Kitty - kitty


Its very simple and quite pretty. I have gotten many complements on it. The writing is a little hard to read but I know what it says and thats all that matters to me. The chain is nice. I wear it with the cat and words facing out. I would purchase it again and for someone else. I could do without the paw print side. Sterling Silver "In A Purrfect World Every Cat Would Have A Home And Every Home Would Have A Cat" Reversible Pendant with Cat, 18"

As a major "Cat Person", I wanted a cat themed necklace and searched through many different ones for sale on Amazon. This one had the best reviews, best price, and didn't look like something a teenager would wear. So, I bought this for myself and received it yesterday. As a previous poster mentioned, it was even prettier than I was expecting. The pendant itself is smaller than I thought it would be, but it's actually the perfect size. The chain it comes on is a great length too. It shines, and I acutally like the paw on the back side. I will probably alternate which side I wear it on. The words on it are near and dear to me, and I would say any cat lover would adore this necklace. :)

I got it today and it's even more pretty than what I thought when I bought it. The letters might be a little bit faded out, but I agree with the other person who reviewed it: you know what it says and that's why it is special for you :)

I'm going to wear very, very often, I love it! :) - Kitty'

White Suit


Just perfect at a reasonable price! Nice quality. This was my first time seeing a "zippered tie" (instead of clip on) which made for easy on/ off and even loosening. My little guy looked adorable. And the outfit didn't bother him one bit. 5 Piece White First Communion or Christening Suit with Shirt, Vest, and Tie - Size M (9 Month)'

I've had good results with other Verbatim LightScribe discs, but I won't use the colored discs again. They looked terrific when I first burned them, but after about two weeks the images started to fade and blur - even on discs that were stored indoors and out of sunlight. Verbatim 95092 700 MB 52x LightScribe Gold Recordable Discs CD-R, 20-Disc Slim Case

I used to mark my disks with glue on labels. Well after making hundreds of labels they all went bad because of the glue, the ink, or the blank media. It took about a year and a half for the disks to go bad. I really did not know what caused it, but they were slowly ruined as if on a time table. They all sounded as if they were off balance when spinning in the drive and the sound would come out all garbled. Thankfully they were all music and not data. Anyways it was a big disappointment for me losing all that music.



So I started over using a "Sharpie" to mark my disks. A Sharpie is a permanent ink marking pen. The disks were pretty boring looking but at least I felt as though I was safe and the disks would last.



Well I bought a HP computer that had the Lightscribe feature. It was an inexpensive add on. I was blown away by the quality of the finished product. I use the Lightscribe software (it cost me $12 but I think I got it at a discount because I bought the computer) that is very easy to use and very versatile. I have made probably 50 disks so far and no two look the same. I can insert my own images or pictures, background or fonts or use the templates that came with the LightScribe Software. The results look fantastic. It takes about 30 minutes to Scribe a disk but all the information is on the disk. A picture of the CD cover or a picture of the artist, all the songs and a beautiful background of my choosing. They can make very professional looking presentations if you are in business, they are not just for music. You can run other applications while you are burning so I really don't mind the time it takes to burn them. I am sure this is a medium that will only get better and better in the next ten years. Color Lightscribe disks are a way off in the future though.



Thanks,



Bill

There is nothing in particular that I can find wrong with this media. In fact, standalone, the media if great. My problem is being misled by my Amazon.com search. I input a search for labelflash and this media came up; leading me to believe that it worked with a labelflash drive. No. It ONLY works on lightscribe drives. I am only writing this review so that 1) Amazon can change their tagging so others won't be misled and 2) If Amazon does not change their tagging, others will not fall into the same trap that I did.

I really must say that these lightscribe enabled discs are great. You really can make professional looking labels easily. (...)



It's super easy to use, just select any image to use as a background, add some text, add some text effects if you want, choose fonts, arrange the layout and burn. It takes about 30-40 minutes to burn a full label (with some text and a full-color image as a background).



The discs have a gold-colored backing that allows for the lightscribe writer to burn an image. The quality is great in that the gray-scale seems to have all shades of gray. You can burn images of people (friends, music singers) and it looks great.



My only wish is that in the future they come out with silver backed discs. Unless of course for some reason the gold-colored backing is a necessity. I would also expect that the time it takes to burn will decrease with future models.

Good product, what makes it especially nice is that no additional supplies are needed; however, you MUST have a LightScribe enabled drive.

This is NOT compatible with "Labelflash"!

LightScribe is an excellent way to provide permanent, good-looking labels that neither wrinkle nor come off in a disk reader.

The time to make a label depends on the amount and complexity of the information, it could be v e r y long.

These discs are just super to work with. The software I have has some interesting options to make very snappy looking labelling for presentations or for sales. I bought an HP with Lightscribe built in to the DVD/CD burner and have been burning ever since. Your information is inscribed into the CD meaning you can find another use for those black laundry markers and for those paper labels which tend to get expensive and are just one thing to figure out. What could be more easy than flipping a CD over and reinserting it to burn in the labelling?

The larger the format and the more intricate the design, the longer it takes to create but it goes very fast in a smaller scale. Just to experiment, I did a very large involved design which took 20 minutes. Others have taken much much less.

The price isn't objectionable as these are high-quality discs which I find essential when I'm copying photographs then deleting them from the memory card. I don't trust many of the cheaper brands to preserve what's so important to me. - Lightscribe - Media Storage'

Shipping Rip Off - bundle me, blanket with sleeves


Purchased for my 7 year old, it's been a huge hit. He's been wearing it constantly. Beautiful dark blue and came with bonus slipper socks to match, it's a must have. He's worn it as a robe to walk around in, and 'backward' to wrap up in while playing video games. Soft, thin, fleece material, just like the adult ones. This is pretty good sized for a child, which is good, he will get allot of use out of it. We have an adult snugglie, and as thin as the fleece is, it's very warm. I would buy another one of these as a gift. Snuggie For Kids - Blue

This is a product made from very inferior material that not only is thin but leaves hunks of lint everywhere - even after being washed numerous times. Buying this product was truly a waste of money. Spending the purchae price of this product for a blanket is a much wiser investment. Don't waste your money on this!

My grandsons wanted this for Christmas so I delivered. One of them loves it and the other doesn't. Isaiah does not like the feel of the material so he gave his to his older brother. Most kids will love it but if you have one who is picky about the feel of his clothes he/she will probably not like the feel of a snuggie. I also found it $5. cheaper at my local Walgreens after buying from Amazon.

I love the concept of the Snuggie. In fact I have a plush Snuggie that I got at Costco and I love it; however, the very first day, it got a hole in it. This snugglette is much lower quality. The kids love it but the quality is just not there. After the very first washing, it started to fall apart.

We ordered both this blue Snuggie and the pink one. They are both described as exactly the same thing and were ordered from the same seller, yet when we received them they were distinctly different. First of all, the the blue one was boxed as in the picture; the pink one arrived in essentially a well-sealed dark plastic bag. However, the blue one is noticeably inferior to the pink one we received...the fabric is visibly thinner and not at all as "cozy" as the picture portrays. It's really pretty embarrasing given that these were Christmas gifts. Both have been through the wash and have held up fine, but really, this blue one does look like a rag relative to the other. A very disappointing lack of quality control from the seller.

I purchase this snuggie blanket for my grandson birthday, and he love it.This product is great nice and warm and came with booties and I also got it at a great price.I highly recommend this snuggie blanket.

My daughter loves this product. The only thing I was a little upset with is the free booties had a hole in one. It wasn't that big of a deal, so I didn't exchange it. But on the whole a wonderful product worth every penny to see the smile on my daughters face. - Christmas - Blanket With Sleeves - Fleece - Bundle Me'

Manduka Yoga Mat - yoga accessories, yoga mat


I disagree with the other person who reviewed this product. This towel is so much better than a regular hand towel during my 90 minute hatha yoga classes. I get pretty sweaty and the towel is super absorbent...it does not become heavy and wet like a regular hand towel. Manduka eQua Hand Towel (Thunder)

This little towel is a handy portable size and pretty color, but it's so soft that it is pretty useless as a towel rather than an accessory. Imagine wiping velvet across your sweaty face - it just makes you feel gross and even a bit hotter. I tried blotting, but that was no good either.

I bought this towel along with the full size to put over my yoga mat. I use it to wipe my face during yoga. I loved it so much that I bought another to use whenever I do activities and sweat (dance and tennis). It absorbs the sweat really well and is much better than a hand towel. Sometimes I put it down in the car if I'm sweaty on my drive home. I think it absorbs better if you don't use fabric softener when you wash it....

I take power yoga in a heated room and prior to purchasing this I just used a washcloth from home to wipe sweat off my face. This soaks up the sweat so much better. It is an odd feeling if your used to just a normal hand towel but it is really obsorbant and does not get overly wet during class. Highly recomend this hand towel as well as the skidless large towel to put over your mat if you are taking a hot yoga class.

Love this towel! Great color, very soft and absorbent. I do hot yoga and this towel grips better with the Manduka black mat than yogitoes. It bunches a little but no more than yogitoes and doesn't interfere with my practice. Washes well with no fading or bleeding.

This towel is easy to pack and carry, lightweight and absorbent. The mat doesn't have the non-skid silicone feet that some other mat towels have, but it seems to do a fine job, especially after it gets a little damp.

I bought this product because my favorite yoga hand towels by Luminaire are no longer available. This towel is a complement to the larger one I bought. It's the perfect size, 'fluffy',absorbent and just as lightweight and easy to care for as my old ones. I do Bikram Yoga so I need a hand towel to wipe my face and neck during the class. It absorbs like there is no tomorrow, and stands up to regular washing. A perfect yoga hand towel.

Excellent product. I bought this for the job as I work at the shipyard and when the sun beats down on a metal ship, things start to bake at VERY high temperatures. I dont go anywhere without this thing in my back pocket. It literally sucks the sweat off my skin whilst still being gentle and stays dry all day even when you mop up your wet face.



If it can handle that, I am sure it can handle a simple workout at home.

I thought this towel was going to be something special but it's just a microfiber towel with the Manduka logo. It's priced a little higher than what I'd value it at but nothing extravagant. Get it if you're into name brands or save three to five dollars and buy a generic towel.



Pros -

Area, larger than a typical hand towel

Thickness, easily stowable



Neutral -

Texture, it's soft but I feel like I'm going to wash my car when I pick it up.



Con -

Cost, costs 20 - 33% more than comparable towels. - Yoga Mat - Yoga Accessories - Yoga - Bikram'

Fishing Chair With Rod - camping, folding chair


I got this item, and at first glance was not impressed. It just seems like a lot of stuff crammed together and just appeared like it might have been a simple construct. And I suppose it is pretty simple when I think about it. But after using it twice now, it is a life saver! I fish at a place where you have to climb down a rocky dam to get to the water's edge. This chair was a life saver in that I took my small tackle container and carried it in the pouch, had my drinks in the ice chest, stuck my net into the pouch and put this puppy on my back. When I was done I still had one hand free for the walk. The reclining option is GREAT for long fishing days and just relaxing. I will be buying another...because the wife tries to snag this one constantly! Very happy! *****The pole holder is hidden in the pouch when you receive this. At first glance it looks like they forgot the holder - so check the pockets for it before you assume the same like I did**** Oasis DELUXE BACKPACK FISHING CHAIR w/ ROD HOLDER & BOTTLE HOLDER-5 YEARS WARRANTY-High Quality Product..

They look great and are really cute but not durable at all. I had them for a few days before the plastic in the ears cracked and broke...they are still in one piece but I'm afraid to wear them. I don't really want them to fall apart... Cat Ears and Tail Fox Fur

This item worked well as a gray squirrel ears and tail. My daugther (in the 4th grade) needed to do a report on the state mammal which is the gray squirrel. She dressed as a squirrel and did a song and dance. It was good enough to get her an A. - Cosplay'
