Preschool Activity Book - preschool activity book, preschool

I used this book with my daughter Victoria during her summer vacation 2002. She has been diagnosed ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). After having a tough year in kindergarten I wanted to make sure she had a head start on all the learning requirements for 1st grade. As her first week of 1st grade came to a close we received many comments on her reading skills and other skills. I enjoyed using this book as a 1 on 1 tool with Victoria and her self-confidence has been boosted because she does see that all the hard work this summer has paid off. She completed 200 pages of the 440 + pages of work and will hopefully complete the book on weekends and vacations so that she can start the next level next summer. Highly recommended. Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills, Grade 1

This book allows children to learn new school skills as well as polish up on already known skills. The pages are jam packed with colorful drawings and characters that make children using the book want to continue doing and learning more. This book can be used as a home-schooling book, or a a tool to give children a "Jump-start" on their next year of school. I reccomend this book to anyone with a child in the house. It strengthens reading and writing skills tremendously. Don't miss out on giving your child that extra edge in school!

-Cynthia Vail. Paso Robles, C

I bought two copies of this book in July to use in homeschooling my first grade twins. This is our first year homeschooling, and choosing the right curriculum was daunting, to say the least. When I found this book, the pages reminded me a lot of the Saxon Math and Saxon Phonics worksheets my kids had brought home from kindergarten in public school, except that they are far more colorful. I decided that I couldn't really beat the price, so I gave the book a try.

As of this week, we are halfway through the book and moving right along. Based on my conversations with parents of first graders in the local public school system, my kids are actually ahead of their peers. The best thing is, they are EXCITED to do their school work each day. They often ask for more work in the evenings! If that is not a good review of this book, I don't know what is.

My one and only complaint with the book is that there are often not enough pages dedicated to a particular concept. However, I have found that it is easy and fun to supplement the worksheets with games that we make up on our own. For instance, when learning beginning or ending consonant sounds, we would have races to find objects in the house that began or ended with the target letter that I would call out. This helped to really cement in the concept that had been studied in the book and present the same lesson in a different form.

If you are teaching multiple children at home, I HIGHLY recommend getting each child his or her own copy of the book. I considered buying one book and photocopying the pages for each of my children, but the cost of the book is likely less than I would have spent on paper and ink. I also DEFINITELY recommend buying a 2 inch binder and tearing out each page as you work on it. The book is very thick and does not bend open easily... tearing out the pages allows for much better handwriting form and it allows you to skip back and forth easily from the math to the reading sections.

A few things we didn't like: There are way too many coloring sheets for us since ds hates to color. There are plenty of other valuable worksheets though. I wish the parent guide was a little more informative. Some of the directions are very long and confusing for a first grader. The math sections are kindergarten level at best. In all it was worth the few bucks I paid for it.

We home school and I have used a few different levels of this book for review purposes. The exercises range from review of the end of grade before to mid-level exercises of the current year. Rather than going thru the book from beginning to end, I tear out the pages which I fell my daughter needs a review on. We probably only use 40% of the book because the exercises seem pretty simple. We find nothing too challenging. Using this book helps me fell that we covered all this grade's material sufficiently.

The full-color entertaining graphics are refreshing and make otherwise potentially dull material refreshing. I was happy that reading, reading comprehension, english, spelling, and math subjects are covered. The answer section in the back is always appreciated just to confirm that I am understanding what they want.

I was a little disappointed to discover that the spelling section is EXACTLY the same as the material from another School Specialty Publishing publication, "Master Skills Spelling & Writing". I would say 80% of the material from Master Skills is in this book as well. What is missing is the entertaining crossword, fill-in, and word finds. These "fun" exercises were my daughter's favorite part of the Master Skills book. I have run into this before when purchasing School Specialty Publishing books. FYI and buyer beware.

Although I would not recommend this book for Home-schoolers to use as their primary curriculum, this book is great for extra practice or to use as a review. For the Price, this book is a combination of workbooks put together adding a little flavor of history and science

It's a little simplistic when it comes to some pages but this depends on your childs skill level. We use this for homeschooling and enjoy it as an easy alternative to printing out worksheets to do. The pages are colorfull with nice pictures (even the answer key in the back is in color). Worksheets have printed directions at the top of each so children can do them independantly. I feel like this is a good quality book for the price.

This book is a summer review book before going into the [...]. I have twin girls that just finished kindergarten. Everything that is in this book was covered in their kindergarten class. Last year, I purchased the kindergarten Curriculum Book and that was also much review but it also had some challenging concepts that they had not learned previously in preschool. I would not use this Grade 1 book as a companion for their [...] learning but I think it is a wonderful source for continued summer learning and review before children enter the [...]. - Curriculum - Homeschool - Preschool Activity Book - Preschool'

Eligible For Super Saver Shipping - milwaukee, staplers

Visit Store Now !!

I just purchased this stapler to install cedar siding and it worked great. Using 1 1/2 long staples it had no problem going through the siding, 3/4 plywood and into the 2 x 4 studs. This unit comes in a nice plastic case with with metal clasps. This stapler is light and easy to use. Note this unit does not come with a fitting so have one on hand if you need to use it right away. Milwaukee 7155-21 3/8-inch to 1-1/2-inch 18-gauge Narrow Crown Stapler

I bought this gun to put cabinet drawer boxes together.

The GOOD is-

I really liked it from the box. It is nice and light with a really cool belt clip. That would have never sold me on the gun, but now that I have a belt clip - I am looking for a finish nailer with one (it must have one)! It helps if you put a swivel hose nozle on the gun so it doesn't fall off your belt as easy.

This gun has a small profile and simply feels nice. The knob that allows you to control the depth clicks as you turn it (which is just plane nice again, not a feature that would sell me on the gun).

It also will not fire when it is out of staples, so it doesn't make an uneccesary hole.

The BAD points are few, and maybe undetected. I have been buying less expensive guns in the past, like porta-cable. When they broke, I tore into it to find that it has a plastic cylinder. Is that what this gun has?? The safety tip has bent out a little, which can be a big inconvenience when you are trying to shoot near an edge. The tip will not contact your material, and therefore prevent you from firing. Also, there is no indicator of your staple supply.

So far, I would still buy this gun again!

As a pneumatic neophyte I found the 7140-21 very easy to load and use. Worked perfectly right out of the box without any depth adjustments. Quality and durability are important to me so I was willing to spend a little more. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Milwaukee tool in the future. You supply your own NPT adapter so make sure you have it on hand so you can begin using this tool immediately.

This seems to be a pretty sweet little gun. I am a contractor and just wanted to find a rebuild kit for my senco gun. Saw this low priced gun and thought I would take a chance on it. I needed to staple a lot of Redwood slats for a Japanese style fence. The gun worked perfectly. I really liked the depth of drive adjustment. For underlayment you will probably want a heavier duty gun.

I've had half a dozen narrow crown staplers and worn them all out. I've used this one a few times now and have been pleased. One nice feature is that it stops sending the plunger down when it runs out of staples. The price was right and the stapler seems like a good one.

The price points on this tool are pretty good. It has many attractive features and it operates quite nicely. This model allows staples up to 1 1/2 inches in length--its best feature. Most "economy-priced" staplers stop at one inch, a limitation that will come back to haunt you. Much of the tool is plastic, so don't expect an ultra-rugged workhorse like the Milwaukee tools of the good old days. I use this tool for both work and home projects and expect it to last as long as its comparable-priced competitors. CAUTION: This tool does NOT come with an air line nipple, so plan to have one on hand if you buy this product.

I havnt used it much but wen I did it set the 1 1/2" staples in MDF and pine with no problem. I found the safety to be a hinderance in detailed mouldings, I forced it back with a shim and works much better now. It still sticks out 1/8" I tried to hacksaw it off but it must be hardend, a friend suggested I use the belt sander. I had an old pasload that bit the dust and it was much heavier than this tool. I luv the light weight and the color. If I can eliminate this saftey and it performs in the hardwoods I will be a happy camper.

This Milwaukee stapler has worked pretty well and has saved me a lot of work. A far cry from having to use a manual stapler. I do have two minor complaints. The first is that mine did not come with the anti-mar piece that fits over the actuation plunger. This would help to minimize the amount of surface marks on the finished product. The second issue is that when using the smaller sized staples - 3/8" and 1/2" - it will occasionally misfire. It doesn't jam - just no staple is fired. The next one may be fine, or it may take two or three tries. Then it is back to normal. I have been using only brand name staples, so can't imagine that is the issue. Even with this irritation, I would never go back to doing it the old way. - Staplers - Milwaukee - Pneumatics - Finish Staplers'

Optical Digital Convertor - audio, digital

Visit Store Now !!

Works great for my application! My brand new SHARP Aquos has five HDMI inputs, but only one Optical audio out. My old BOSE LS-50 only has ONE COAX Digital-in (and NO optical). This unit allowed me to pass all of the audio through my TV (PS3, Wii, Tuner, PC, etc.) and out to the BOSE without a switchbox or changing wires all the time.

I have NOT had to power-cycle the device yet (as other have warned) and it has worked consistently and sounds great.

**NOTE** As others have mentioned; BE SURE to get the right one!!! This model is OPTICAL-IN, COAX OUT. These are uni-directional and this unit will not convert COAX to optical. Choose carefully! Cables to Go 40019 Optical to Coaxial Digital Audio Converter (Black)

I had the problem of too many TOSLINK outputs and not enough inputs. The good news for me was that I did have one spare Coax input. This converter easily made the switch and I'm enjoying my digital audio with no problems.

Please be aware that this is a powered unit- so plan to have a power brick (albeit a small one) plugged in somewhere near your desired install location. Also, the unit itself is about the length and width of a business card, and about as thick as a deck of cards. In other words, it's pretty small and can fit just about anywhere.

I bought this converter to be able to connect my PS3 to my home theater, which only had a coaxial input... I refused to buy a new home theater because it's not easy to find one with an active subwoofer (nor cheap).

It usually works perfect, but sometimes after a while, and all of a sudden, normal sounds become a very loud and irritating hiss, which usually scares the hell out of me...

I think I found out what causes this: when it gets hot (it was besides my PS3) so I repositioned it in a cooler, better ventilated place, and that was it... recommended

My amp has 1 optical and 3 coaxial digital audio connections. Both my playstation 3 and Tivo HD are optical only. With this convertor I can have both components hooked up at the same time with no problems, it just works and I still get the dolby digital 5.1 from the Tivo. I can discern no difference between connecting the tivo directly to the amp via optical, or to this convertor and then to coaxial on the amp. I have my tivo and this unit on a timer that turns it off 12+ hours a day to save energy, and this device doesn't mind losing power each day.

I have been trying for some time now to figure out what I needed to convert the Optical Audio out on my new HD TV to my Philips Surround Sound System. My TV unfortunately did not have a HDMI output despite having 4 HDMI inputs. The Video out was handled by a set of Component Video Outs.

I think my main problem was not knowing the correct technical name for all the jacks. As it turns out the TV optical jack is generally called a TOSLINK - The Philips unit had a Digital Coaxial Input as well as standard RCA sort of inputs. I wanted to maintain a high quality audio signal so I found this device which has allowed me to use the TOSLINK Optical Output on the TV and connect it to the Coaxial Digital Input on the Philips.

I bought this Toslink cable for the tv out

Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 3ft

and this Digital Coax Cable for the philips in

Belkin PureAV AV20100-03 3-Foot Digital Coaxial Audio Cable

Everything worked perfectly and took about 30 seconds to hook up.

Note that this item requires a power plug.

the product works fine and it came in black instead of silver which was a delightful surprise, the only problem is that every now and then it needs to be reset. to reset the easy way, (instead of unplugging it)I cycled through the settings on my receiver (i.e. aux1, aux2, etc)i would recommend this for people who dont want to spend alot to get there optical audio cable to digital coaxial - Great Device - Audio - Optical - Digital'

Wandas Evil Scheme - dry erase, dryerase

Visit Store Now !!

I spent 10 years teaching in a blackboard and chalk environment, but I changed jobs several years ago and I've been teaching in a whiteboard and dry erase marker world ever since.

I have to admit that I was hesitant to make the switch - people don't like change, but I've come to appreciate the increased flexibility that dry erase markers can give.

I routinely use 5 or more different colors of markers in my zoology courses (black, red, green, blue, orange, and sometimes others), and I've been particularly pleased with Expo Dry Erase Markers.

I find these markers to have brilliant colors, I quite like the orange ones :-)

Of course, no marker lasts forever, and like any marker, once these start to run out or the tip dries out it's a gonner. Until then though they work great.

Likes:

- I like the fact that you can tell when the pen cap is firmly seated - a must for lengthening marker life

- I also like how the pen cap fits easily and securely into the opposite end of the marker so you don't lose it while you are writing.

- I like that fact that the color of ink in the marker is clearly indicated on the pen body.

Dislikes:

- The chisel-point tip on these markers is too fine. When a marker is brand new you have plenty of ink, but because the ink tip is so fine you have to hold the pen at a particular angle to get a wide enough like to make a bold mark that is wide enough for students at the back of a 100-seat lecture hall to see. Then by the time the pen nib gets into a workable shape to produce a nice heavy line every time you shortly run out of ink.

All in all, these are very good pens, but not without some minor issues, thus 4 stars for teaching. These would be worthy of 5 stars if they were used only for personal in-home white message board use.

I hope this was helpful.

Write-on! Expo 7-Piece Original Dry Erase Organizer Kit

The markers are dark and clearly visible, while the eraser is fairly thorough. The box comes with a plastic-molded container (as you see in the picture), with double-sided tape for easy, stable, mounting on a wall beside the whiteboard. For the low price, this is unbeatable.

They write consistantly well. Seem to last fairly long. The price is good. The eraser works as well as most other dry erase markers.

They got here fast...

I'm not sure what else to say about dry erase markers...

I use these for whiteboard teaching presentations. I love having the additional colors of Orange and Brown to the standard primary colors.

If you do any sort of technical presentation where having multiple colors is useful, this is a great purchase. I've been using EXPO markers for many years and they've never let me down. Good quality markers at a reasonable price shipped free; there's no down side to buying these.

i've been using these for a couple of weeks. At first they worked out great. Now the ones that I've used for a couple weeks aren't working so well. And whereas at first it was easy to erase the markings, now it's much harder. The ones that I've used for a couple of weeks are harder to write with and much, much harder to erase.

I understand that felt markers don't last forever, but it's only been a couple weeks.

I put this up in my room next to my whiteboard. The adhesive is small, so I had to reinforce it, but other than that the markers are new and the eraser is of decent quality. Cant beat it for the price! - Dryerase - Dry Erase - Boards - White Board'

Natural Cures - hemp food, health

Visit Store Now !!

I love this company! Their products are always fresh and delicious. The hemp seeds are wonderful and versatile, and I make all kinds of recipes with them. I like buying the big bucket of their hemp seeds because I use them in shakes, smoothies, eaten plain, added to trail mix, sprinkled on salad, and I even make many Raw vegan desserts, soups, and pates with them. I keep them stored in the freezer for extra freshness. This super food's nutrient profile is awesome... highly digestible complete protein, essential fatty acids in a great ratio, iron, calcium, vitamin E, zinc, chlorophyll, and other nutrients.

Just the other day I created a Raw Vegan Frozen Banana Protein Shake by blending 1 cup water, 3 sm-med frozen bananas (chopped), 1 Tablespoon raw carob (optional), 2 Tablespoons Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seeds, and 4 Tablespoons Manitoba Harvest Protein Powder. It was so yummy that I made a second one in the same day and I'm getting ready to make another right now. Manitoba Harvest Shelled Hemp Hearts, 5-Pound Tub

This is the 3rd time I have ordered from this company through Amazon and have never had a problem. The container clearly states that it contains "shelled hemp seed" which I would interpret as "hemp hearts" without the outer shell or husk. But apparently it doesn't say that the husks are removed from the container. This most recent order had at least 50% husks mixed in with the hearts so I took issue. Amazon as well as Manitoba Harvest were very accommodating and sent a replacement order. I was not charged for the first order. The replacement was better but still had lots of husks. I've purchased other hemp hearts in the health food store and there are no husks at all so this was a bit disappointing. If you don't mind the taste or texture of having them in there, then it's a great deal.

Hey! If you have never tried adding Hemp seed to your diet you should. I started out with a smaller version of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed, but used it all in smoothies, salads, and various recipes quickly, so I upgraded to the 5 lb. bucket. It stores nicely in my outside frig. You can also store Hemp seeds in glass mason jars and freeze them. When you are ready for use, just open the jar and measure out the quantity you need.

The taste of Manitoba's Hemp Seed is superior in my opinion. In fact, I have grown to love the taste of hemp. I always sprinkle a few tablespoons on my kale salads or in smoothies.

Overall, I highly recommend this product especially if you are looking for more vegan ways to up your protein intake, as Hemp is an excellent source.

This is a fantastic product, I just ordered my second tub. The seeds smell very fresh and keep well. The protein is primarily edestin, which is a native protein to the human being and is the ideal protein for anti-body and immunoglobulin production. There are also no enzyme inhibitors on shelled cannabis which makes it very easily digestible. Also, the fat content is literally a perfect source of essential fats, with the same ratio of fats as are found in our brain! Of course they are short chain omega 3 fatty acids, as with all vegetarian fair, however the human body produces the enzyme delta-9 desaturase which transform them into long chain fatty acids, like those found in fish. It is this process of the human being developing the long chain fats that Rudolf Steiner hints at as being one of the real spiritual reasons to consume vegetarian foods, is that our body becomes a factory for certain fats, which has a certain alchemical effect within the individual.

I thought it would take me awhile to go through these but I finished the tub within 2 weeks. Excellent to sprinkle on salads, steamed veggies, base in smoothies, additive to yogurts and oatmeals, mixed with potatoes, pretty much mix it with anything.

I was showing the tub off to one of my friends who eats more of a mainstream diet and I put it up to her nose to smell it and she said it smelled like dirt - it really sort of does, it smells great. It is very earthy and almost bitter in taste, however it is very mild when mixed with other things. The seeds have a robust character of tremendous value to the human species, anyone committed to the development and future of humanity would be wise to befriend and defend this plant of nearly unequivocal value to the human species.

Hopefully there will be hemp farms in America soon - If we had eyes to see this food would be a staple in all hosptials, schools, and other major food institutions. The plant is easy to grow and extremely useful in a multitude of ways. Word to the wise: Keep your eye on hemp.

After purchasing a much smaller package at Native sun, I researched for other cost effective alternatives and found this 5-pound container on Amazon. We use it daily as an extra protein source and have found it is giving us a boost of energy when taken early in the morning.

5 pounds is a lot of seeds. I sprinkle a couple of tablespoons on my cereal for breakfast -- which should last me about a year. If you're on a diet make sure that you check the calories and act accordingly. The nutritional breakdown of hemp seeds makes them a very good addition to your diet.

I've also added a handfull of nuts (almonds or walnuts) and 2 pieces of 90% cocoa (Lindt) to my daily food intake. All three are high-calorie foods but in moderation appear to have very significant health benefits.

These seeds are high in protein and I highly recommend that you research their benefits.

This is the best deal for bulk Hemp Seeds on Amazon. Manitoba is not Certified Organic, but does follow Organic practices as well or better than any other producer. Because they are not certified, their costs are lower, and the prices are too. Hemp Seeds are a perfect food, combined with some goji berries and plenty of fresh greens, Hemp is all you need for complete nutrition and a perfect diet.

It's really a shame that US growers cannot legally grow this amazing crop that contains 0 psychoactive compounds. Farmers grew Hemp in World War II to clothe the troops for battle, and this fast growing crop helped win the war in it's own way. - Hemp Food - Hemp - Health - Raw Food'

Charging Cradle

Visit Store Now !!

I ordered the Motorola Droid Multimedia Station on the Droid's release day because I thought it was a cool idea. I didn't see it in person until it was delivered to my door and the geek in me loves it!

PROS:

- Nice build quality

- Non-skid base

- Turns your Droid into an alarm clock and weather station

- Sync your data via USB cable

- Just plain cool looking

CONS:

- Will not work with cases

- Somewhat expensive

The box includes 4 items, the actual dock, a micro USB cable, an AC adapter, and a user guide. The dock itself is very well made and is quite hefty in weight. You won't be accidentally knocking this dock around from your desk especially since it also has a non-skid base. The dock has a micro USB port that you plug the cable into and then you plug the other end into the AC adapter. This of course, powers and charges your Droid, which is perfect for your nightstand. If you want to sync your Droid, just plug the micro USB cable into your PC. This will charge your Droid too, but at a much slower rate and only when your PC is powered on.

When you dock the Droid in, the orientation changes automatically to landscape. You select what city you want your weather widget to display and boing, you have your multimedia station. The dock has magnets located in specific areas to activate this mode, which I just found can be activated by using an app called "Dockrunner." It is available for download in the Marketplace.

It's a little pricey for what it does but it is cool nonetheless. An audio out or built-in stereo speakers would've been cool but no biggie! Motorola DROID Multimedia Docking Station [Retail Packaging]

I really wanted this for my Droid, and its good quality. When you place your Droid in this Charging Cradle/"Multimedia Station", it charges you battery and magnets activate a Multimedia mode on your phone, allowing you to brows photos, listen to music, and work with your alarm clock right on your nightstand. Not owning an iPod, I can't tell you how much I love having all mp3's and so forth available right next to my bed. This is a lovely product.

Pros and Cons:

1) The magnets override your lock feature, which may be a security issue for some.

2) The Droid won't fit in the cradle with any kind of body armor/silicone/hard plastic case attached around it. You'll have to take this off when you want to use the cradle.

3) The Multimedia mode has a built-in "dimmer" switch for night time use, but I personally find even that setting emits too much light in my room, and that makes me crazy. If you don't have an issue with things emitting light while you sleep, this is a non-issue for you.

4) The cord that comes with the cradle is the same as comes with the phone- its VERY short. I had to use a USB extension cable to get from an outlet to my nightstand.

I really like this though- the problems I have all me.

The droid multimedia station is a nice desk accessory, but it has its problems and don't buy it as a bedside alarm clock.

Pros:

1) Beautiful and compact

2) Easy to exit dock mode and access most other Smartphone functions.

Cons:

1) There is only one dimming level, which is still fairly bright in a dark room.

2) When the display is dimmed, there is little contrast between the numbers and the background, making the display hard to read. This

problem could be solved if the background and/or time coloring were customizable, but this is not the case.

3) When placing a call while the droid is in the dock, the in-call screen does not shift into landscape mode, making it difficult (but not impossible) to accesses the features such as the dial-pad and speaker button.

4) The buttons on the bottom of the screen stay illuminated, regardless of if the screen is dimmed or not.

5) It would be nice to change the widget buttons while in the multimedia dock mode. For example, I do not use the built-in android alarm clock (I use the app Math Alarm Clock), so I would like to have direct access to that application instead of the standard alarm.

6) Sometimes it takes a while for the weather to update. Importantly, the latest droid update mostly fixed this problem, giving me hope that other issues will be fixed in the future.

7) There is no audio jack to send music to speakers

8) Expensive (especially since you can make your own dock with multimedia mode easily)

For the money, you might expect a bit more than a weighted base (with magnet!) and a power adapter. I know I did. You can use software to go into the same mode as the dock for free, so YMMV.

I appreciate the design. It's heavy enough to not get knocked around too easily on my desk, and my wife keeps hers in the kitchen. It would work equally well as an alarm clock/night stand device. We got these with our 2 droids since it was a nice refined way to charge them and still get plenty of functionality (weather/time/music) at a visible angle.

Pros:

1. Well weighted with rubberized bottom keeps it from bouncing around easily

2. Designed nicely - Looks sharp. The Droid's audio is surprising clear in speaker mode for playing music (especially for such a small speaker), but a Bluetooth or corded headset (or speaker setup) would work here.

3. Nice angle for keeping an eye on the clock. I'm hoping Google improves the interface... the weather section is a bit small and doesn't give much info. A real-time radar with more info would be best and perhaps a smaller alarm clock with more configuration/personalization options for color, stock ticker, etc. would be great. But this doesn't affect my review of the dock.

4. Fits perfectly and makes it easy to remember where you left your phone. :-)

Cons:

1. I thought that the cable for USB/DC Converter was a bit short. It's the same as the one that came with the Droid. Nothing that can't be amended, but for $30 they couldn't throw in another meter?

2. It boils down to being a weighted/angled slot with charger/usb cable for $30. It probably amounts to $2 in materials if that. It would be expensive at $15.

3. It really doesn't deliver much. You can get everything but the pre-positioned angle without the doc, and the doc software needs improvement (not a slam on the dock itself, just pointing it out). Unless you're really using it as an alarm clock, It's difficult to see the point now that I have it. If you're watching movies on it as a sort of TV replacement, then maybe... yeah.

4. No cases allowed (it won't fit with them on).

In the end, it is well built and designed nicely. I think it should offer more for the money (maybe built in speakers?) but it is what it is, an overpriced accessory, and for what it's worth, usually overpriced accessories are built like junk, so this gets a 4.'

Notebook Sleeve - netbook, notebook sleeve

Visit Store Now !!

I already have and very much like a slightly-larger version of this for my Dell Latitude D620 computer at work, so this was an easy purchase decision. My Eee PC 1000 already came with a similar neoprene case, but a big too big for the computer alone, yet not big enough to also hold the AC adapter and a mouse, plus no way to keep them from scratching the computer if I'd jammed them all in together.

The Caselogic LNEO-10 is just enough smaller to properly fit the 1000, with a separate zipped compartment that can accomodate both the AC adapter and a mouse. Though the result looks a bit lumpy, it works well. I also very much like the handles on the LNEO-10. They are comfortable in use, and easily fold out of the way when not in use. Case Logic LNEO-10 Ultraportable Neoprene Notebook/iPad Sleeve Fits 7 to 10.2-Inch Tablets (Black)

I picked up one of these cases for my EEE PC 1000h and it fits pretty close to perfectly. The pocket on the side is big enough to hold the power adapter and a mouse. The top handles are more useful than I would have thought, since I intended to mostly carry this case inside a messenger-style bag, but I've found it quite handy to just carry the computer in just this case. The case seems reasonably well padded, probably not enough to protect a laptop from a serious drop but enough to protect it from the occasional bump. The only thing I could ask for would be for a pocket on the other side. I'm pretty satisfied with this case.

I like the design, it's a pretty tiny case. I bought it following a recomendation for my Lenovo S10 that looks awesome in white color. So what I can not accept at first, is that the red cover inside the sleeve stains the charguer and cables that ARE WHITE. CASE LOGIC MUST HAVE TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.

If you have a black or dark netbook you'll never realize about the stains, but what if you put a document inside?

I did not notice the external pocket when I made my purchase. I was surprised to see it.

EEE 1000 fits inside the main compartment well and the power adapter fits inside the other pocket. It is not as smooth and flat when the power adapter is put in the pocket, but it is convenient for grabbing everything as one set.

The Samsung NC10 fits nicely. Not a snug fit by any means, but close enough to keep it from flopping around in the case. The external pocket holds the NC10 power supply, Bluetooth mouse and has room left for two extra batteries, a small USB router and a couple of very small items like a flash drive. The pocket will be misshapen and lumpy, but all your stuff will be in one place.

The carrying handles are soft and easy to hold.

Overall construction is typical Caselogic: very well made.

I have one small lament: no loops for a shoulder strap. My opinion is that all carrying bags should have loops o shoulder straps.

Other than that small item (and it is indeed a lament, not a complaint), the Caselogic LNEO-10 Ultra-Portable Neoprene Notebook Sleeve is an inexpensive, durable and expandable way to carry and protect your netbook.

After trying out several different cases/sleeves for my Toshiba NB205 and being disappointed with each, I stumbled upon this Case Logic Notebook sleeve. It has been an exceptional choice in that it stretches nicely and so will easily accommodate the 6-cell battery which extends out from the back of my netbook. The pocket on the front on the bag is just large enough to squeeze in a mouse and the charging cord for my computer, although it is very "lumpy" when everything is zipped in. It definitely helps to wind up the cord prior to storing it.

One of the nicest features of the bag is the handle. It is a well-built double handle that offers a secure way to carry the computer. This case would be perfect for any of the 10.1" netbooks.

This sleeve is superior to most because:

1) It is made by Caselogic (they make excellent accessories for computer items such as flash drives, memory cards, CD books and so much more. I have owned their product for several years and they are of superb quality. Hence I bought this and am delighted.

2) The outside pocket is a very big reason I bought this case and it holds: My mini retractable mouse, small mouse pad, and a small pouch with my flash drives.

Note that the power cord is somewhat bulky inside this sleeve, however, I fixed this problem by slipping my sleeve inside my ziptop briefcase and place the power cord inside the inside inner pocket. Then I am all set to go!

Also I found that this case has excellent padding for my Acer Aspire One netbook and am very pleased with it.

I recently bought one of these cases to try out on my new Toshiba Mini NB205-N330BN 10.1-Inch Sable Brown Netbook, which has the infamous "9-Hour Battery Bulge", making it difficult to fit in some standard cases. It fits perfectly. The case is small, and I confess to feeling a little self-conscious at times because of its similarity to a purse, but the neoprene protection is fantastic, and the stretchiness allows you to easily fit an additional mouse and/or power pack in the front pocket. Although it does look pretty lumpy when you do that.

It's such a solid build that I honestly don't think I'll ever need another one -- it really does feel like it's built to last. It's good enough that I immediately ordered one for my girlfriend, one for my mom, and one for my stepdad who all have Toshiba NB205 netbooks. - Notebook Sleeve - Case - Acer Aspire One - Netbook'

Memory Card Readers - micro sd card, memory card reader

I bought a 8GB HC miniSD card which came with a reader a few months ago for my phone, and was so very frustrated when I couldn't get it to read on my computer, that I almost returned it. As I was looking at the possibility that the cheap looking reader/converter that it came with was malfunctioning, I stumbled across this little gem. OMG! It worked on the very first try with no problems at all. Now, I can quickly transfer files from my computer to my phone and vice-versa quickly and without any fuss. It's also really small (I almost lost it on my cluttered desk)and will easily fit on a keychain. I highly recommend getting this Mobilemate reader from Sandisk if you have a mini hcsd card compatibility problem. Also, the price can't be beat at under $10 with shipping! Sandisk MobileMate Micro SD & M2 Reader (SDDR-121, Bulk Package)

I bought this because I have the 8Gig memory card for the Sony Walkman W580i, and it takes a VERY long time to fill the card with music using the included cable. Slip your Micro SD card into this reader, but the reader in your USB port, and load your card with your music. Finished in a fraction of the time as it takes using the cable.

Functionally, this device works as advertised so I have no complaints from that aspect. It does what it is advertised to do.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is due to its small size and the Micro SD slot is open to the elements.

As other reviewers have stated, the photo is misleading because it gives you the idea the unit is the size of a standard USB Flash Drive. In reality... it's MUCH smaller than that. It's only 1 1/4" long x 5/8 wide, 1/8" thick. I have small hands but even so its small size makes it hard to hold and insert the micro SDHC card.

(A co-worker said; "Wow, that's really small, if you sneeze you might loose it")

The good news is it comes with a lanyard so you can hook loop it over your finger while using and hook it on your keychain when not.

Also disappointing is the photo is showing the "back side" of the drive. I was thinking the red end cap would be removed, or flip up to reveal the Micro SDHC slot, but that's not the case. The slot for the SDHC card is actually on the other side. When you flip this unit over the other side has a small slot that is open and exposed to the elements all the time. If you were to carry this drive in your pocket it could easily get clogged up with lint or other debris.

I'm going to try and post some photos to give a better idea as to the size and open SDHC slot situation.

I've used these items, purchased from other vendors, in the past. The adapters seem to have a short lifespan of about 6 months. Also, beware that they need to be handled gently upon insertion and removal, as the front end plastic cracks easily. I'm also very disappointed in this particular vendor. Although the price is astonishingly low, contrary to the photographs, I received these WITHOUT THE KEYCHAIN ring and cord! Without those items, these units are useless.

Within two weeks of everyday use, the device stopped working. I verified the M2 card wasn't defective and tried the combination on another Windows PC with no luck. I would honestly only recommend this if you plan to never remove it!

I purchased this through a local store for my boss in the morning. The computer would act like it was finding it, but it would never show up in the list of removable drives. Tried everything that Sandisk support recommended on their website, and tried multiple computers running different versions of Windows (7 and XP). Same problem with all of them. It was returned to the store in the afternoon of the same day.

I've bought 5 of these things. Over a year has past, and only 2 are still operational. For some reason one day they just quit. Windows started seeing them as "unrecognized device", and then one day it wouldn't show at all. I would not recommend this product.

I bought this device with a m2 memory for my C902 sony ericsson cellphone and is very easy to use and I had 0 compatibility issues with windows/ubuntu 10.04. I also saved some music in the memory and with the adapter I was able to play the music on my usb car radio. No Problems at all!! I recommend this little friend :) !!!

Already lost track of the USB cord for the Sony Walkman phone, so I bought this thing for six bucks. Pull the micro M2 chip from the phone and pop it in here, and it's a USB memory stick. Way smaller and easier to carry around than the cord, and cheap enough that you can just get one for the work computer and one for home, so you won't lose 'em. - Memory Card Readers - Memory Card Reader - Card Reader - Micro Sd Card'

Lightscribe Dvd-r - blank dvd media, dvd media

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the many other negative reviews here, especially in regard to the long-term reliability of Memorex. I have burned many Memorex disks over the last 5-8 years and the ones that are 3-5 years old or more are now showing a high rate of failure. This makes them useless for long-term storage. If you check the discussion forums on the web and various blogs you will see Memorex's discussed time and time again in regard to their poor long-term reliability.

On the other hand, the Verbatims and the Taiyo Yudens are quite reliable, although even the Verbatims are said to have slipped in recent years because they have licensed their technology to so many substandard off shore producers. If you can still find real Japanese made Verbatims they are probably okay. But if not, beware!

So even if you don't experience a high initial burn failure rate, Memorex is highly questionable for long-term archiving, which is what I need, or at least 3-5 years. But they aren't even reliable for that, based on my experience and other people's experience which I have seen reported in various discussion groups.

Mitsui Advanced Media's dual gold/silver disks and also the Century disk, which is similar and developed by a partnership between Mitsubishi and Kodak, are quite good, but at over 2 bucks apiece they ought to be. For most purposes Taiyo Yuden is fine and theirs are around 36 cents a disk in packs of 100.

The Century disks are the most expensive of all, but also, they are guaranteed to be from runs of less than 25,000 from the original glass master. Most companies don't replace the master until 500,000 presses. This also causes problems because the master after the first couple of hundred thousand isn't that accurate.

Whichever media you decide to buy, caveat emptor because it's a mine field out there when it comes to purchasing decent media these days, one reason being because of all the fake brand name disks. I would just go with Taiyo Yuden. They are only made in Japan, but make sure you have real T-Y because of all the fakes. The real ones have a visible ring in the dye layer near the hub of the disks, which is said to be more expensive to manufacture and is harder to fake. Also, make sure the label on the package says it's from Japan, although that's not a certain criterion, but the extra little ring should be. Whichever media you choose, good luck! Memorex 4.7Gb/16x DVD-R (50-Pack Spindle)

Since I got my first DVD burner with my G4 Mac, I've been buying Memorex for creating video DVDs, as they were readily available. In the last 6 years, I think I've had maybe 10 coasters. And only recently have I come across my first DVD player that wouldn't play these discs. I wish I could remeber the brand, but it escapes me at the moment. I'll continue to buy them as they have performed great for me.

I've used them for backup as well asnd have seen a couple of verification errors when done. Unfortunately I haven't had other brands of DVDs on hand to test, but I still hold the Memorex brand in high regards.

It's not always the best idea to burn at the highest speed anyway since this can introduce errors, no matter what brand you use. Many repilcation companies will tell you that they burn at no higher speeds than 4x.

To start off with, I have to let everybody know that I'm using a very basic, budget computer (Dell Inspiron 530, Intel dual-core, 1 GB RAM, integrated graphics). Also, to give the most honestly possible review, I only used these for movies.

I had absolutely no problems when I backed up some movies that I have using Roxio Creator 10, and burning the dvds at nearly 16X most of the time. The reason this media gets all those bad reviews is because those people that are trying to burn movies, dont even know how to do it right.

To effectively back up a movie you need additionall free software on the net to do it. I'm not going to go into details about how to decrypt and shrink a dual layer movie onto a regular 4.7GB dvd, but I just have to tell you that you gotta know what you're doing or otherwise you'll get nothing but worthless coasters. As far as qulaity goes, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the actual movie and my copy. So for me, they worked flawlessly, quality was greatm and so was the price. I'm actually looking forward to buying them again.

And one last thing people, when you burn a movie you have to first create and ISO image of the file, not just copy and put the files and folders on the dvd. You'll get a nice little coaster and the dvd wont play. That's why I only had that 98% success rate instead of 100. Enjoy!

I see a lot of negative reviews here, but I've been using these discs for a couple months now with my PowerBook G4's Superdrive, and I've had no problems, at least none that I would attribute to the discs themselves. One review laments Toast Titanium 7, which in my experience is a very finnicky, buggy program. I too had a number of failed burns with that program, but I was able to remedy the situation by saving my dvd projects as disc images, and then burning them later with disc utility after I had a chance to mount them and check them out. For the price I payed for these discs, if I remember right, almost half the price of a 25 pack from other companies for a 50 pack from memorex, I am very very pleased. If you're looking to play around with dvd burning, and I guarantee you you will make a few mistakes and have to throw away a few discs before you get it right, this is the best deal you'll find anywhere. - Dvd Media - Blank Dvd Media - Dvd-r - Memorex'

Easy To Use - pdf, duplex

I have horrible problems with technology. I buy stuff, and after 4 hours of trying to get it to do what I thought it should do, it doesn't. HP does this to me all the time.

That is why I was floored when I got the S510 working in under 20 minutes exactly as I wanted it to.

You can take a bunch of pieces of paper, scan in both sides, capture it to PDF, OCR it, make it search-able, save it to disk... all by pressing one button.

I am using the ScanSnap filing system software that comes with it. It is essentially a glorified file explorer, except that it will do text in PDF searches for you based on the directory (Or Cabinet as they call it).

I set mine to extreme compression, and full resolution, and then the auto OCR. The software warns you that it will slow down scanning, and it does. It maxes out my 2-3 year old Dell D600 with .5G of RAM laptop, but it gets the job done. I can still use the computer so it doesn't block like I have read elsewhere (maybe for the S500).

This is an upgrade to the S500. Mine was black, not sure what's up with the white ones (maybe mac?).

It comes with Adobe Acrobat 8. This allows you to delete pages, rotate them, etc.

The OCR is amazing. Out of the box, it gets a little confused with i1IlL but so do I, bump it up to the max resolution, and the OCR is flawless.

I probably won't bother with the try & buy Rack2 Filer. Google Desktop isn't essential for searching.

In the hundreds of papers that I scanned over the weekend, I may have had 3 jams which are REALLY easy to clear, and the software is pretty smart about it.

If I had a newer / heftier computer, things would go A LOT faster (not the fault of the scanner or the software though, I watched my CPU spike and slow during scanning & OCR)

This literally was one of the only pieces of gear I have taken out of the box, and had 100% functional within the hour.

My .005% gripe; Be able to tell the scanner "Yeah, don't scan the backs of these pages" rather than navigate all through the menus. But disk is cheap, and I can always delete it with Acrobat later.

I'll recommend it to my friends & customers. Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 Sheet-fed Scanner

I have used this scanner and its software for the last 7 months. It works extremely well, is very fast, has nearly perfect software, and is well worth the cost. The bundled software alone is worth quite a bit. Use the background OCR for scanned documents along with Google Desktop Search or similar and you will be able to find things in seconds most of the time.

I scan every piece of mail, receipt, or paper that I get. I can now realistically go paperless - this is what I've been waiting for.

It would be nice if it had standard driver interfaces or Linux support, but I'm very happy with it otherwise.

For the price of the product, and the advertised speeds and functions, you'd think all of your printed material could be fed into this scanner. You'd be wrong. Snapshots will jam in this device. You are locked into Fujitsu's software for scanning. And, you do not get TWAIN drivers for the device, so you cannot acquire images from this scanner when inside a program like Paint Shop Pro. This is a single-purpose scanner: feed it all of your sheets of paper, and it will convert them to PDFs. If you have a lot of paper, then this is your scanner. If you have a lot of mixed media, this is NOT your scanner. Find another automatic document feed (ADF) scanner with TWAIN driver support.

-C

A fast document scanner like this one can be a huge help in organizing your life. Six months ago, the S510 was about the only game in town for a reasonable price. Now, there may be better options, especially for rather heavy-duty users like me. The pluses have been well-written about, so I'll give only the minuses:

1) No Grey Scale! B/W is fine for pure text and some graphics, but is horrible with photos. In a publication with b/w photos, one is stuck with either copying in full color which results in large files, or manually switching between color mode and B/W mode since "Auto-Color Detect" senses color, not the presence of photos.

2) The paper input tray has fences that are too short. Pages tend to torque left as they feed. The paper output tray has no fences at all, which often means that the output pages get shifted around or kicked off onto the floor. The "De-skew" option can get confused if there is graphics on the page or if the printing is stylized.

3) The color scans are too light and there is no way to adjust the setting.

4) Japan has lousy paper. As a result, this scanner has a hard time with good quality paper as it's too thick.

5) Oft-used scan options are buried in strangely organized menus.

6) Inadequate cooling. A few cooling holes in the base along with rubber feet would fix the problem, but as it is, there is no airflow through the unit.

7) Life limit of 150,000 - 200,000 pages, possibly due to the bad cooling. There are now quite a few pixels missing from the scans; it's still okay for text, but irritating for illustrations.

It's doing the job, but I'd shop around were I looking for the same type of scanner today. - Pdf - Duplex - Scansnap - Fujitsu'

I must admit I was a little bit skeptical since there are two bad reviews. But after I read them it seems these reviews are not really about the product (one is about mac software issues, the other one had unrealistic expectation on the mini camcorders). Anyway, I always like Creative's products, full of features and well worth the money. So I decided to give it a try and it didn't disappoint me at all. The one we bought is the 2nd generation glossy white/green 4GB version. The first impression is very beautiful and ultra slim. And it comes with a silicone skin (a bonus here!). Uploading the video to youtube is a breeze and the HD clip we shot looks very sharp on the youtube site. The microphone does a good job to pick up the sound. The audio sounds good and clean. You can also use the included software to tweak the video and audio after you shoot them. I am very satisfied and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a mini pocket HD camcorder! Creative Labs Vado HD 4 GB Pocket Video Camcorder, 2nd Generation (White Gloss with Green Accents)

had early model of aipek recorder. found this one to be much better. smaller. easy to choose options. only fault is that it has been left running by me ... need some way to shut off automatically. what a surprise when i viewed the first clip, the HD image was spectacular!

I bought this for my 10 yr. old son for his birthday. What a great product. This camera is so easy to use, even my wife could use it. My son loves it. He video records everything these days. He even writes scripts, and has his friends act them out while he records them in HD. The video quality is pretty good for the price, and the transfer is so easy, even a 10 year old can do it. The indoor quality is better than the Flip camera my older son has. And like the flip, it is super easy to post videos on youtube and other hosting sites. These cameras are great for shooting in close spaces, but they lack when recording in larger environments such as sporting events.

If you're looking for a convenient, easy to use video cam for recording your memories, this is a great value.

I first want to say picture and sound are very nice. Very easy to use. However, I just took it on a vacation and the battery indicator said it had about 25% battery life left when the thing crapped out. When I got home I plugged it in my computer usb port to recharge it and it works fine since it is recharged. I missed out recording some really nice scenes due to poor battery performance. This unit only recharges in a computer USB port unless you buy a charger for it for about $30 extra. Would have given it five stars if it came with a charger or at least the battery indicator light was accurate. Fully charged only lasted about 30 minutes of use.

Other than the battery cover being a little tough to get off(you only have to take it off once to get the rechargeable battery in there) this thing is a breeze to set up. I have owned one for over a year now and i love this thing. I knew my mom wanted a camera handy and i don't think she quite yet understands how much she will appreciate this little HD gem. The wide angle lens is the real seller here guys, seriously i have checked out lots of handy cams, none that i have seen compare. Mic works well too. Overall great product and simple! She loves it so far.

i purchased vado from amazon for 99 but ended up returning it within a few days. the biggest problem i had was with turning the product on and off. the on/off button was quite unreliable. i would keep pressing the button and eventually had to take the battery off and then insert it again to turn the camcorder on. the product looks good and is very simple to use. the fixed focal length is a little bothersome and i wonder if going for a digital camera based camcorder like the panasonic zs3 would be a better bet.

I bought the Vado because I wanted to have a video camera handy to capture the cute things my dogs do every day.

To get out the big movie cam we have would mean missing 'moments'. This little camera does the job just fine. It's not that great in low light (thus four stars out of five), but it's terrific in daylight, or anywhere that has decent indoor light. That's good enough for me. It came with an extra battery and silicone case, BTW.

I took it to Chicago and it was amazing capturing sightseeing sites, etc.

The best part is, it fits in a pocket, and you just plug it in to your computer, download & you've got your memories forever.

I've had the Creative Vado HD now for a couple months and have used it a couple times. I was looking for something with pretty decent quality for a cheap price, and it definitely lives up to that. But be warned, Creative is probably the only company who decided to make things more difficult for you if you use a mac. The Vado saves it's files in a format that iMovie cannot read, so you have to do a lot of leg work to actually get the files into a format that can be put into iMovie. It's too long and tedious, and given the chance, I probably wouldn't have bought this in favor of something with better connectivity for my Mac - Flip Video - Vado - High Definition - Vado Hd'

I bought the book believing i will learn a lot, however i did not learn as much as expected.

Pros:

*Nice pictures and good quality paper.

*Easy to read and fun on a rainy day.

*Low cost.

*Recommendations about the tackle, the best of the book.

*A few pictures about casting

Cons:

*No drawings about fishing line or fishing strategies. Only drawings availables are at Appendix 2 and are about knots for hooks, not for lures, and are pictures no drawings.

*NOT the complete book of surf fishing. It is far from a "complete book".

If you are a beginner on surf fishing, you will hardly find a "complete book on surf fishing", you will need 2-3 books that covers different topics, but not this one.

Not recommended for surf fishing learning techniques or strategies. However The Complete Book of Surf Fishing

I had done some surf fishing when I was younger. Now that I'm approaching retirement I've decided to get back into it. The fish haven't changed much, but surf rods and reels have changed quite a bit since I bought my equipment in the 1970s. Everything, from rods and reels to lines and hooks, is lighter, more powerful, more specialized and more sophisticated these days. While I'm certain I could still catch fish with my old gear, I'm sure that some new stuff will make my efforts more fun and efficient. The instructions in this book are clear and the photos are sharp and very helpful. Long-time sharpys won't learn much from this book, but newcomers and casual surf anglers can pick up enough information here to get them into fish often enough that they will want to stay with the sport and become more expert at it.

This book is a good place to start if you are looking to fish the surf. It gives practical and useful advice to help you, but like any sport you won't read yourself to competence. You have to just get out there and do it!

I just started surf fishing and this book provided me with 90% of what I needed. Everything else was on-hand experience which no book could teach. It saved me hours and hours of "guess work" at the beach. Even friends of mine have borrowed my book seeing my success based on what I've accomplished due to this book (now i dont even know who has it, so many have borrowed it).

I was first taken by surf fishing when vacationing as kid with my family in Mexico. A group of laid back locals stood around drinking some beers and shooting the breeze-until the rod bent like a crazy and the guy (they were all men) sprung to action and wrestled with the catch, hauling it a big fish (no idea what kind). It had a thrill and appeal to it: minimal work and big pay off for exciting work.

In Surf Fishing, Al Ristori (the fishing editor for the Star Ledger) captures the appeal of surf fishing, with lots of practical advice. The book has tons of great caliber photos and the whole book is printed on thick, glossy paper. If you're interested in surfing fishing, you'll be pleased with this one.

I didn't read this book... I started it, but in perusing through the book, I realized there is only photos of two women in the whole book, neither of them identified, unlike the other photos. I can only assume (yes, I know what that means...) he thinks surf fishing is too strenuous, too macho for women.'
