaning, this thing is maintenance free. Just brush off the grate, check the drip pan, and clean out the burned drippings in the bottom from time to time.



Final Thoughts:



Looking back at my Q experience, I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, I can't imagine owning any other gas grill - except another Q. If the day comes when I have to replace my beloved Q, I would probably stick with the original size, the 200 series; it is the perfect balance. The 300 series looks nice with the bigger size and extra burner, but I don't necessarily need the size and I feel it loses some of the portable utility that makes the original Q so great. Weber 396002 Q 200 Portable Gas Grill

I had owned a Weber Q100 for a couple of years and loved it. Recently someone decided that they were more worthy of owning it than I was and they "liberated" it from me. Oh well.



I thought about several other options for a replacement and settled on the Q200. There is a Q220 but it looks like the only feature that you get for the extra money is a thermometer built into the lid (the lid may be built a bit higher according to the description but I couldn't tell for sure). The Weber 300 is in a similar shape but it is more of a conventional grill with a cart and a 20lb. tank. I bought the Q200 for these reasons:



* I can use it on a cart or take it with me if I go somewhere and want a grill with me



* It has enough grill space for a meal for 4-6 people, plenty for my needs



* The fold-out shelves are really convenient



* I really loved my Q100 and I thought that I should stick with a winning, proven design



I bought the better cart for this and I use the big 20# gas cannister. However, if it runs out at a bad time I can use the smaller cannisters as back-up. Plus, when I travel with it I leave the big tank and cart behind.



One more thing, now I use a bike chain to lock it onto my porch rail. I not going to let this one go without making it a little harder for them this time.

Weber Q 6553 Premium Cover Fits Weber Q 300 Grill

Don't let the portability of this grill fool you. It cooks big and for many people at one time.



It take either the green camping propane bottles or hook it up to a 20 lb tank with the adapter hose (Recommended). The cool thing is if your big tank runs out without warning you can cook 2 or 3 meals with the camping Coleman propane until you get it filled.



Temperature control is great. You can get it real hot for searing steaks or low to roast whole chickens.



I don't know why anyone would buy a cheap import grill when you can have a weber Q 200 that will cook the same amont of food and have complete portability. This is a great little grill.

OK, I should have written this earlier, but I have figured I have used this Q-200 over 750 times!!

I cook dinner most nights on my grill, a meat, and also vegetables, some on the grill, some in foil. I think the secret to this grill is the cast grate, no other grill cooks so evenly, I hared those with cheap wire grates. I think the most amazing thing is after so many uses, it NEVER failed. I should clean it more often too, other than the drip tray, it gets a good cleaning only ever 100 or so uses. Just a brass brushing before each use. I'm amazed after 3 years of my hard use (more Abuse with my cleaning schedule!) this inexpensive grill still works as good as new. It does look pretty used, a few flare-ups have scorched the right side of the lid, but every part is 100% working.

To anyone that says Webber is not number one in quality, I invite you over next year to see if this little guy will be cooking it's 1000th dinner!!!!!

Oh, and I don't work fow Weber or Amazon, I'm a retail manager who apreciates a quality product in an age of throw away products. - Compact Grill - Barbecue - Propane Grill - Portable Grill'

If you've not came here by chance, then there's no way you don't know who is Lara Croft and what's Tomb Raider. It would be hard that you don't know what is Tomb Raider and that you at least know that there are more than one Tomb Raider game. If you know all this, then I doubt that this documentary will add a lot. First of all, we must clear out that this documentary was made for an English TV station and then it was released on DVD. In other words, it wasn't made to be an exclusive DVD documentary yet it was made just for the TV. The documentary is carried in 50 minutes, which are divided into 12 chapters. Personally, I liked two or three, and I found no reason why they made the others. This DVD focuses and TRIES to prove that Lara Croft is real. The first chapter is called 'Who Is Lara Croft?' and the last one is called 'Leaving Lara'. It starts by taking you to the school in which she's learned and tries through the whole documentary to prove she's alive. Focusing on weird subjects, like the OBSESSION part which cycles you with lots of fans who nearly left their lives for the sake of Lara, I don't actually see why this is important. Also, focusing on a weird woman who has a collection of dresses like those Lara wears and she actually wear them in public, are these the right people? Perhaps I'm the one who's not normal. Another man subject the DVD focuses on is her 'Sex Appeal'. It devotes a full chapter for that and then they return again for a similar subject in Chapter 8 'Uncensored' where they throw on you lots of manipulated nude pictures of Lara Croft. It's really annoying, it's annoying that through the whole 50 minutes they didn't talk about anything except three subjects; Lara is REAL, Lara is SEXY and FANS are MAD of Lara (truly mad). I don't know, but if you're expecting a documentary about the game, this isn't it. This is exactly as the name says 'a documentary about LARA' and as the picture shows 'Some Sex approach'. I was expecting more refering to the game, which is actually what Lara Croft is. I liked the game very much, but I never thought of Lara more than a character inside the game, not a REAL character as they were trying to convince me.. Lara Croft - Lethal and Loaded

Every time I watch this movie I can sit there and enjoy it like it was the first. Although some of the information -such as the small part about the next Tomb Raider game for Playstation2- is now older and you can find more info about it, it is still fun to watch, expecially if you know nothing about it. Someone who is new to the Tomb Raider series can gain some background knowlege to the game, and some of the current players can possibly learn something they didn't. There is even a little comedy in it (I don't think it was suppose to be funny, but I thought it was) when this Tomb Raider fan dresses up as Lara and walks around town (and yes, it is a girl.) Anyway, I give it 5 stars because it's something that I can watch more than once without it becoming stale.

Perhaps the most-recognized computer game character on the planet is finally recognized with a DVD which covers almost everything from her creation to the methods of her destruction to gamers' obsession to Lara lookalikes. At about forty-five minutes long, there is an ample amount of eye candy along with plenty of interesting information. However, this DVD is slightly dated, as there is absolutely NO information on the Tomb Raider film released Summer 2001; the film only gets a brief mention at the beginning of the main program. Another disappointment is that there are no bonus items on this DVD: no new images of Lara Croft, no official biography, etc. This is why I can only give a "4" rating to this otherwise excellent and low-price DVD. One important note: There is actually nudity here. Shortly after Tomb Raider became truly successful, various patches were posted on the Internet to allow players to see Lara Croft nude. Part of the main program addresses this issue, and shows some images of the (very much unofficial) nude Lara Croft, even while voiceovers discuss attempts at preventing this unauthorized use of the character.

I purchased this DVD for my 11 year old son. We have played all of the games together and really enjoy them , and are looking forward to Tomb 6. However, there was no mention in any of the reviews of the nudity. What does that have to do with the game, or the creation of Lara Croft? This DVD could have received 4 or maybe even 5 stars if that segment was left out. I expected Lara's 'size' to be mentioned, NOT pictured. A mention of this on the box or even here would have prepared us, or maybe I wouldn't even have bought it. - Action Adventure - Angelina Jolie'
